The ingredients used in the making of aromatherapy candles is as natural as you can get. Candles and aromatherapy candles are made largely from soy or beeswax.Bees work away producing natural beeswax while soy wax is made from plant materials and nothing else. The scents or aroma that are given off as aromatherapy candles burn comes from the essential oils extracted from plants.
Plant extracts are distilled which produces a more concentrated essential oil which we can enjoy and benefit from when we light our aromatherapy candles.

Of all the different options lavender may be the favorite due to it’s calming and relaxing benefits. Eucalyptus with peppermint is said to be refreshing. while cinnamon is good for making you home feel welcoming to visitors.
The whole purpose of aromatherapy candles is to make us feel good by enjoying the essential plant oils released as they burn. The scientific proof has not been produced yet as far as I am aware.
