As I am a candle lover I use to switch off the electric light once I have prepared the dinner. I always use scented candles to light the room. Out of the various scents flavors available, what I usually prefer are lavender for calmness, rose for emotional healing, and Jasmine for confidence. Till now I have been using candles that were made of paraffin wax and now I am using aromatherapy soy candles for many reasons.
Aromatherapy Soy Candles – The Ecological Benefits
As the name indicates the aromatherapy soy candles are made of soybeans whereas the paraffin wax comes from petroleum. You are not going to solve the petroleum problem in the nation by using the soy candles but it could be of little help to the farmers and moreover these soy candles are biodegradable. Thus it can disintegrate quickly even if it is dumped on earth. Paraffin wax candles when burnt release carcinogens whereas the soy candles do not release it and hence the soy candles are safe to use.
Other benefits of Aromatherapy Soy Candles
Apart from the environmental benefits there are other benefits too on using aromatherapy soy candles. These candles last longer than the conventional paraffin candles. It is found that they burn 35 to 50 percent more time than the conventional paraffin candles. Moreover they are a money save since you use a single candle for more time.
Soot is less when you use a soy candle. There is no need to clean the soot in the shelf that you find when you use the paraffin candles. Even if some wax drips on the shelf it can be cleaned easily since it is water soluble. On using the paraffin wax candles you would be going on search for a knife to scrape the paraffin on the shelf.
The soy candles burn more even and cool. This is necessary to produce a steady and strong scent. In the paraffin candles the scents are lost as they burn. The price of the aromatherapy soy candles are more or less the same as the paraffin candles so there is nothing wrong in giving it a try. You can find the aromatherapy soy candles in any candle store or in the websites. You can even try making the aromatherapy soy candles at home. Why not give it a try?
