The Power of Essential Oils To Improve Your Wellness

Self-care and looking after your mental wellness have never been more important. The last 18 months have been a rollercoaster. If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s the importance of taking time out to look after our mental and physical wellbeing. Whether you’re a fan of the hygge lifestyle or enjoy the simple pleasure of lighting a candle, you’ll know that essential oils are at the heart of any wellness routine. 

Our wellbeing candle collection is made with rejuvenating essential oils. We’re looking at the power of essential oils to unlock your wellbeing, opening your senses and calming your mind. If you struggle with anxiety or stress, essential oils can be a game-changer for your day.

The health and wellness benefits of essential oils

Essential oils are nature’s stress reliever. They’re made when plants are distilled and turned into a concentrated essence, transferring the plant’s benefits to liquid form. Essential oils have been at the heart of medicine and wellness for generations, dating back to Ancient Egypt and 4500 BC.

The most popular way of using essential oils is through aromatherapy with a wellbeing candle. Are you feeling drained and burnt out? Burning a candle can help boost your energy and re-energise you. Our Uplift candle contains the natural mood-boosters of orange, lemon, and grapefruit. 

Burning an essential oil candle can act as a sleep aid, helping to relieve stress and tension to improve your sleep quality. Our Relax lavender wellbeing candle is the perfect kiss goodnight. You want to start burning your candle around an hour before bedtime to help you relax and unwind.

Lavender is one of the most popular essential oils, treating everything from insomnia to anxiety and stress. It’s the perfect choice for your first wellbeing candle to show you the benefits of essential oils.

Essential oils are widely hailed for their health benefits. If you have sensitive skin, you might not want to apply essential oil directly to your body. A wellbeing candle is a perfect alternative, giving you all the benefits of the essential oil without irritating your skin. With winter right around the corner, it’s time when colds and flu become more common. Our Refresh wellbeing candle is blended with eucalyptus and peppermint essential oils which are good at fighting colds and have aromatherapy benefits that allow you to breathe easy.

More of us are working at home than ever before. A wellbeing candle is a staple for your office. Essential oils help prevent mental fatigue, keeping you productive and alert as you get through your to-do list. Aromatherapy candles with essential oils can help lower your blood pressure, keeping your stress levels at bay. 

Wellbeing candles are also perfect for enjoying 'me' time! Our Revitalise essential oil candle is a spa like candle that allows you to revitalise in aromas of freshness and calming abidance. You can enjoy the relaxing and detoxifying aromatherapy benefits of lemongrass, grapefruit and patchouli essential oil which help to reduce stress and balance mood.
