5 Aromatherapy Candles You Need For Relaxation

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fairfield chapter.

One of my favorite things to do after a long and stressful day is curl up under a blanket and light
a delicious-smelling candle. But now, lighting a candle can actually positively impact your
health.

Aromatherapy candles have essential oils, which originate from plants. The best part about
essential oils is that they possess medical benefits, some relating to helping with stress or fatigue.
Previous studies have even shown the positive effects from aromatherapy and the usage of
essential oils for relaxation or health. The oil particles are transported to the brain, producing
beneficial impacts. Next time you’re feeling extra stressed, try out one of these miracle-working
aromatherapy candles!
