Our Beeswax Candles
are spectacular! It takes approximately thirty-three million visits to
flowers for bees to create a single pound of beeswax and then that wax gets
transformed into gorgeous, decorative candles that are actually good for us
when burned.
Our Beeswax Candles
are naturally drip-less and smokeless, and they tend to have longer
burning time than other candles made from various types of waxes. When beeswax
burns, it cleans and purifies the air; it’s beneficial to us. Some types of
candles produce minute traces of chemicals known to be carcinogenic, but this
is not a problem with beeswax candles. Since it is an all-natural product, they
are more attractive to individuals who practice a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle. Even though
they usually are more expensive, they also burn longer. Thus, are more cost
effective, in the long run. Unlike paraffin candles, which are made from
petroleum-based wax, beeswax candles have completely a clean, non-toxic burn
and produce negative ions when burning.
Negative Ions
- These charged molecules
are created when air molecules break apart because of sunlight, radiation, or
the movement of air and water. The number of negative ions in an environment
can vary greatly depending on the environment, and it is unknown exactly why
negative ions affect the body in such a positive manner.
Positive Results:
·Negative ions relieve
stress
·boosts energy and
alertness levels
·reduces the amount of
dust mites, mold and dander in the air, easing
allergy and asthma symptoms and improving breathing for anyone nearby.
·they may help protect
against airborne germs by attaching to positively charged ions that are holding
other contaminants airborne.
Possible Theories Explaining How This Works:
·They cause a biochemical
reaction that increase serotonin levels
·They increase the flow
of oxygen to the brain
·They stimulate the
pituitary gland, which regulates the endocrine glands including the adrenal and
thyroid glands, causing a positive result.
The
simple act of burning a candle has relaxing properties and can aid in stress
relief and meditation. The mildly sweet, natural honey scent of beeswax candles
can aid relaxation without being overwhelming as artificially scented candles
can become. And if aromatherapy is desired, place a couple drops of essential
oils into the warm wax around the flame. It’s a lovely way to infuse a room
with scent.
Beeswax
candles have the brightest, purest light of any candles and are closest to
natural sunlight. If the candles are to be used as a light source, this can
help minimize eye strain and reduce headaches. Burning the candles for thirty
to sixty minutes in the bedroom prior to sleeping can help clear the air for
more restful sleep. Beeswax candles are also best to use in the kitchen where
they will help neutralize odors without tainting food with artificial aromas. Beeswax
candles can even be used in a nursery to clean the air for young, delicate
lungs. Of course, burning any candle should occur with proper adult
supervision.
Using beeswax candles not only supports bee
keepers; it also keeps bee colonies healthy. This maybe one of the best reasons
to use beeswax candles. Because
beeswax candles are all natural, safer to burn, and provide health benefits,
they are the best choice for burning.
