So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

All-Natural Scented Aromatherapy Soy Candles

By Kelly Wood


There are many kinds of aromatherapy soy candles available containing different ingredients. Every scented candle is basically some combination of oils mixed into a wax. In the case of a soy candle, it's made of soy beans that have been processed into vegetable wax. Essential oils mixed into the wax are responsible for the natural scent it gives off when the candle is lit.

This formula creates a candle that differs from the traditional kind in that it is not only scented, but also environment-friendly. The fumes are therapeutic and completely non-toxic. The exact benefits will vary based on the scent, but most give relief from stress and enhance mental clarity. It also assists in the revitalization process.

By the time the candle melts and burns out, all the ingredients will have been returned to nature, from whence they came. It's a big difference as compared to a traditional paraffin-wax candle, which is made from petroleum byproducts and has a huge carbon footprint. It also does not have any inherent therapeutic benefits distinct from the oils.

The soy candle, it is important to note, has a lower melting point than the normal kind. It can turn into a puddle of wax in the heat of the sun on an especially hot day, even if there's no flame burning it up. The point here is that these candles must be bought and kept in holders before and after use too.

Alternatively, additives may be included in the composition to increase its melting point. The candles used in aromatherapy must only have ingredients that can be found in nature, and cannot contain any artificial additives. When the candle burns, the aroma of the soy-based wax combines with the scent of the oil and creates an atmosphere of freshness that patients can soak in and feel revitalized.

The exact effect, as mentioned above, varies based on the scent chosen. The selection of true aka single scents available is vast, and covers almost any fragrant object found in nature that can be processed into oils. It could be eucalyptus or lavender, or anything from cedarwood to clove, cinnamon, mint, orange, sage, rosemary, etc. The scent the candle gives out is exactly the same as inhaling the smell of eucalyptus leaves or sniffing the orange.

Another possibility is a synergy, which is nothing but a combination of single scents. The end result is that the effect of the synergy is far stronger than the individual effects of each of the essential oils used in the blend. For instance, combining mint with eucalyptus and rosemary creates a blend that clears up sinuses, gets rid of fatigue and provides heightened mental clarity.

A combination of cedarwood with fir needles and spruce creates the freshness of a forest inside the room. It alleviates depression, and leaves people free from worries about their daily life and urban headaches. Professionals use many such blends of aromatherapy soy candles to create the desired effect. The good thing about it is that this method involves no downside. The affordable candles are completely harmless to both the patient as well as the environment.
