Positive Scented Candles for mental health and well-being
Discover some aromas and their effects on the body
Scented candles can boost your mental health and make you feel good. Let’s explore different scents and their effects on your body.
Scented candles create a cozy, relaxing vibe and cleanse the energy in your space. They smell amazing when lit and look way prettier than regular candles. Plus, they bring a sense of calm and peace to the area they’re in. You can light them up after a stressful day, to refresh your home, add some extra mood to your space, during aromatherapy sessions, or just to beautify your place.
Laura Picollini, an expert in scented candles, says refreshing your space is a fantastic way to bring in some freshness, calm, and comfort. “Scented candles are a go-to for setting up a welcoming and chill atmosphere,” she notes.
Picking the perfect handmade candle for your space means thinking about what you want from the room, what it looks like, and the vibe you’re aiming for. “For example, lavender, chamomile, or vanilla scents are great for bedrooms because they’re relaxing and can help you sleep better.
For social areas like the living room, citrusy or herbal scents can make the place feel more lively and uplifting,” adds Laura.
