HOW TO MAKE DIY SCENTED CANDLES

Lavender scented candle have aromatherapy properties. Lavender scent is a mix

of floral and sweet undertones. Lavender oil is essential to reduce anxiety, reduce
headaches, help you to sleep easier and makes you calm.
The first thing you need to do is to arrange your materials and this are soy wax,
lavender oil, jar, dried lavender flower and candle wick. Make sure that the jar is clean.
Second, in a pot, melt the soy wax in a low medium fire, stirring regularly to prevent it
from burning.
One thing about lavender is that it plays a vital role in helping the brain to stay
calm and free of nightmare, panic attacks and unnecessary stress. In 2014, scientists
conducted a study using lavender to threat the consequences of cerebral ischemia and
brain edema. The study revealed that lavender and its compounds are an ideal addition
to medication taken to improve brain activity post-trauma.
And for the next step, remove the wax from fire and add the lavender essential
oil. Stir the mixture for 30 times to guarantee the mixture is homogenous and consistent.
Next, allow to cool the wax for a minute. Stir the wax thoroughly before pouring it into
the jars. Secure the wick and place the wick in the center.
A popular essential oil to mix with lavender is vanilla. If you’re going for cozy
vibe, add the warm, sweet scent of vanilla to your floral fresh scented lavender.
For the fifth step, allow the candle to cool overnight. You may see that the wax
around the wick was sunken in a little after the candle cooled. If there is a sinkhole,
remelt the remaining wax and fill the gaps. For the last step, let the candle rest at a
room temperature for about two weeks after covering it with the lid. Before lighting the
candle trim the wick to ¼.
It is easier and convenient to make your own lavender scented candles at home.
Lavender offers a wide range of medical and therapeutic characters. Lavender is a must
