The main purpose of aromatherapy candles is to influence people's emotions and mental states through the fragrance they release. Different scents have different effects, including:
- Soothing and Relaxing: Certain scents like lavender, chamomile, and orange blossom are believed to relax nerves and alleviate anxiety and stress.
- Invigorating and Stimulating: Scents like lemon, peppermint, and rosemary are thought to help improve focus, stimulate the mind, and enhance memory.
- Improving Sleep: Aromas such as chamomile, cedarwood, and sandalwood are believed to help improve sleep quality and aid in falling asleep.
- Insect Repellent and Air Freshening: Some scents like lemon eucalyptus, eucalyptus, and lavender are believed to have insect-repelling and air-freshening effects.
In addition to their impact on emotions and mental states, aromatherapy candles are also commonly used to enhance the ambiance of a space, add fragrance to a room, or serve as decorative items.
