AROMATHERAPY
Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils extracted from trees, flowers, shrubs, herbs and other plants to promote health and a general sense of well being. I use essential oils in my candles because they offer the highest quality fragrance, and they also have therapeutic benefits. For example, the combination of Jasmine, Pink Grapefruit and Cucumber in my 'Pink Rain' candle is known to be an appetite suppressant. Most people don't know that the fragrance combination of Pumpkin, Cinnamon, and Vanilla found in my 'Raw Pumpkin Spice' candle is an aphrodisiac for men! Many of the essential oil combinations found in my candles are designed to relax the mind, uplift the spirits, and create a peaceful atmosphere.
