Aromatherapy candles can be used in the treatment of multiple diseases. Aromatherapy helps people cope with their health problems, for example by relieving high levels of stress, reducing tension and improving mood. Not only do they give off pleasant scents: aromatherapy candles also create the correct light environment. With the necessary tools, you can create candles of different scents, shapes and textures.
Steps
Step 1. Place 10 medium-sized unscented candles in an old saucepan
Put the saucepan back on the stove and turn on a medium flame.
Step 2. Give the wax time to melt
Don't lose sight of the saucepan during the wax melting process. Once the fusion is complete, remove the wicks with the help of a pair of long pliers and throw them away.
Step 3. Grab thick pot holders and remove the saucepan from the heat
Move it to a cold stove.
Step 4. Pour 10-12 drops of an essential oil of your choice into the melted wax
Stir with an old wooden spoon to evenly distribute the oil in the wax.
Step 5. Add a dye of your choice if you want to change the tone of the wax
By omitting this step, you will simplify the process of preparing your aromatherapy candles.
Step 6. Roll the end of a wick around a pen or pencil and balance the object on the edge of one of your candle molds
The lower part of the wick, equipped with a special stop, will lie on the bottom of the mold.
Step 7. Pour the wax into the mold being careful not to burn yourself
Continue forming the number of candles you want and make sure you pour the same amount of wax into each mold of the same shape.
Step 8. Unroll the wick from the pencil
Trim off the excess.
Step 9. Set the candles aside by handling them with the pot holders
Store them in a safe place where they cannot be accidentally hit.
Step 10. Give the wax time to cool and shape
Then you can light your candles and enjoy the benefits of an aromatherapy treatment.
Step 11. Use molds of different shapes creatively
You will get candles of different shapes. You can purchase candle molds at a creative DIY accessories store.
