Homemade Organic Beeswax Candle with Hemp Wick

Homemade 5 oz organic beeswax candle with hemp wick 🐝Beeswax emits negative ions when it burns. Negative ions clean the air of odors and bacteria. Falling water, like waterfalls, rain, and snow, also gives off negative ions. In a similar way, beeswax candles clean the indoor air. 🐝 Some types of candles produce minute traces of chemicals known to be carcinogenic. A growing collection of research suggests that scented candles are toxic, burning enough chemicals to make them comparable to second-hand smoke.³ Beeswax candles are all natural, they do not produce toxic byproducts and heavy soot when burned. Beeswax candles contain none of the harmful chemicals found in paraffin wax. 🐝 Beeswax releases a sweet honey scent as it burns, which becomes more pronounced when the candle flame is extinguished. Volatile organic compounds also known as aroma compounds are the ones responsible for the honey aroma. The volatile compounds found in flowers’ nectar are transferred to honey and provides a happy relaxing feeling. 🐝 They may smell nice and look cozy on a dark evening. But, perfumes or scented candles can trigger asthma symptoms. Individuals who suffer from breathing difficulties such as asthma or allergies should consider burning only pure beeswax candles, and burning the candles for 30-60 minutes in the bedroom before sleeping can help clear the air for more restful sleep.
