Aromatherapy and Topical Benefits of Soy Candles

Aromatherapy is a holistic treatment that has been around for over 6000 years that uses scents to care for the body. Massages have been a healing tool for thousands of years as well, and candles have been used in health and metaphysical practices as long as fire has been around. These three extraordinary benefits can be found in BodyWise Candles.

Because the aromatherapy blend comes already prepared in the candle it is easy to use. You do not have to have extensive knowledge in essential oils to receive the benefits. All you have to do is light the candle. It releases a faint, yet continuous stream of floral and herbal essential oils into the air. Because they are made of 100% cosmetic grade soy it contains no toxins as many of the paraffin candles do. You will indulge in vapors that enter the respiratory system and ultimately get imbibed into the bloodstream.

The purpose of aromatherapy is to activate the olfactory cells which are actually nerve cells and the only place in the body where the central nervous system is exposed and in direct contact with the environment. It is an oxymoron to have an aromatherapy candle that is made of paraffin. The candle industry doe not require that you disclose ingredients. BodyWise gives full disclosure, but if you are buying another candle, make sure it is natural for if not you really can't be sure what you are putting in your body.

Since BodyWise candles are made of cosmetic grade soy and numerous essential oils and minerals are added to create a luxurious skin lotion you can reap the benefits of a massage as well as topical benefits. Now you are not only receiving olfactory health benefits, but your pores are absorbing the soy and minerals. The benefits of soy are numerous. Soy is an anti-aging agent and is an antioxidant. It also has been known to alleviate menopausal symptoms due to the isoflavones which act as estrogen in the body once absorbed. Add to this the therapeutic healing of touch. Touching is a natural human reaction to pain and stress, and for conveying affection and support. An example is a nice back rub after a hard days work with the relaxing aroma of basil or lavender. It does not get much better than that.

If you are still not sold, you have the flicker of the candle light to set a mood or enhance the ambiance. The mind, body and soul have to be in synchronicity to maximize the health benefits. So much for so little: the aromatherapy, the clean Eco-friendly burn, the massage and all its topical benefits, and alas the glimmer of the flame.
