Using 100% pure essential oils has excellent benefits to our health and #wellbeing. They make perfect massage oils and help create a natural relaxing environment for #Meditation and #Yoga. Plants for years have offered us healing benefits; that’s what makes them so unique.
What is an Essential Oil?
When a plant's essence, or pure fragrance, is extracted, it becomes locked within its own natural, essential oil.
For nearly 800 years, we’ve used essential oils to preserve beautiful fragrances to indulge our senses, and today they’re most commonly used in flavourings, soaps and cosmetics, perfumes, aromatherapy and scented candles.
What is a Synthetic Fragrance?
These days, many fragrances are synthesised in laboratories to recreate the delicate aromas of nature that we savour so much. Despite best efforts, synthetic fragrances often fail to recreate the experience, and it seems none can compete with pure essential oils.
Synthetic fragrances were developed to provide consumers with cheaper alternatives to the fragrances we love. Still, sadly, many are manufactured using the same petroleum we use to drive our cars.
Here are just some of the benefits of using pure essential oils to help you in your everyday life;
Relax your body and mind.
Help relieve stress and anxiety.
Promoting restful sleep.
Helps to boost moods.
Improving memory and focus.
Clearing the sinuses.
Helping with digestion.
Helps to smooth mild headaches.
Relieves aches and pains.
The difference between natural essential oils and ‘fake’ alternatives
The chemical components of our favourite essential oils are difficult to reproduce synthetically. So while you find something that smells like natural lavender oil, it won’t have half the benefits of the real thing.
We favour pure essential oils over other synthetic scents because they’re all natural and free from nasties. Unlike some synthetic scents, our essential oils are free of aromatic compounds – called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) – which have been linked with diseases like cancer.
Another benefit of essential oils over other fragrance oils is their use in aromatherapy. Full of therapeutic properties, essential oils not only make scented #candles, body products, and soaps smell good, but they also make them practical. As well as making you and your home smell nice, essential oils can help one de-stress, become more productive, or even enhance the texture or composition of one’s skin.
At melt, you can be assured you’re receiving a clean burning candle that’s 100% natural. We only use pure essential oils in our #candles to ensure you receive all the benefits you deserve from your favourite scent.
