Relaxation with Candles: The Science
Natural light is designed to make us feel calm and peaceful at any time of day, as opposed to harsh lights that mimic bright light to boost energy levels. A lit candle can provide a similar relaxing experience to a nighttime campfire.
A candle’s open flame soothes those in its company with its warm glow and soft glow. Meditative light increases self-awareness and has a meditative effect.
We feel physically, mentally, and emotionally different when we look at the dim light of a candle. It is because of this that candles are so effective in baths and self-care routines. With the release of happy hormones such as serotonin and dopamine, candles can even help regulate mood. In our brains, smells and scents are processed differently. Candles trigger our limbic system, which regulates emotions and memory, according to Chryssa Chalkia, a renowned psychotherapist in London.
Aromas have a calming effect
Aromas can have different effects on the mind and reduce anxiety. As a therapeutic and natural way to enhance health and well-being, essential oils have these stress-relieving properties.
Rather than using artificial fragrances and parabens that do more harm than good, our candles incorporate a combination of premium fragrances and essential oils to help you relax.

- The smell of peppermint improves memory. With all the uncertainty this past year has thrown at us, mint is a great way to reduce stress and overcome mental fatigue. This month’s box includes Avocado + Mint with notes of jasmine, neroli, and lemon peel.
- Lavender’s soothing properties make it a great addition to bedtime rituals for both mind and body. The oil can also used to relieve depression, anxiety, and headaches. The natural formula of Lavender Moon 12 ounces is free of parabens and infused with essential oils.
Our emotional well-being is influence by the connection between scents and memories. The memories associated with a scent can make us attracted to it over another, according to Chalkida.
We associate certain smells with happy, calming, or exciting memories. Even nostalgia can trigger by certain scents. You might think of an ocean view while you light a candle or eat a home-cooked meal. In instances where the same hormones are activate repeatedly in a positive way, we will usually light these candles. We also use them to scent our homes.
