Essential oils for candles

One of the best ways to enjoy the properties of essential oils is through massage candles, which will allow you to relax the body and mind. In Gran Velada you will find essential oils for candles. They are of good quality and with them you can make your own massage candles loaded with benefits.

Making them at home is simpler than it may seem. You just have to melt the chosen natural wax and butter and add vegetable oils. When the temperature has dropped, add the essential oil. It is advisable that the proportion does not exceed 1%, since they are very concentrated. Let cool, place the wick and wait for it to solidify completely. The massage candle will be ready to use.

To enjoy all the properties of essential oils you just have to light the candle and leave it lit for a few minutes. Little by little it will give off a pleasant aroma that will help you release tensions. Once it has become liquid, you can pour the oils on the body. Do not be afraid to burn, since the waxes used for these candles have a low melting point, therefore the oil will be hot but will not burn. Normally, it is around 40ºC.

Essential oils will fill your massage candles with properties. Depending on the benefits you want to obtain, you must opt for one or the other. They are ideal for releasing tension, saying goodbye to stress and relaxing. For example, you can add essential oil of lavender, bergamot, ylang ylang, marjoram, neroli, rosewood, chamomile or petit grain. All of them are recommended for stress relief, as they are relaxing and relieving.

The application of essential oils in the form of massage on the skin has two benefits: on the one hand you take advantage of their properties, while their fragrance will achieve, through aromatherapy, improve the physical and psychological state of the person receiving the massage.
