They consist of natural materials, but today they are extremely rare.

SOURCE OF FRAGRANCE

In order for a pleasant aroma to spread throughout the house, apartment or office, it is necessary to choose the most suitable source of accumulating the odor. An aroma lamp, scented candles or sticks can act as such.

According to the designers, scented candles are the best source of pleasant aroma and the object that creates a special atmosphere in the room. Cute different shapes and the size of a candle with your favorite scents will not only fill the room pleasant smell, but also create an unobtrusive atmosphere of comfort and warmth, soft light.

However, despite the fact that incense sticks cannot fill the room with warm light, they do not become less popular and in demand as a result. They can be successfully used in a wide variety of premises, while remaining unnoticed. You can even use incense sticks in the office to tune in to the “right wave”, recharge your batteries and spend the day with good business.

Incense sticks are one of the most convenient types of incense to use. The method for making these sticks is quite simple: a base impregnated with aromatic composition... The base can be made of wood or charcoal.
You can tell what the base of incense sticks is by their color. So, sticks, the base of which is made of coal, have a rich black color, and when burning, only the aroma with which they are impregnated will hover in the room.

If the incense sticks you purchased are brown or beige colour, then wood chips are used as their basis, which is impregnated with a special plant mass or oils and resins. Such sticks are no worse than "charcoal" ones, just when burning to the aroma of the composition with which they are impregnated, the smell of natural plants from which the base is made will be mixed.

The aroma exuded by the sticks unfolds in the same way as the scent of perfume, it unfolds gradually: the first note is the most rapidly evaporating, the second is the heart note and the third note of the aroma soaks all objects in the room for several days.

The ideal material for scented candles is natural wax, which does not smoke when burning and emits a pleasant aroma, however, most often refined paraffin, colored in the most varied colors... To add aroma, aromatic oils or waxes are added to the candle.

Flavored paraffin candles often sold together with a special candlestick or in a glass. A beautiful scented candle will be a decoration for your home or office.

CHOOSING A FRAGRANCE

In order not to be mistaken with the choice of aroma, ideally you need to familiarize yourself with the effect of certain aromas on human body... However, in order not to recycle such a large number of information, you can try to choose the most suitable fragrances for you with the help of a horoscope. If you do not believe in predictions and horoscopes, you can make a choice based on your preferences in fragrances or whether you have certain health problems.

Impulsive and energetic people, very often exposed to headaches and toothaches, viruses, colds and eye diseases, excellent aroma will do lemon, which has a powerful tonic and pronounced antiviral effect. Thanks to the inhalation of this aroma, headaches and nausea disappear, and the immune system is strengthened. They can also quite successfully use scented candles and sticks with the smells of pine, sandalwood, incense, patchouli and vanilla.

If in your life there are a lot of all sorts of "many" - a lot of work, a lot of emotions and feelings, a lot bad habits, there is a lot of fuss and various worries, and from all this your energy decays, despondency and indifference begins, jasmine will help you to relax and calm down. Inhalation of this aroma is also indicated for diseases of the throat, neck, nose and other sensory organs.

Incense sticks or candles with jasmine will help you relax, relieve stress, and increase the body's defenses. In addition, scented candles for the home (or sticks) with the smells of pine, lilac, cedar, lily of the valley and bergamot will be great helpers.

People who are worried about insomnia, allergies up to asthma attacks, nervous breakdowns and diseases of the joints of the hands, sandalwood will help alleviate the condition. This aroma will help to overcome depression and insomnia, relieve headache, unpleasant colds, will eliminate problems in the stomach.

And if you are overcome by boredom and depression after a sleepless night, a scented candle in a glass with the smell of orange, cinnamon, myrrh, vanilla and ylang-ylang will help bring the taste to life.

In our life, full of stress and anxiety, diseases of the heart and blood vessels are very common. A great scent to keep your heart healthy is a pink scent. Inhalation of the pink scent improves blood circulation, relieves nervous tension, strengthens vascular system...

Deal with intestinal problems the aroma of eucalyptus will help, it has anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects, it perfectly disinfects and deodorizes the air. You can also use cedar, orange, lemongrass, and myrrh.

When choosing candles, you need to pay attention to the wick, which must be made of natural thread, since the synthetic wick will change the aroma when burning. If you are purchasing a set of scented candles, take the trouble to check each candle separately, for integrity and the absence of chips and cracks.

We take the most common odorless, preferably wide. We light it and wait a few minutes until the wax melts around the wick and a depression appears. We blow out the fire. Choose an essential oil to your taste and pour a few drops of it into the recess on the candle. We leave the product to freeze. After we use it for its intended purpose. It is important to remember that you should not pour essential oil under a burning candle, as this can cause inflammation and an unpleasant odor.

Method number 2

Following the description below, you can make a product such as a scented candle at home. For its manufacture, you will need the following materials:

metal form;
wax (paraffin);
Scotch;
wick;
essential oil;
petrolatum;
saucepan.

Manufacturing instruction

The candle mold can be made from any tin container(tin can). It should have the form of a cylinder, a smooth structure of the walls and edges. In the bottom of the mold we make a hole through which the wick will be pulled. It can be pulled out of an ordinary candle or woven from cotton (and only this!) Thread. Melt the wax over low heat, but do not let it boil. The temperature of the paraffin mass should not exceed 60 degrees. Saturate the wick with essential oil with the desired aroma. Then we dip it in a wax liquid. After that, we hold the wick in an upright position until the shell dries on it. We stretch this blank through the hole in the mold, at the bottom from the outside we fix its tip with tape. Lubricate inner surface containers with petroleum jelly or fragrant oil... On top of it, spices can be poured onto the walls. Add essential oil to the melted wax in a saucepan (you can add several at once). The proportion of the aromatic filler from the total mass should be 10% (10 grams of oil should go per 100 grams of wax). Mix the resulting liquid and pour a small amount onto the bottom of the mold. We put the wick in a vertical position and wait until the mass hardens a little. Next, fill the container with wax completely. The scented candle should now completely solidify. The thicker it is, the longer this process will last. To make the product harden faster, after the wax has cooled, you can place it in freezer for an hour. Next, we take it out of the mold. After cooling, this happens easily. We install the candle in a candlestick or on a saucer and use it as directed. If the product was made as a gift, then arrange it in a transparent wrapping paper and tie with a ribbon. A beautiful fragrant gift is ready!

Of course, there are manufacturers who really add to their products natural oils, but these candles are very expensive. So if you have a desire to tinker a little and try yourself in candle making, you have patience and, of course, free time, this post is just for you.

Ingredients

I will try to give you the most concise and understandable instructions on how to make scented candles.

You will need:
- wax or paraffin (old candles can be used);
- essential oils of your choice;
- lace;
- scissors;
- small glass jars into which candles will be poured;
- heat-resistant ware for melting wax;
- a special thermometer for measuring the temperature of molten wax (optional);
- a thin wooden stick;
- tape measure or ruler;
— cutting board;
- nut for holding the cord.

Manufacturing

1. Wash and dry the containers in which you are going to pour candles. These can be small glass jars, tall glasses of various shapes, ceramic or porcelain cups.

2. Line a work surface with baking paper. Since the wax will be soft, it can stick to the table and be difficult to remove.

3. Break a block of wax or an old candle into small pieces - this will melt faster.

4. Now you need to prepare the candle wick - make a "seed". This will ensure that the wick matches the color of the candle, burns more slowly, and is easier to install. So, first you need to melt the wax! Overfill a small amount of small pieces wax or paraffin in a bowl and place on water bath... When the wax melts, place the wick of the desired length in there for 20-30 seconds. Then remove from bowl with tweezers and place on baking paper. Straighten the wick, align it and roll it a little on the table, as if you were making a plasticine sausage. Leave to dry for 10 minutes.

5. After the wick is dry, thread it through the nut to help hold the bottom end of the wick to the bottom of the candle. It can be found either in craft stores or borrowed from tea candles.

6. Heat the wax again, add the remaining pieces there and melt. Then add a few drops of your beloved essential oil... You can make mono scents, or you can try mixtures. For example, a few drops of cedarwood oil, a couple of drops of eucalyptus, and three drops of citrus essential oil. Stir the wax well with a wooden spatula.

7. Remove wax from heat. Pour about 1/4 of the wax into an ovenproof dish.

8. Pour some wax into the prepared candlesticks, making sure that the wick is in the middle all the time. Leave to harden for 20-25 minutes. This will help keep the wick in the middle as the candle is being poured all the way.

9. Heat the remaining wax, pour it into a heat-resistant dish and fill the candles to the end.

10. Gently screw the remaining top of the wick onto the wooden stick so that the tension is not very strong. Otherwise, you can pull the nut from the bottom and you will have to redo everything again. Attach the wick to a stick and place it over the edges of the candlestick so that the wick remains in the center of the candle.

11. When the candle has cooled completely, cut the wick so that a small tail, about 5 mm long, remains above the surface.

Trim the tail of the wick each time you use the candle. This is especially true for candles with glass candlesticks, which can burst from overheating if the wick is too long.
