These essential oils have the possibility to trigger parts of your brain, which in turn sends signals to your body. It’s in this way that candles can help you to relax, lower stress levels and boost your mood.

Scents which bring about feelings of relaxation and indulgence include mint, sandalwood, green tea, lavender, and chamomile. Calming scents can be a great enhancer to relaxing and healthy activities such as yoga and pilates.
