𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐬 🕯 If these excite you, we need to talk. ⁣ ⁣ Just two years ago you would have seen my entire home covered with them. Then i learned some freaking scary info on what crazy-scary “top secret” ingredients are lurking inside!⁣ ⁣ One word, fragrance. ⁣ ⁣ The word fragrance can hide a combination of up to 300+ chemicals that companies engineer in creating those scents. YUCK!⁣ ⁣ Companies do not have to even disclose those chemicals to the consumer because it’s protected as trade secret. ⁣ ⁣ Throw in candles with those fragrances and it’s even worse:⁣ - smoke coming from a candle is laced with as many toxins as second hand smoke⁣ - the soot from candles is found to contain lead, zinc, tin etc. making it damaging for our respiratory systems⁣ - and if THAT didn’t convince you yet, cheaper candles mainly from big box stores, are often made of paraffin wax which is a by-product of the petroleum industry⁣ ⁣ So why diffuse instead? ⁣ ⁣ Tests have shown that when an essential oils is inhaled, it can reach the heart, liver, and lungs within 𝟹 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘴! The scent of essential oils can stimulate brain pathways, including our limbs system, which is connected to our emotional response and memories. Studies using electroencephalography (EEG), which measures brain waves, and brain imaging using functional magnetic resonances imaging (fMRI) show significant changes during aromatherapy consisted with its relaxing effects. ⁣ ⁣ Thieves specifically has been studied for its ability to combat airborne microorganisms with reducing upwards of 96% airborne YUCK within 10 minutes. ⁣ ⁣ I tossed all my toxic candles and fake fragrances and never looked back! Diffusing is SO fun and you can re-create just about any of your favorite candle scents!⁣ ⁣ My challenge for you:⁣ - Ditch those candles and plugins⁣ - Grab your Premium Starter kit which includes your choice of diffuser to set up and replace those candles⁣ - If you already have your kit, share your favorite Fall blends below! http://liketk.it/32D5E liketkit @liketoknow.it fallwellness fallcandles
