Natural Botanical Candles and Wax Melts

Botanicals are plants or plant parts that are valued for their flavour, scent, therapeutic properties, and/or medicinal properties. They can be used to make essential oils for aromatherapy, be used as food and drink ingredients, and used as dietary supplements. Products made from botanicals that are used to maintain or improve health are sometimes called herbal products, botanical products, or phytomedicines. 

Most botanicals have antioxidant benefits, due to many of the plants they come from are able to thrive in direct sunlight. All of our essential oils and dried petals, buds and spices are made and dried from natural plants. Botanical essential oils have been used in aromatherapy for centuries as a source of medicine and nutrition. They  are thought to have a variety of health benefits and can help provide calm and relief from anxiety. When essential oils are inhaled, the scent molecules in the essential oils, travel to the brain through the olfactory nerve. Whilst these nerves are being stimulated by the scent molecules, and impacting the amygdala - the emotional center of the brain, this can help improve mood, relieve stress and anxiety, and help with other conditions.
