Get to know our best-selling candles through their aromatherapy benefits. Our candles use a mix of essential oils and fragrance oils for optimal scent throw and benefits, while providing a clean and long-lasting burn. Although fragrance oils do not provide any therapeutic benefits, essential oils offer a multitude from boosting mood to easing stress. We’ll take a closer look at our most popular La Lueur candles and the benefits of each scent.

What are the Benefits of Essential Oils in Candles?

1. Increased Energy Levels: Essential oils are known for their energizing and stimulating properties. Using essential oils can help to boost energy levels, stimulate the mind, and increase concentration. 

2. Improved Mood and Reduce Stress: Essential oils can be used to relax the body and mind, making them a great natural remedy for reducing stress and anxiety. Studies have shown that using essential oils such as lavender, lemon, and chamomile can help to improve mood and reduce feelings of stress.

3. Supports Immune System: Essential oils are packed with antioxidants, which can help to protect the body from harmful toxins and keep the immune system strong. By using essential oils regularly, you can reduce your risk of getting colds and the flu.

4. Fights Inflammation: Essential oils can be used to reduce inflammation in the body, which can help to alleviate pain and discomfort associated with arthritis, muscle and joint pain, and other chronic conditions.

5. Improves Sleep Quality: Essential oils can help to relax the mind and body, which can in turn improve sleep quality. Studies have shown that essential oils such as lavender, chamomile, and clary sage can help to reduce insomnia and even provide relief from stress-related sleep issues.
