We have all been told just how important it is to get a good night's sleep. However I have found that life sometimes gets in the way; work, money worries, family. All adds to our stress levels and can have a detrimental affect on our mental health. We know that our ability to cope with all these things thrown at us is a lot easier if we can have a restful night's sleep.
I found that having that space and ability to feel relaxed is super important to my wellbeing and good mental health. My son has found that shutting off the noise of thoughts rushing through is hard, this was why I started to explore if the use of essential oils could help.
Our aromatherapy candles were designed with this in mind: the use of essential oils, a sustainable non toxic candle that had a gentle footprint on the planet. We have designed our candles that target certain emotional states like stress, being un focused, disconnected or aggitated; and so "Unwind", "focus" and "Harmony" was born.
Candles can be used for creating an enchanting atmosphere or a relaxed one. they are a great source of a soft, comforting flicking light and by using their magic we can create a calm and peaceful space where we can reconnect with ourselves.
Our "unwind" candle has a powerful influence of lavender at its heart. Lavender is well known for having a lot of various health benefits, including relieving anxiety and depression.
People usually associate lavender with two specific features: its fragrance and its colour. However, did you know that the lavender flower and it's oil have a long history in herbal medicine?
The word lavender comes from the Latin root “lavare,” which literally means “to wash" and amongst a great many things lavender was used a bath additive because it was believed that it helped purify the body and mind. We have tried to harness these special properties in our candle to promote a calm, restful and tranquil space in your home so that you can benefit from their soothing and nurturing properties.
My son has found by using our "unwind" candle a couple of hours in the evening , he gains a greater sense of calm, allowing him to come down from a busy day enabling him to enjoy his evening time.
This then sets the right conditions for him to get a good nights sleep and we hope that it does the same for you.
Just remember your candle care and never go to sleep with a candle still alight so you can drift off into a well deserved peaceful nights sleep knowing that you have been good to you and the planet too!
Happy sleeping!
