Aromatherapy & CandlesTheir Color Properties: Fragrant Candles. Choose which essential oil to use not

only for its fragrance but for its other effects Use relaxing essential oils for that special evening for two, stimulating ones to get the conversation going during the pre-dinner drinks, and soothing ones with the after dinner brandy. Later still you may want to bring out the aromatic candles. All the essential oil candles have a

very subtle effect and are not overpowering like the chemical candle fragrances.  The ultimate in hostess attentiveness must be coordinating the fragrance of your candles with the color of your candles and decor. Try putting a relaxing candle

next to the person who always hogs the conversation and a stimulating one next to the introverted guest.

eliminates therapeutically important minor constituents. Rectified oil is decongesting but it is harsh on the bronchial muscles, sometimes causing

constriction.Our Eucalyptus is not medicinal smelling at all and is much softer than others on the market.

Eucalyptus as it has a pleasant smell and is easily assimilated. It has many of the same uses as Eucalyptus Globulus but it is milder in its chemical composition and gentler in action. Despite its mild chemical composition, it is highly anti-

bacterial and anti-viral. Eucalyptus Radiata has been proven effective in laboratory tests against many viruses, including staphylococci. It is also a

powerful decongestant: in chronic and acute bronchitis it reduces the swelling of mucus membranes, loosens phlegm and increases the oxygen supply to

restricted cells.
