These candles are all natural, made with plant waxes or beeswax. They contain no toxic petroleum products or chemical additives. The scent comes from pure, natural essential oils. Choosing your mood is as easy as choosing a candle. Choose soothing, relaxing, uplifting or exotic escapism.

More Ways to Use Essential Oils
Essential oils can be mixed into personal body spray, room sprays, body and bath oil and bath salt.

Aromatherapy bath salts, will essential oils of lavender and peppermint, relieve pain and stiffness. Chamomile relaxes deeply and eucalyptus is great for colds and congestion.
Aromatherapy Lavender Laundry Rinse

Harsh chemicals take after natures cleaners, but they do not do it as well. Instead of furniture polish with lemon, why not use real lemon - not juice, but oil. Instead of orange glow, use real orange oil. Instead of pine cleaner with detergents, use real pine. The real things lack the toxic chemical odor and give your home a pleasant, uplifting, fresh scent.
