Today is Christmas – Merry Christmas to you and yours!
We’re enjoying this day to spend time with family and friends, and we hope you are doing the same.
This is the last of our 12 days of Holiday Diffuser Blends – we have had fun sharing some of our holiday favorites. All of these diffuser blends can easily replace your holiday candles – please, toss them out!
One of the areas that some people struggle with is getting rid of the toxic cleaning products they use, not to mention scented candles, warmers, air fresheners, and wall plug-ins. Those beautiful, and sometimes expensive candles can be amazing – sure, they can. But they are also very icky to have around, too.
Most (not all) candles are made from paraffin wax. Paraffin is a petroleum waste product – not only does it give off toxic fumes from burning a candle, paraffin in itself is a waste product. The wax is chemically bleached and deodorized. At that point it’s made into wax.
Paraffin is actually the final byproduct in the refining chain of petroleum. (source)
In 2001, the EPA concluded that burning paraffin candles releases large amounts of toxins in the air that are above the excess cancer risk (source). Then in 20015, the American Lung Association gave out letters to the public warning of the dangers of paraffin – but the National Candle Association (NCA) threatened them with legal action for trying to warn the public.
The point of telling you this?
Just diffuse. It’s better. Cheaper. And easier. Not to mention it benefits the immune system.
Cinnamon Bark:
Cinnamon Bark has a hot and spicy fragrance that is said to unlock feelings of abundance. It’s wonderful for supporting healthy emotions. It also supports healthy circulation and provides support to the immune system.
Orange Essential Oil:
Orange essential oil, cold-pressed from the rinds of oranges, has a juicy aroma reminiscent of the fresh fruit. Orange oil offers a sweet, peaceful aroma that can fill a room with a sense of peace, harmony, and creativity. Orange Essential Oil can help support a healthy mood and feelings. Orange Vitality is wonderful for supporting a healthy colon when added to your water.
Wintergreen:
Wintergreen’s refreshing minty aroma is stimulating and invigorating. It’s a great addition to lotions that are applied after activity. It’s wonderful for supporting healthy muscles, joints and includes the naturally occurring constituent methyl salicylate.
Essential Oils aren’t just for smell – they can support your wellness in ways that Western Medicine cannot. They can support a healthy immune system, provide support with hormones (male and female), thyroid and respiratory support, help you sleep better and more.
