Found this on a blog called Homespum With Love. This looks like a wonderful idea for another use of our oils. http://homespunwithlove.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/make-your-own-lemon-lavender.html
Make Your Own Lemon LavenderAromatherapy Candle
- How can one not love the scent, never mind the taste of lemon and lavender. Whether you are baking and enjoying the scents or burning a fragrant aromatherapy candle, it is pure joy!
We have found a wealth of knowledge on aromatherapy, essential oils and recipes using essential oils from the
Aromahead Blog.
Such things as this recipe for making a
beeswax aromatherapy candle.
- Lemon Lavender Aromatherapy Candle
Ingredients
Beeswax (6-8 oz)
Essential Oil (I used 2 ml patchouli and 2 ml vetiver)
4 oz glass jar
1 wick
A set of chop sticks
Pyrex measuring cup
Small soup pot
10 ml graduated cylinder (optional)
Instructions
Measure 6 oz. of beeswax (1 and 1/2 jar full). If you want the candle to fill right to the top use 8 oz. (2 jars full).
Wipe your Pyrex cup with jojoba.
Melt the beeswax in the Pyrex (see video for details).
Place the wick in the jar using the chop sticks shown in the video.
Measure your essential oil.
Once the beeswax is melted, add the essential oil to the beeswax and stir.
Pour slowly into the glass jar so to not disturb the wick.
Allow it to solidify for several hours before burning.
- You might call the combination of Lemon and Lavender a bit of Yin and Yang. Or you just might call it delightful.
- Lemon and lavender and two beautiful scents of Summer. And when Summer has slowly begun to turn into Fall, and you want to bring back a little of Summer, having a lovely scented Lemon Lavender aromatherapy candle to light will delight your senses.
- The ways to incorporate candles into our lives are endless.Place this candle in the kitchen and burn it in the morning as you sip a relaxing cup of tea. Burn it during quiet time devotions or Bible reading. Simply burn and enjoy
