Paraffin candles are the most commonly burned candles but
they are also the most dangerous to our health.
Paraffin is an inexpensive sludge waste product that is derived from
petroleum. It is bleached then
texturized with carcinogenic substances.
Once
burned, paraffin candles release toxins into the air that are known as carcinogens.
These toxins are then inhaled by anyone in the same room and linger in the
areas that they are burned in. In addition, their soot leaves a residue on
walls, discoloring fabrics and ceilings. In fact, soot from paraffin
candles contain many of the same toxins found in diesel fuel. What most people don’t know is that paraffin
candles are as dangerous to the lungs as second-hand cigarette smoke.
Beeswax candles, on the other hand, are
good for the air and give off a natural, honey fragrance while providing a
longer, cleaner burn than candles made with other types of wax. Beeswax candles may be more expensive than
other types of candles, but they last twice as long as soy candles and three
times longer than paraffin candles. When beeswax candles burn, they clean the air like a natural
air purifier. This is because beeswax candles give off negative ions that help
concentration and clean the air. They are also non-allergenic and can
help soothe the symptoms of hay fever, asthma and environmental allergies.
Air contains billions of
electrically charged particles called ions, which act upon our capacity to
absorb and utilize oxygen. The ions in
the air can affect our mood, energy and health. Negative ions actually feel
good. Too many positive ions make us feel bad and contain pollution and
allergens. Negative ions remove the pollution and allergens from positive ions,
allowing them to drop harmlessly to the ground. This process cleans the air of dust, odors,
toxins, pollen, mold, dust mites feces and viruses. This is especially beneficial
for people who have allergies and other environmental sensitivities.
Individuals
with allergies, sinus problems and asthma have reported a significant
improvement in their symptoms, breathing better and sleeping better after
burning beeswax candles in their bedroom for 3-4 hours before bedtime. Benefits
of beeswax candles are as follows:
- 100% All-Natural

- No Soot
- Non-Toxic
- Non-Carcinogenic
- Anti-Allergenic
- Relieves Stress
- Emits air-purifying, negative ions
