Healthy Alternative to candles

I love the smell of candles burning in my home this time of year,  but I don’t like the toxic chemicals that come with them. Conventional candles can contain benzene and toluene in the sooty residue. Benzene is cancer-causing and toluene affects the central nervous system. These are just two of the many possible toxins in candles. 🙁

At first I thought getting candles out of my house was a bit extreme. However,  the more I heard about the negative effects the more motivated I became to make the switch.  I will admit it was really hard to see all those Yankee Candle jars and votives go to the wayside. Especially since I had accumulated quite a few from the end of season clearance sales last year.

Using an ultrasonic diffuser and essential oils is a great healthy alternative to candles. This allows you to still have an amazing smelling home plus you get the added benefits using essential oils brings.  To learn how essential oils support your overall health, visit my page dedicated to Essential Oils and their Benefits.

The best part is there are endless diffuser blend combinations!
