While we are all in lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, the world is currently a very anxious and fearful place. Naturally, we’re all anxious about the unknown and it can be hard to relax and let go of all our worries when they feel so overwhelming.
At Anatoli Wellness, we always love sharing the best ways to reduce anxiety and destress. We’ve long spoken about our love of aromatherapy and all it’s benefits, so when Scentered reached out, we were beyond excited.
Scentered are an aromatherapy brand from the UK, and we were fortunate enough to receive their De-Stress Candle from their range. In this blog post, we’ll be reviewing the candle while also discussing the benefits of aromatherapy to de-stress.
The De-Stress candle is made from made from a custom blend of natural waxes, sustainably sourced and non-GM, with pure essentials oils. The main three essential oils used in the De-Stress candle are chamomile, neroli and mandarin. Let’s look at the benefits of these different essential oils.
Chamomile
Chamomile is great for reducing anxiety and promoting a restful nights sleep. Having chamomile near your bed before you sleep is a wonderful hack for falling asleep quickly.
Neroli
Neroli has many benefits, including those similar to chamomile, such as anxiety relief and insomnia. It is also said to relieve symptoms of a cold, reduce headache and lower blood pressure.
Mandarin
Mandarin oil is great for anxiety reduction, insomnia and high blood pressure. It’s a super uplifting scent, so can also improve mood and boost positivity!
When we opened up our Scentered gift, we were blown away! The lovely green colour box that the candle comes in is such an elegant and sophisticated touch that showed the quality of the product from the outset.
We love the mix of essential oils in the candle too – they make for such a beautiful, relaxing and rich scent. A lot of the time, we find candles can be lacklustre in scent, especially after a few burns. But even after a week of burning, the De-Stress candle retained it’s lovely scent. The neroli in particular is so soothing and comforting, and the mandarin is great for boosting positivity.
We’re always looking for ways to make our space feel more zen and spa-like and the addition of this candle has truly made our space feel like a zen, relaxation room that you’d find in a spa. As we’re all at home now, it is the perfect time to invest in a beautiful candle that makes our homes smell amazing while also benefitting our mental health.
We would definitely recommend purchasing the Scentered De-Stress candle if you are looking for ways to make your home a relaxing sanctuary during this anxious time. We are so excited to see what Scentered do next!
