Aromatherapy & Candles
Their Color Properties: Fragrant
Candles. Choose which essential oil to use not only for its fragrance
but for its other effects Use relaxing essential oils for that special
evening for two, stimulating ones to get the conversation going during the
pre-dinner drinks, and soothing ones with the after dinner brandy. Later
still you may want to bring out the aromatic candles. All the essential oil
candles have a very subtle effect and are not overpowering like the chemical
candle fragrances. The ultimate in hostess attentiveness must be
coordinating the fragrance of your candles with the color of your candles
and decor. Try putting a relaxing candle next to the person who always hogs
the conversation and a stimulating one next to the introverted guest.
Candles, determined by the color, can used to help to influence a particular
emotion, concept and/or personal desire. For your convenience, I have
provided a list of colors and the affect they I have used for myself and
