Peppermint Scented Candle

Product Information

Pine oil is another lesser-known essential oil that repels insects and can be added to candles. Although it’s effect to keep insects away is weaker than that of citronella and lemongrass, it is still worth considering to choose this, because unlike with the Far Eastern herbs, it can be produced in North America and Europe, so the transport route will be much shorter, which reduces our carbon footprint. Lavender Again, peppermint candles emanate the scent of peppermint oil to help relieve head pains and muscle pains in the human body. And it also helps to reduce any nauseatic sensation, meaning that the person feels like vomiting all of a sudden. But there is another benefit of peppermint oil candle which when placed within a distance can also help to relieve sinus congestion in the nose. The lemon eucalyptus (or lemon-scented eucalyptus, also known as Vietnamese eucalyptus) is a fast-growing evergreen tree from Australia. The essential oil made from the leaves of the plant is excellent for keeping flies, mosquitoes and mites away. Apart from sometimes being difficult to obtain, one of the main disadvantages of lemon eucalyptus extract is that it attracts bees. For this reason, using candles scented with this oil is not the best idea for a garden barbecue. It is much better to use the pleasantly scented extract in an urban environment where mosquitoes are present but bees are absent.

Citronella (not to be confused with lemongrass) is a herb that has a long history of use as a bug repellent. It is the extract from which most commercially available candles advertised as insect repellents are made. When buying a candle infused with citronella, it is always worth paying attention to the wax from which the candle is made: the higher the melting point of the material, the more effective it will be in dispersing insect-repellent fragrances. For this reason, most citronella candles are made from paraffin wax, which has a relatively high melting point and, although its adverse health effects have not been scientifically proven, its harmful effects on the environment are undeniable. For this reason, a candle made from natural wax or a natural candle "flavoured" with citronella extract can be a good alternative. Lemongrass grows in Cambodia, Vietnam and in Thailand, in addition to the rain-fed areas of Southern India. In these areas it is an essential spice in local cuisine. The refreshing, soothing oil is extracted from the stems and leaves of the plant. It is often confused with citronella because of their similar appearance and main uses, but it is worth noting that lemongrass has a much stronger bug repellent effect than citronella. Pine
