What Has Your Candle Holder/Candle Done For You Lately? The benefits of Pink Himalayan Salt and Beeswax...

Posted by

Did you know that candles and candle holders not only provide a great ambiance, but can also help clean and detoxify the air and make you fell better? Now, we’re not talking about just any candle holder and certainly not just any candle.

For instance, most candles in the marketplace today are made with paraffin wax, a petroleum by-product, which is filled with toxins. On top of that, many of these candles also contain synthetic scents created to match some well loved scents, most of which can be found in nature ie. cinnamon, jasmine, etc... or various blends. When these candles are lit and heat up, they release these toxins into the air where they can be inhaled . But when a beeswax candle is lit, it’s a whole different story.

Beeswax is considered the cleanest and longest burning fuel and when lit, emits something called negative ions. Science has proven that anything floating in the air is positively charged. This includes all toxins, pollens, dust, molds, bacteria, viruses etc... and these are substances we can breath in. Due to the “opposites attract” law, these negative ions released by beeswax candles are then able to attach themselves to the positively charged matter floating in the air. Once attached, they become too heavy to stay in the air, and they fall to the ground where they can no longer be inhaled. Science has also found that negative ions can help with mood, stress and breathing, although the best way to gain significant exposure is by being outside in nature, especially barefoot [but that’s another post ;)].

The principle is similar with our candle holders. But again, we’re not talking about just any candle holders, we are talking about Pink Himalayan Salt Candle Holders. Pink Himalayan Salt has a crystalline structure and when the salt crystals are exposed to heat, which then combines with the moisture in the air, they create negative ions. These negative ions are then able to bind with the positively charged, often toxic particles floating in the air. Once again, these particles become too heavy to continue floating and fall to the ground.

So, pairing the Pink Himalayan Salt Candle Holders with Beeswax Candles increases this “feel good” negative ion power. Not only can you beautify your space and get a great ambiance, but you also get the additional benefit of cleaner air. It is this negative ion power that’s the reason behind the increasing popularity of salt caves, the latest in spa treatments.

These candle holders are a recent addition to Fresh Unlimited. They come in a set of 3 spherical Pink Himalayan Salt Candle Holders with 3 beeswax tealight candles.
