Don't You Love Candles

Let's chat for a bit about candles.

Are you aware of some of the toxins that are released by burning candles???

The burning of candles can release things like formaldehyde & limonene that are considered hazardous. They have been linked to causing dizziness, allergies, asthma and cancer!

Fragrance oils mostly contain phthalates which aggravate allergies, asthma and alter hormone levels. Are your hormones out of whack? Burning candles may be a contributor! These phthalates may also cause damage to your lungs, kidneys and reproductive systems!

If you're burning candles with a wick containing heavy metals, like lead, this will cause hormone disruption, as well as learning and mental health problems!

THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES!

There are some really good soy and beeswax candles available, just know your source so that you can check on the fragrance used (hopefully from essential oils!) and the type of wick they chose to make sure you're avoiding inhaling heavy metals.

I prefer the use of a diffuser! You can safely leave this running without risk of fire, many diffusers can last 6-8 hours or more, and diffusing DōTERRA Essentials Oils also gives you the assurance of purity & quality that you're breathing in! This means zero risk to your lungs and other vital organs and no more hormone disruptions!🎉

Go here to grab your stash of oils to start diffusing! Many of these not only protect you and your family, but they also have medicinal benefits as well!🎉
