Diffusers

Diffusers provide instant fragrance freshness for places like kitchens, bathrooms or
offices and other spaces where candles may not be suitable. Diffusers are clean, easy to use, have a strong fragrance, include unique appliqué designs and meet strict air quality regulations.

FAQ

What makes Diffusers so unique?

Diffusers offer highly concentrated fragrances that can be enjoyed for three to five months! The quality of fragrance is enhanced with patent-pending sticks that provide a clean, strong fragrance throw and consume the concentrated fragrance oil down to the last drop. Lastly, the Diffuser can beautify any home with two appliqué designs.

Will the strength of the fragrance remain the same during the entire 3-5 month period?

Once the sticks have reached optimum absorption, between 24-48 hours, you can rest assured knowing that all fragrances will remain strong until the last drop of fragrance is used.

Can I control the strength of the fragrance throw?

The best way to control the amount of fragrance experienced is to adjust the number of sticks being used in the decorative glass bottle. Each Diffuser is tested using 12sticks, which will perform at our standards for fragrance strength. If the fragrance is too strong, adjust the fragrance by eliminating sticks until the ideal fragrance is experienced.

Why would my Diffuser use up the fragrance quicker than the 3-5 months advertised?

There are many environmental factors that will contribute to the duration of the fragrance experience. Excessive drafts, high temperatures and very dry or humid conditions are all potential factors as well as the number of times the sticks are flipped. In a stable room environment, the Diffusers have been tested to last 3-5 months.

How often should I flip my Diffuser sticks?

It is not necessary to flip the sticks in order to maintain a strong fragrance throw. However, it is an optional feature. The Diffuser sticks can be flipped as much or as little as desired. Please note, the more the sticks are flipped, the quicker the use-up rate may be.

My sticks are becoming discolored; is this normal?

Yes, this is a normal feature of the Diffusers. Yellow- or amber-colored spots on the sticks may occur as a result of the type of concentrated fragrance oil being absorbed.

Aromatherapy Candles

Many of us depend on quick fixes for the blues. Ice Cream, a favorite movie, or hibernating in bed all day seem to get the job done. Unfortunately, the remedies we often use to help us feel better only work in the short term. And even more importantly, these quick fixes can sometimes make you feel worse than you did before you reached for that entire cheesecake!

If you really want to lift your spirits - and benefit your body at the same time - consider something as simple as lighting an aromatherapy candle. There are scents that offer the right solution for just about any situation and there is also the added benefit of how aromatherapy candles leave your room smelling.

If you're thinking that this sounds too good to be true, here are some interesting facts about the results achieved with aromatherapy candles that you may not know about:

Ancient Beginnings

Aromatherapy candles, just like most aromatherapy products, gain their power from essential oils mixed with other natural ingredients. Essential oils come from the fragrant essence of plants. The actual oil is obtained by steam distillation, extraction or mechanical removal from the plant. Depending on the oil, the plant roots, buds, leaves, or flower petals may be used. These same essential oils have been used since ancient times in aromatherapy candles, cooking flavorings, incense, spiritual ceremonies and natural healing.

Inner Joy

Today, the majority of aromatherapy candles are made with hand-poured essential oils and organic soy waxes to create a candle that, when lit, can actually transport you to tranquility. Depending on what your goal is, you would choose a scent that would allow you to achieve and balance a specific mood.

For example, you could use a rich lavender scent to unwind or an orange aromatherapy candle to rejuvenate you. Here are some other examples:

Cinnamon: exhaustion

Eucalyptus: colds, coughing

Ginger: nausea

Jasmine: depression, exhaustion, labor pains

Rose: stress, depression

Spearmint: headache, exhaustion

Ylang Ylang: depression, stress, frigidity

The list is endless and can assist you with whatever you may be dealing with at the time.

Mood Lighting

While most people recognize candles as symbols of romance, have you considered lighting an aromatherapy candle or two to enhance the mood even more? It's a great way to excite both of your senses on all levels. Aromatherapy candles can be used to enhance a romantic dinner or they can accompany a sensual soak in the tub. Either (or both) is a great way to connect both spiritually and physically with your significant other.

We all agree that candles set the mood for celebration. Lighting a candle to acknowledge a birthday, communion, or a marriage union breathes life into the moment.

Aromatherapy Candle Care

To make your aromatherapy candle use enjoyable and safe, keep these closing tips in mind:

- The best way to burn a candle is to trim the candle wick to 1/4".

- If you burn your candle for only a few minutes at a time, the wax will create a small hole in the core of the candle and the flame will lose oxygen, causing the candle to burn poorly or not at all. Minimum of 4 hours is best, make sure the entire top layer of wax has melted before extinguishing.

- Never leave a flame unattended.

- Always keep burning candles away from children and pets.

- Never burn a candle in a drafty or breezy area.

- Always use a candle holder and place the candle and holder on a protected, nonflammable surface.
