Scented candles come in various fragrances, offering a plethora of choices to match the personality and preferences of individuals. From refreshing lemongrass, citrus, and minty scents to woody, herbal warmth, rustic, or the soothing sweetness of rose, jasmine, and lavender.
Each fragrance not only induces different relaxation sensations but also reflects the personality traits of each individual.

Utilizing candles to strengthen relationships
Candles will add a romantic touch to your dinner scene. Placing 2 candles in the romance corner (Southwest) will strengthen your current relationship. The candlelight reflecting on the wall and its shadows stimulate imagination, prompting meaningful conversations.
To strengthen relationships, consider using pink candles. They can bring wonderful emotions, just remember to extinguish them before sleeping.
The scent of candles aids relaxation and uplifts mood.
Prioritize candles made with natural ingredients, ensuring they don't harm your home environment. Check the label for the type of fragrance oil used. If it's natural oil, it can be used for relaxation and mood enhancement.

Taboos Related to Candles
Candles enhance your purity and inspiration, warming up your energy and helping to release daily tensions. However, don't forget about the taboos:
- Married couples should avoid lighting candles in the bedroom, especially white ones.
- Candles should only be used for a short period of time rather than regularly, especially scented candles.
- Avoid using candles in enclosed spaces as it prevents air exchange with the outside, leading to the emission of chemicals that can pollute the air, increasing the risk of asthma, eczema, and skin diseases.
- Burning a high-quality candle in your bedroom for about 15 minutes before sleeping can alter the energy and contribute to a better night's sleep. Avoid leaving it for too long because sleeping with a burning candle is akin to a clinical death state. Lighting a candle while sleeping is reminiscent of lighting it for the deceased, hence it's advisable not to burn candles while sleeping.
