Lavender Lavender can have a big impact on easing stress and tension. I suffer from allot of stress related headaches. The scent of lavender helps to ease my tension and lift my mood. The sweet smell of lavender aromatherapy for stress is calming and rejuvenates your soul. Our bodies can only take so much stress and tension before we begin to overload.
Vanilla Vanilla is the most common scent on the market today. A large percent of the population refers to vanilla as being their scent of choice. I find the scent of vanilla very calming and relaxing. It reminds me of french toast. My mother always put vanilla in her eggs when she made french toast. It made the whole kitchen smell like vanilla. Vanilla blends well with many other essential oils.
Sandalwood One of the main benefits of using sandalwood is it's ability to calm the nervous system. It has a warm inviting woodsy scent with balsamic undertones. It can lower your stress level and rejuvenate your spirit. Sandalwood will ease your worries, reduce your tension and calm your stressed out mind. Sandalwood aromatherapy for stress can do wonders for relaxation. You can even get relief from Fibromyalgia while using this scent.

Lemon Lemon fragrance can improve your mental and emotional well being. It lifts your mood and eases stress with a zesty aroma. It will help decrease your stress and increase your energy level.
Chamomile Chamomile has been used for many years for it's calming effects. The smell is sweet and kind of smells like apples. The relaxing aroma will soothe your mind and body. Chamomile is very good for dealing with the hormonal and emotional changes associated with pms and menopause. Chamomile can be excellent aromatherapy for stress.
Patchouli Patchouli has a heady musky deep aroma. People often think of the 60's when they smell patchouli. It was used by some to mask some very strong odors. It's a very deep, intoxicating, exotic aroma. This strong sensual scent has a calming effect yet stimulates you in other areas. It's also used as an aphrodisiac! Some people might find the scent a bit strong while others may find it more sensual.
Rose The sweet smell of rose has been around for many years inspiring romance and tranquility. Rose has a way of calming your tension and easing stress. It naturally has a strong floral scent. This is my favorite flower and I love the aromatherapy scent as well. The scent is obtained from the petals and it takes allot of them just to make an ounce. With this in mind you won't be surprised to find it's a rather expensive essential oil.
Cinnamon Cinnamon is a very strong smelling essential oil. It has a very strong spicy aroma. It has the ability to stimulate your senses and restore a calm balance to your stressed out mind. This is a favorite of mine around the holidays. The holiday season can be a stressful time for many people. Some soy candles with cinnamon essential oil in them can come in handy at this time of the year!
Geranium When I first heard about geranium essential oil I thought yuck! I love the geranium plants I get at my local nursery. But the smell of the leaves are rather stinky! I use the plants as bug repellents. Flies really hate the smell of the leaves. I thought the geranium oil would smell awful like the plants I have. It doesn't though. The essential oil is taken from the rose like geranium. It even has a similarity to rose oil in it's fragrance. Many people resort to using geranium oil because it's so much cheaper than the rose oil. Geranium essential oil can help you find inner peace, soothe your troubled mind and help you find a calming inner balance. Geranium is excellent aromatherapy for stress.
When you can't get away from the stress take a short vacation with a natural soy candle that contains anyone of these magnifiscent essential oils.
While you enjoy your soy candles please be responsible and keep them out of the reach of children and pets.
