quietgirl2004 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 OK I need some input here. Which in your opinion is better for cold and sinus candles? And if something else, what do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I don't know anything about those scents listed. I make my own unique blend (it has a touch of real vicks vapor rub + other FO's) that smells just like a Halls cough drop and when used in wax melts has a healing effect on colds & sinus. When made into a candle it has the smell but not the healing effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindy5140 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I use NGs but like Candle man said it has the smell but doesn't have the healing effects.Mindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire and Ice Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I use the E/O of Eucalyptus in my candles and they fly off the shelves so fast that I can barely keep up with orders. They're VERY popular this time of year! Fire:cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I mix Vick's and other FO's and only make them in wickless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnS Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I wanted to try Vicks from The Candle Source but havent yet.Good idea for the wickless.Someone with a cold does not need a burning candle.IMO.Learned that after my husband was sick a couple weeks ago with pneumonia.We had no idea.Ran a fever, weak and trouble breathing.NO cold symptons at all.Best to be safe.Eucalyptus sounds safe and healing.

Di_in_AZ Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I use a blend of Eucalyptus, Camphor, I think peppermint and Tea Tree. Not in that order I have the recipe on my other computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol k Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 i have used both the vicks type scents from ng & the candle source and they both smell like vicks. i sell alot of tarts and electric candle/tart warmers for use at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quietgirl2004 Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 OK Help me out here. Camphor, are you talking pure oil, melted balm or what medium are you using for this? And where do you usually get it? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
