jaxxcandles Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Well, I was visiting relatives over the weekend and talking candles. My sister-in-law was telling me about someone (out of state from us) that makes candles and for health reasons or whatever, makes "homeopathic" candles. I asked her if they meant all natural or what and she said she wasn't sure. So my question is, has anyone heard the term homeopathic when it comes to candles and what does that translate to? I am curious.Thanks!Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy, USMC Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Just did a quick Bing search and came up with this link: http://www.longlifeunlimited.com/product.sc;jsessionid=8D25C241E4ABFBAAECDB2D0AEA73012D.qscstrfrnt04?productId=278&categoryId=28Looks like these particular "homeopathic" candles are beeswax for ear candling. Didn't find anything else using that search engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminousBoutique Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 well, homeopathic just means alternative medicine... so I wonder if it refers to candles like sinus candles... or say, lavender and chamomile to make you calm, grapefruit to wake you up... spearmint to clear your airways....and yes, beeswax candles they use for ear candeling... otherwise i have no clue!!

EricofAZ Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 (edited) Sounds like my blood pressure candle. Ylang Ylang, Bulgarian Lavender, and Clary Sage with a few drops of Lemon and Orange. And since I burn it in the evening after work, some Valerian Root. All pure genuine EO's. Seems to be best in GG Palm.Edit: I think it is pretty common knowledge that aromatherapy candles are generally FO's not EO's (given the price) so a name change to reflect real EO's is about time. Not sure if that is what you are seeing, but I probably won't release any EO candles as "aromatherapy" given the high rate of abuse.

jaxxcandles Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 Thanks for your input! I'll let you know if I find out this other company's definition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricofAZ Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Well, keep in mind that EO's are expensive, even wholesale. My BP candle with one ounce of the swill above costs about $10 just for the EO and if I use anything like chamomile or some other more exotic EO's, the price shoots up into the high double digits.
