How do candles help signal your body to relax?
Lighting a candle with a calming fragrance becomes a sleep ritual — signaling your brain that it's time to slow down. The scent, warmth, and flame together create a sensory experience that:
-
Reduces racing thoughts
-
Eases muscle tension
-
Promotes melatonin production (via scent-triggered relaxation)
Make this a part of your wind-down routine with our soothing scent blends.
