Beeswax Candles to Purify Air

Considering the sky we are under lately, I am doing anything and everything to keep lil' muachi comfortable and safe from the haze. 

I've recently learnt of a little known fact about beeswax candles. They actually purify the air! Beeswax candles are known to draw pollutants out of the air. These candles are not easily found in Malaysia. I did see one in a gift shop but obviously it's not pure beeswax as it felt like plastic.

I am endorsing these candles from twotreehouse. Ok so it is made by a "trusted source" of mine:) But I am currently using them. I feel comforted knowing that it is clearing the air somewhat and it smells of natural honey. yumm

Beeswax candles purifies the air

Air contains billions of electrically charged particles called ions. Ions act upon our capacity to absorb and utilize oxygen, and therefore, have a powerful effect on our well-being, which can affect our mood, energy and health. Positive ions are loaded with pollution and allergens that are drawn to them and suspended in the air. 100% beeswax candles are known to release negative ions that remove the odours, pollens, smoke, dust, viruses and other allergens and hazards from positive ions, allowing them to drop harmlessly to the ground. These candles are considered beneficial to people with chemical sensitivities, asthma and allergies.

twotreehouse beeswax candles are paraffin free

Paraffin is a major ingredient in most conventional candles and releases dangerous carcinogenic chemicals when burned. These fumes can contribute to serious respiratory issues like asthma.  twotreehouse candles are made from 100% beeswax obtained from sustainable bee farms in Australia. Our candles are also made with pure cotton wicks, unlike poor quality scented candles with wicks that may release dangerous amounts of lead when burned.

Our candles are extremely suitable for nurseries as they are completely pure and are virtually smoke-free. These candles are as natural as it comes and releases a lovely light scent of honey as it burns, which is very soothing and calming. They burn very slowly with a warm glow and purify the air around it. Beeswax candles are ecologically and environmentally friendly, sustainable, and natural.

Here are some of the materials I obtained from other websites:
  
Candles made of pure beeswax have well documented anti-allergic properties. Are you bothered by tree pollen, mold spores, or dust? These nefarious particles are positively charged and conduct static electricity. Allergy sufferers are encouraged to close the windows of their house and light a pure beeswax candle. The all-natural wax emits negatively charged vapors that will IONIZE the air. Burning beeswax candles liberates the air of positively charged allergens as it emits negatively charged vapors into the atmosphere. Try it…it works!

Negative ions are drawn to positive ions.  Positive ions hold on to airborne things like dust, mold and odors; the negative ions latch on to the “contaminated” positive ions and weigh them down this causes the contaminated positive ions to fall to the ground thereby cleaning and purifying the air. A perfect example of this phenomenon is rainstorms. A rainstorm is a negative ionic event, which is why we say the air smells so fresh after a rainstorm.

So go ahead and light a beeswax candle now.
