Top 5 Benefits of Burning Candles In Your Home

A brief history of the benefits of burning candles

Candles have been used as a source of light and to illuminate mankind’s celebrations for more than 5,000 years. According to the National Candle Association, the first candles were developed by ancient Egyptians who used rushlights, or torches, made by soaking the pithy core of reeds in melted animal fat!

Although burning scented candles no longer provide a major source of light, they now continue to grow in use. From symbolizing celebration, signifying romance, soothing senses, defining ceremony and accenting the style of home decors!
