Beeswax Candles Cleanse Air





I would like to see a referencethat supports the negative ion claim. Ozone treatment likely does exactly the same thing for the samereasons.  However that needs specialequipment not readily available.

Thus burning a beeswax candlefrom time to time appears a worthy alternative and should be noted.   I have never had a good reason to evenconsider beeswax in this light but properly presented or even investigated,beeswax or a key constituent may have a significant market.

At least it is a neat fix for neutralizingodors.

It should also eliminate air bornepathogens or at least suppress them! This has not been obvious in the past but that is because no one thoughtto maintain a flame.


3) Beeswax Candles –For hundreds of years, candles were made from beeswax, not petroleum (paraffin)like they are today.

And beeswax candles filter the air you breathe.

That’s because burning beeswax is the only fuel that emitsnegatively charged ions.

 Negative ions are what many electronicair purifiers use, and what doctors use to treat babies with bronchitis and asthma.

The negative ions connect with positively charged ions that carry dust,mold, bacteria, viruses and other allergens. The excess weight causes theirritants in the air to fall to the ground where they can be swept up orvacuumed.

To get the anti-allergy benefits, burn a 100% beeswax candle inyour room for a few hours before bedtime. But make sure you get the real thing.Many candles labeled “beeswax” are a combination of beeswax and paraffin. Whenin doubt, your nose will tell you every time. Beeswax has a uniquely freshsmell, which is distinctly different from paraffin.

Plus, you get a beeswax bonus: When your candle has reached its end, usethe leftovers to make a natural lip balm or hand cream.
