DETAILS
History of the Beeswax Candle:
The ancient Egyptians are believed to have been the first civilisation to have harvested honey and wax from bees, with the first beeswax candles appearing in about 40 BC. These contained wicks fashioned from rushes; it was not until many centuries later that cotton wicks were introduced.
Although relatively expensive, beeswax candles quickly gained in popularity, since cheaper ones made from tallow, or animal fat, did not burn well and created an unpleasant smell. In fact, beeswax candles were once required exclusively by the Roman Catholic Church.
Benefits to using Beeswax Candles:
Beeswax releases negative ions as it burns. Pollen, dust, dirt and other pollutants all carry a positive charge, and this allows them to remain suspended in the air. The negative ions that emanate from burning beeswax neutralise the positive charge on airborne contaminants and pollutants, causing them to be sucked back into the burning candle or fall to the ground, and consequently assisting to detoxify the air. Many air purifiers and water filters utilise this negative ion technology.
So when it comes to burning candles at home, the choice is clear. Spend a few extra dollars and buy nothing but pure beeswax candles.
