Maitri Verde's Protection Candle is a 94% organic wax mix of soy+palm+beeswax and 6% of pure organic essential oils of Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens), Ruby Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi), and zesty Lemon (Citrus limon), an organic eco wick, crashed white sage and crystal chips of tiger eye.
Aromatherapy uses botanicals to foster a sense of safety and protection. A powerful aroma such as Palo Santo can focus our attention, unify our senses, and quiet the mind. Grapefruit essential oil stimulates the heart, solar plexus and third eye chakras. It helps to cleanse the mind and the aura, and promote confidence, intelligence and creativity. Lemon is a spiritual cleanser and protector. It lifts the soul and keeps you cheerful while going through changes.
A stone of protection, Tiger Eye may also bring good luck to the wearer. It has the power to focus the mind, promoting mental clarity, assisting us to resolve problems objectively and unclouded by emotions.
No synthetic fragrances. No additives. Our candles are therapeutic and scented naturally. The price of the candle is determined by the cost of the pure and organic essential oils. Because what you breath-in matters.
Lighting a candle symbolizes bringing light to our wishes or desires, as a prayer for love, peace or a request for healing. Lighted candles are reflections of our emotional self and help to illuminate our hearts when we feel burdened. You are invited to reflect on whatever is resonating within you at this the moment.
Candles can be used in any room of your house where you want to bring more light and clear stagnant negative energy, outdoors or on your altar.
TIP: Help keep your candle in top condition with wick trimmer! It allows you to easily keep your wicks trimmed to .25" and candles debris-free so you can get the most out of your purchase.
NOTE: Regular paraffin candles are petroleum derived and can release chemicals like benzene, toluene, soot and other chemicals into the air. These types of candles do more harm than good for indoor air quality and should be avoided.
Exposure to fragrance chemicals found in synthetically fragranced candles can cause headaches; eye, nose, and throat irritation; nausea; forgetfulness; loss of coordination; and other respiratory and/or neurotoxic symptoms. Many fragrance ingredients are respiratory irritants and sensitizers, which can trigger asthma attacks and aggravate sinus conditions.
Fragrance chemicals are the number one cause of allergic reactions — not only to the primary users, but also to those who breathe in the chemicals as secondhand users. Phthalates in fragrances are known to disrupt hormones and are linked in animal studies to malformations of the penis, as well as adverse effects on the developing testes.
