Yankee Candle Aromatherapy Spa

The Yankee Candle Aromatherapy Spa is not a place, but rather a selection of candles meant to enhance whatever mood you'd like. Want to relax? Relieve stress? Set the mood? Feel energized and happy? Light a candle and let the aromatherapy work its magic.

Breathe easy.

Aromatherapy is the use of scents to control your mood. Simply lighting a candle of a specific scent can calm your nerves, energize you, work to relieve a stress headache, or give you the carefree feeling of a walk on the beach. The Yankee Candle Aromatherapy Spa collection has a wide range of feelings right at your fingertips.

It's not actually a spa you visit, but it's one you can create in your own home with the help of some wax, some scented oils, and a small flame.

The beauty of this "spa" is that you don't have to fight traffic to get there. You can even have the candles delivered straight to your door. Once they're there, they'll last a while, so you can have that spa atmosphere without much forethought.

Whatever life sends your way, you can be ready to combat it with a mood-enhancing candle. They can even put a little romance in the air if you need a sweet pick-me-up.

There's a scent for nearly every mood you need to set, whether you need to clear your head and increase your energy or just wind down after a long, stressful day. Need a vacation but can't afford to take one at the moment? There's a solution for that too.

The notes here are peppermint, basil, and rosemary. These are meant to stimulate your mind and give you mental and physical energy. This is a great selection for around 2:00 in the afternoon when your circadian rhythm's telling you it's time for a nap. Putting your head down on your desk for an hour won't cut it, but if you're allowed to burn candles at work, try this. You may also want to burn this one while you study.

Everybody could use a little extra peace in their life from time to time. Violet leaf and lemongrass work almost as well as meditation to give you that perfect feeling of well-being. Light this one when life gets to be a little too much. Just take a moment and breathe.

Lavender and ylang-ylang are well-known for their relaxing properties. Bathtime body washes are often lavender and vanilla scented, so it should come as no surprise that lavender is used in these candles. Also present is the scent of geraniums, which are less traditionally used in relaxing aromatherapy, but beneficial just the same. When you're feeling especially frazzled, or when it's time to wind down from your day, light one of these and perhaps even sip from a glass of wine while listening to jazz.

If you're in the mood for love, this mix of jasmine and sandalwood is just the message to convey it. You'll feel sensual, yes, and with that comes a sexy self-assuredness and relaxing atmosphere. This combination is meant to boost your mood without giving you the same sort of energy the invigorating scents give.

One step down from a therapeutic massage, the stress relief candles are what you need at the end of a long, tense day. Cinnamon and Frankincense are just the scents to calm you after a horrendous day at the office, in traffic, or surrounded by your screaming kids. These scents conjure up relaxing evenings spent by a fire and a window looking over mounds of serene white snow.

Tangerine and vanilla are the perfect combination of energy boosting and relaxation. You'll feel mellow, but not so relaxed you need a nap. This is perfect for all times when you just want to feel a bit sunny and happy. Think of carefree summer days.

Just get away from it all. Mentally head out to the beach with your bare feet and an imagined breeze. Mandarin orange and lemon verbena make this a great scent for those days when you need to be reminded of what summertime's all about. Burn it to get rid of the winter blues.
