Curious Minds Relaxing Natural Beeswax Candle Making Gift Set

Did You Know, CuriousMinds.co.uk has its own beehives?

Beeswax candle making is a relaxing and therapeutic activity that has been enjoyed for centuries. The scent of beeswax is known to have a calming effect on the mind and body. When beeswax is melted and heated, it releases a subtle honey aroma that is soothing and relaxing. This scent can help to reduce stress and anxiety, promoting a sense of calm and well-being. Additionally, beeswax candles burn cleanly and do not produce harmful toxins or pollutants, making them a healthier and more natural alternative to synthetic candles.

The process of making beeswax candles is a creative and engaging activity that can be both meditative and relaxing. Working with your hands and engaging in a repetitive motion, such as stirring the melted beeswax or pouring the wax into moulds, can help to quiet the mind and promote a sense of focus and concentration. This can be particularly beneficial for those who struggle with anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues.

Moreover, beeswax candle making is a great way to connect with nature and the environment. Beeswax is a natural and renewable resource that is harvested from beehives. By using beeswax to make candles, we are able to connect with the natural world and appreciate the beauty and complexity of the bees and their honeycombs. This connection to nature can be grounding and centering, promoting a sense of peace and well-being.

Beeswax candle making is also a great way to connect with others and build community. The process of making candles can be a shared activity that brings people together, whether it is with family members, friends, or community members. This can help to foster a sense of connection and belonging, which is important for our mental health and well-being.

The finished product of beeswax candles can be a source of joy and comfort. The warm glow of a beeswax candle can create a cozy and inviting atmosphere, promoting a sense of relaxation and comfort. The subtle scent of the beeswax can also fill a room with a comforting and soothing aroma, creating a sense of calm and tranquility.

As part of our desire to do some good for the world, our company made a decision, a few years ago, to keep honey bees. The beehives we keep have proved incredibly popular with our customers who are as fascinated as we are by these industrious little creatures. We regularly post information updates about the bees and how they're doing & we also sell our wonderful Single Origin Blossom Flower Honey via the website & our bricks & mortar shop.

The next step in our beekeeper's journey has been the development of our own beeswax candle making kit. Beeswax is an amazing substance used by the bees to create the iconic hexagonal shaped chambers where they raise their young and because it's waterproof, the bees can also store honey in these chambers.

We thought you might also love gifting to friends & loved ones and discovering yourself, the wonders of beeswax candles and the pure pleasure of working with natural beeswax to make your own beeswax candles.
