Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Herb or Crystal Candle

Here at Cortney’s Candles, we make suggestions to ensure you get the best out of your product.

Choose the Proper Herbs and Crystals for Your Intentions

First, you want to choose the proper herbs and crystals that suit your intention.

For example, if you have the intention of peace and calm, you could pick the herbs lavender or chamomile. Conversely, you could choose oregano or rosemary for a love or romance candle. 

Set an Intention for Your Candle

Another thing you want to do to get the best out of your candle is to set an intention for the candle. This could be the intention of attracting wealth and prosperity or to love yourself.

All that matters is that the intention matters to you and is what you really want. An intention could be as simple as an affirmation or a mantra.

Cortney’s Candles recommends starting with an affirmation before even considering choosing your candle’s herbs or crystals. The affirmation is your intention for your candle.

For example, a self-love candle may come with the verse, “I love myself for who I am.” This affirmation could be put on your candle label from Cortney’s Candles. We suggest you recite this mantra every time you light your candle for the best results. 

Should the Crystals and Herbs be Left in the Candle While Burning?

You can leave the crystals and herbs in the candle while burning or take them out! It is entirely up to you! If you’d like to take them out to use them in another way, you certainly can!

If you’d like to keep them in the candle, you can do that too! Keeping them in the candle can help enhance your candle’s intention when burning.

What Happens to the Herbs and Crystals Once the Candle is Lit?

Your candle is designed to burn perfectly so that your crystals and herbs will sink to the bottom, moving out of the way of the wick once the candle is lit. No worries, your herbs and crystals will not affect the candle or its wick.

Once the candle has burned to the bottom, you can retrieve your crystals from the remaining wax. The herbs will no longer be able to be used once the candle has melted. You can use them for another purpose after, such as incorporating them into your mediation or other practices.

Be careful with the hot wax when retrieving your crystals; waiting until the wax is cool is best.

Is it Safe to Put Crystals and Herbs on Top of Candles?

Placing crystals on your candle is generally safe, as many are naturally fire-resistant. The herbs will sink into the wax, forming a protective layer of wax between the flame and the herb.

However, it would be best if you always exercised precautions. Never leave your candle unattended while burning.

In Conclusion 

Combining herbs and crystals on top of your candle can bring many benefits, from promoting well-being to enhancing the ambiance of your living space.

Choosing suitable crystals and herbs for your candle depends on your intentions; there is no right or wrong answer. However, setting intentions with your crystal or herb candle is crucial to manifest your goals. At Cortney’s Candles, we offer various crystals and herbs to choose from. We are always here to help you choose the best combination that suits your needs! Why not give it a try and elevate your candle game with the power of herbs and crystals?
