Do you know why candlelight feels so healing?

Scented candles have become more than just home décor;
they’re a way to bring joy to oneself,
a reflection of personality and taste.
The healing power of candlelight has scientific roots we often overlook.

The first thing we notice is
the color and warmth of the flame.
Its glow, ranging from orange to red, radiates a gentle warmth.
Orange is a cheerful and lively color,
evoking feelings of warmth, maturity, comfort, and joy.
It’s the warmest hue in the spectrum of warm colors.

Then there’s the "1/f rhythm" of candlelight.
1/f refers to a type of fluctuation where the spectrum density is inversely proportional to the frequency (f).
Known as "pink noise," it’s often seen in natural phenomena.
Examples include:

• The rhythm of our heartbeat
• The movement of our eyes
• The sound of waves
• The gentle swaying of a train
• The babble of a brook
• Sunlight filtering through leaves
• The flicker of fireflies
• The physical resistance of metal or the grains of wood

These all exist in a beautiful harmony of randomness and order,
offering us a sense of comfort and healing.

The balance of emotion and reason
A single scent, a flickering light—
in the most subtle ways, they have the power to move you.
