Changing use of candles
Earlier, candles were used only for lighting, but now after the availability of electricity, candles are mostly used for fashion and decoration. You must have seen that candles are used on special occasions in homes, events and hotels. Many of these are scented candles, which fill the room with fragrance as soon as they are lit. But experts are now advising to avoid the use of scented candles.

Fashion of scented candles
The craze of scented candles has increased a lot among people now. Especially the youth are using it to decorate their homes and improve their mood. You can easily find scented candles in different fragrances and colors in the market and online platforms. These candles make the home decoration attractive, but have you thought how safe they are for your health?

Dangers of scented candles
According to gastroenterology specialist Dr. Saurabh Sethi, scented candles contain chemicals called phthalates, which can disturb the hormone levels in your body. This can have a negative impact on health. She suggests that instead of scented candles, it is safer to use natural alternatives such as soy wax or beeswax (wax obtained from beeswax). Although scented candles make the home environment fragrant and pleasant, their excessive use can be harmful to health. Therefore, it is better that you use natural and safe candles for decoration and fragrance.
