Hydrosols/Floral Water
Research has highlighted some potential health risks associated with certain candle scents and incense binders. Here’s a summary of the findings:
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Many scented candles and incense contain VOCs such as benzene, toluene, and formaldehyde. These compounds can contribute to indoor air pollution and have been linked to respiratory issues, headaches, and other health problems. A study published in the journal Environmental Impact Assessment Review in 2016 found that burning incense can release significant amounts of VOCs, which can have adverse health effects.
- Phthalates: Phthalates are a group of chemicals commonly used to make plastics more flexible and as solvents in fragrances. They are often found in scented candles as well. Research published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives in 2013 suggested that exposure to phthalates from scented candles may be associated with adverse reproductive and developmental effects.
- Formaldehyde: Formaldehyde is a known carcinogen that can be released when certain scented candles are burned. A study conducted by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission found that some candles emitted formaldehyde at levels considered hazardous to health.
- Lead and Heavy Metals: In the past, some candle wicks were made with lead, which can be released into the air when burned. Although lead wicks have been banned in the United States, candles made in other countries may still contain them. Additionally, some candles and incense may contain heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and nickel, which can pose health risks when released into the air.
- Allergens and Irritants: Fragrances used in candles and incense can contain allergens and irritants that may trigger allergic reactions or exacerbate respiratory conditions such as asthma. A study published in the Journal of Environmental Health in 2009 found that exposure to fragranced products, including candles and air fresheners, was associated with adverse health effects in some individuals.
These findings highlight the importance of choosing candles and incense made from natural, non-toxic ingredients and ensuring proper ventilation when burning them indoors. Additionally, more research is needed to fully understand the health effects of long-term exposure to the chemicals emitted by scented candles and incense.
Discover the transformative power of Mystical Wares Hydrosols: meticulously crafted waters, purified to the very essence of each molecule. These extraordinary ‘energy waters’, also known as Hydrosols or Floral Waters, offer a natural alternative to traditional purifying methods like incense, sage, or Palo Santo wood. Infused with pure energy and subtle scents derived solely from the distillation process, they effortlessly cleanse spaces, objects, and even your own aura.
Handcrafted at our Mount Vernon, WA location by Derek Condit, each hydrosol undergoes a meticulous distillation process. Derek’s keen attention ensures that only the most potent and energetically charged waters are produced. Recognizing the pivotal role of water molecules as carriers of energy and frequency, Derek imbues each hydrosol with precise intentions.
While our organic hydrosols may retain traces of natural oils from the distillation process, rest assured that they contain no additives. Any fragrance, color, or oil present is entirely natural, originating from the distilled essence itself. Before use, simply give the bottle a gentle shake to awaken its full potential.
Here are the meticulous steps Derek employs to ensure the exceptional quality of our water:
- Shungite Water Preparation: We begin by infusing potable water with Shungite Water Beads, consisting solely of Shungite and 99.9% pure silver wire. This unique combination, housed in a 5-gallon glass jug, undergoes a three-day process to align, charge, and structure the water, removing any excess energy.
- Advanced Filtration: The Shungite-infused water undergoes rigorous purification through a Reverse Osmosis Filtration System, followed by a Carbon Fiber/Filter System. Additionally, it receives U/V light treatment, effectively eliminating 99.9% of particles and neutralizing any bacteria or viruses present.
- Distillation Process: Exclusively utilizing this pristine, physically, and energetically clean water, we commence the distillation of various types of water, each infused with its intended frequency. Whether it’s Cedar Tree, Palo Santo Wood, Rose Petals, Lavender, or other botanicals, the water captures the essence of each ingredient during the distillation process.
- Organic Ingredients: All our waters and hydrosols are crafted using strictly organic ingredients and undergo the comprehensive water structuring and filtration process outlined above.
