Fall is coming, and one of the biggest fall traditions is spicy smelling candles that remind us of the fall weather and the coming holiday season.
Well, hold off on those candles until you’ve considered this:
A 2015 study by university-affiliated researchers in South Korea found that scented candles can release VOCs (volatile organic compounds) both BEFORE they are lit and while they are burning. That’s right – even an unlit candle releases VOCs into the air you breathe! In the study, they concluded that scented candles “should act as potent sources of VOC emission in indoor environments.”
So what’s the problem with VOCs? They can cause:
- Headaches
- Irritation to eyes, nose & throat
- Nausea
- Liver damaga
- Kidney damage
- Central Nervous System damage
Some VOCs have been labeled as carcinogens. Do you really want to risk it?
In addition to being a health hazard, the soot from candles can damage appliances, ductwork, the walls and furniture of your home – not to mention your body!

I used to love scented candles years ago, before I learned about the health dangers of them. I ditched all the candles and now I use Young Living essential oils in my diffusers to get beautiful aromas without the health risks.

Your Symptoms May Not Mean What You Think They Mean
There’s often more happening beneath the surface than we realize.
Inside my monthly Zoom series, Hidden Conversations Inside the Body, we explore how different systems communicate—and why symptoms don’t always mean what we think they do.
This work is less about chasing symptoms…
and more about understanding the patterns underneath them.
