Good reasons for not using scented candles and incense
Electronic room air fresheners, scented candles and incense are not the best options for health because they contain chemicals that spread through the air like Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide, Formaldehyde and Lead that can be cancerously inhaled frequently, heart and lung diseases. These end up having the same effect as the cigarette or the hookah.
The immediate effects include coughing, dryness of the airways and irritation of the throat, but it also favors asthma attacks and attacks of bronchitis. Exposure to more than 1 hour in an environment with candles or incense can increase the risk of cardiac arrhythmia and headache.
Thus, to ensure a clean, fragrant and healthy home for a better family rest, it is better to bet on truly natural options because even the scents that are apparently natural can contain these harmful ingredients.
