Beeswax has been used in candle-making for centuries. A spooky discovery was made in a cemetery in Germany, where beeswax candles dating back to the 6th century were found—and they were still useable! Beyond candles, beeswax has held an air of authority, often used in royal stamps for document seals, found in the tombs of Egypt, and aboard old Viking ships. This long history shows that humans have always recognised the value and prestige of beeswax.

One of the properties that make beeswax so alluring is that it never spoils and can be melted and reused. It is non-toxic and is said to burn brighter, cleaner, and longer than other waxes. As beeswax burns, it releases negative ions, which attach to pollens, dust, odours, and other airborne particles. These pollutants become heavier and fall to the ground, effectively purifying the air.

Beeswax releases negative ions as it burns. Pollen, dust, dirt and other pollutants all carry a positive charge, and this allows them to remain suspended in the air. The negative ions that emanate from burning beeswax neutralise the positive charge on airborne contaminants and pollutants, causing them to be sucked back into the burning candle or fall to the ground, and consequently assisting to detoxify the air. Many air purifiers and water filters ulitise this negative ion technology.

Burning a beeswax candle and then vacuuming the floor can help clean the air around you. This is especially useful for people with allergies and asthma, or anyone who desires cleaner air quality in their home or workplace.
