Why
Should I Burn Original Pheylonian Beeswax?
First
and foremost, , ,
Original
Pheylonian Beeswax Candles are hand-made from
100% Pure Canadian
Cappings Beeswax (and nothing else!)
Original Pheylonians, Pure
Cappings Beeswax candles:
1 ~ produce
negative ions, which cleanse the air of dust, odours,
toxins, pollen, mold, dust mite feces, chem-trail residues
and viruses, as well as harmonizes and balances the human
spirit! See The Positive Side to
Negative Ions
2 ~ are
completely non-toxic, non-allergenic and non-carcinogenic.
With its healthful negative ions and warm, halo’d glow
that also serves to ‘convect’ debris from your indoor
air, our pure cappings beeswax candles are the cleanest
burning candles on the planet. See Beeswax
versus Paraffin.
3 ~ are longer burning than any other candles, including
vegetable/soy waxes, costing only pennies an hour to burn,
See Why Beeswax Costs Less
4 ~ burns with a bright, golden halo while exuding a natural
aromatheric, honey essence. See The
Ambience and Balance of Cappings Beeswax
5 ~ is
proven to be beneficial for people who have allergies,
environmental sensitivities and just too much stress in
their life. See Health
Benefits of Cappings Beeswax.
The
Positive Side to ‘Negative Ions’
POSITIVE IONS
~ Science has proven that, microscopically, any ‘thing’
floating in the air, be it in your home, office or outdoors, is
doing so because it has become 'positively charged'. This
includes everything from dust and pollen to toxic residues and
emissions coming from household furnishings, rugs, construction
materials, including viruses, bacteria and germs. Even odours
such as food smells from cooking, household pets, mold and
mildew, all remain ‘smelly’ because they are ‘positively
charged’, and suspended in the air and thus, are readily
inhaled by us.. These toxins become positively charged by static
electricity, like the friction from walking across carpets or
from the 'dry', recycled air produced by the heating systems we
all use, as well as the flow of electricity require by all our
appliances, such as refrigerator motors, computers, etc.
Mother Natures Balancing Act
It
is an proven fact that people feel better when they go to the
ocean and breathe in the sea air. We have the same exhilarating
experience when visiting waterfalls, in the woods or just about
anywhere after a fresh rain and thunderstorm. This is the wonder
of Mother Nature as each of these natural phenomena creates and
pump an abundance of 'negative ions' into the air, leaving the
Great Outdoors, so fresh, clean and balanced that we can both
smell and feel the difference.
NEGATIVE IONS are the good ones in this case.
The scientific principle at
work here is that a proper balance of negative ions attract and
bind with the positive ions, creating complete molecules which
have a heavier weight mass and a balanced charge.
So when negative ions (created
in Mother Nature or by burning our 100% pure beeswax candles)
are released into a stagnant, positively charged, indoor
environment, those particles bearing the positive charge
(toxins, dust, odours, etc.) are immediately and rapidly
attracted to and then bind with the negatively charged ions.
Now, what once were positively
charged, floating toxins, are no longer suspended, because after
bonding with the negative ions, they have changed their ‘molecular
state’ and are much heavier, so they simply fall out of the
air. The result is an indoor living space that not only provides
cleaner air for you and your loved ones to breathe, but is also
more balanced and relaxing.
Outside of our home
environment, we are very limited in our ability to influence the
quality of the air we breathe. Within our own homes we have some
options but they are expensive and not generally practical. Many
people who understand the seriousness of this situation are
spending thousands of dollars on ‘'Negative Ion Emitters' to
‘clean’ the air in their homes; however, be very careful
because these ‘Negative Ion Generators"’ can produce an
overabundance of ozone, and possibly other scientific ‘by-products’
,which can also be harmful. It’s far more practical, and
cheaper too, to rely on our pure, unadulterated cappings beeswax
candles.
With all of this in mind, we
present the most important fact about Pure Cappings Beeswax, the
reason why it has been held sacred in all ancient cultures.
"100% pure cappings
beeswax is the only fuel to emit the air cleansing and balanced
‘Negative Ions’ while burning."
It
makes perfect sense that Nature would provide us with the finest
tool to recreate the beneficial and healthful effects of
negative ions, so that we may enjoy these benefits at home and
at social gatherings.
It has been scientifically proven that the only fuel known to
mankind to produce a fully balanced negative ion is pure,
unadulterated cappings beeswax. This sweet, inexpensive,
original ion emitter and catalytic converter is one of Mother
Nature’s original inventions.
Yes, , , these are very nice candles and they do burn extremely
well, once you simply master this wonderful art.
At Philoxia, we burn our beeswax candles when we cook, do
writing and paper work, design and create, play music or
meditate. In fact, for years, Iilah and I have made a habit of
burning a candle or two in our bedroom for about an hour or so
before we go to sleep, as we find it allows us to sleep better
and dream clearer.
If you burn a pure, Original Pheylonian Beeswax Candle four to
six times a week and vacuum twice a week, your house will
consistently be cleaner, sweeter and healthier.
Unlike the ‘Ion Machines’, which
can cause the dirt to accumulate on floors and cling to walls,
an Original Pheylonian, pure cappings beeswax candle burns the
dust and toxic debris from the air, as the heatball of the
candle serves to ‘convect’ or cause all the air within a
space to move through the halo’d flame, much like how a
catalytic converter reduces automobile emissions.
Why
should we burn Beeswax
and
not Paraffin?
Beeswax
Cappings
Beeswax
is produced by honey bees from the pure and abundant Natural
Nectars of Mother Natures Flowers. Bees transform the pollen and
nectars of flowers into a most amazing array of products
including honey, royal jelly, propolis, bee pollen and beeswax.
Cappings beeswax is the thin seal of wax that the bee places
over the honeycomb cell after it has filled it with honey. This
hair thin seal is then removed by the beekeeper just prior to
centrifugally extracting the honey from the frames of honeycomb
cells. Remember, only a candle made of this pure, bee-produced
cappings wax, and nothing else, will actually emit negative
ions.
Paraffin
Paraffin
is a petroleum by-product, but what does that really mean? First
of all, do some research and as we have found, paraffin starts
as the grayish-black sludge which oozes out of the backside of
the petroleum refineries. It is the substance left over after
producing many of the other common petroleum products such as
gas, oils, pavement, etc.
This grayish-black crud is then
bleached with 100% strength bleach (creating dioxins, which are
toxic), while we only use 10% bleach in our laundry. This white
ooze is then processed into ‘solid’ paraffin using various.
carcinogenic, solidifying chemicals, a common one is called
acrolyn.
Paraffin wax is then sold to many very
nice companies and people who add various other ‘texturizing’
chemicals, artificial dyes for colour and synthetic fragrances.
Synthetic
Fragrances
When
synthetic fragrances are burned, they produce toxic fluoro-carbons
and other polluting by-products. Inhaling these fluoro-carbons
damages the receptors in our nasal passages that detect scent,
and long-term, diminishes the overall abilities of your
olfactory senses by ‘wearing them out’, one of the reasons
why many people seem to ‘require’ increasingly stronger
smelling candles, etc., to experience any enjoyable aromas at
all!
Remember, they don’t squeeze pure
vanilla pods, at $14.00 each, into those sweet smelling, pretty
coloured candles. Artificial vanilla fragrance is actually
piperonal, which is lice killer. All in all, you have a product
that adversely affects us in many ways. Nice people make ‘em
and good people use ‘em, but my goodness!
Ambience and
Balance
Our
pure cappings beeswax candles all burn with a golden flame, a
luminous halo and a non-perfumed aroma, reflective of the
flowers and honey that wax came from. This soft aroma emitted by
beeswax has actually been proven to relax and de-tress people.
One of the reasons beeswax was held sacred throughout most of
the ancient eras is it's ability to clear the air, so to speak,
of unharmonious energy. This does not require any ‘spells’
or ‘special incantations’, just light our candles, breathe,
relax and enjoy.
From the beginning of time, beeswax has
been used within churches and temples for this very reason. The
fact that most churches now use paraffin, or even worse, liquid
paraffin, is somewhat of a reflection of where the churches
priorities now fall. Somewhere along the line they were
convinced that paraffin was cheaper. It actually isn’t, and
they certainly are missing a whole lot of other balanced reasons
why beeswax is the better choice for the sacred environments of
our churches. Paraffin burns with a harsh white flame and light
and the only aroma coming from it is synthetic and somewhat
toxic. Energetically, paraffin contaminates the air, the
environment that it is burned in and the people who are exposed
to it.
Why
Beeswax Costs less to use than Paraffin
Pure
Cappings Beeswax costs only pennies an hour to burn. On average,
our candles cost between 7 to 20 cents per hour to use. This is
due to the efficient, slow burn of beeswax and also because our
candles are hand-made to burn perfectly each time, all the way
to the bottom with no lost wicks or tunneling. Any small amount
of wax remaining from the ‘stump’ of your Original
Pheylonian beeswax candle, can be recycled into your next one
for the most cost effectiveness. For more in-depth info please
check, The
Science of a Pheylonian Beeswax Candle.
On the other
hand, paraffin averages out to about a buck ‘n a quarter an
hour. This is because paraffin is a fast burning fuel, which
burns at a lower temperature. But the main reason paraffin is
cost-inefficient is because many paraffin candles burn a tunnel
right down the middle ‘till the wick finally drowns itself
out, or the wick literally burns away, necessitating pouring out
the wax and eventually cutting down the sides. Often times, you
end up throwing out a half to two-thirds of your ‘cheaper’
candle.
Depending on
the candle you burn, you can practice the Original Pheylonian
Art of ‘Topping Up’ your beeswax candles. All of our votive
candles and the 3" plus diameter pillars and orbs are
easily topped up by recycling leftover wax from your last
Original Pheylonian candle, and adding it to the liquid pool as
the candle burns down. This practice utilizes every bit of the
valuable pure cappings beeswax, and make our candles even MORE
cost-effective.
Cost has many definitions
Environmental
Cost ~
If you consider the cost on the environment of petroleum
production compared to the completely non-polluting process of
harvesting honey and beeswax, then beeswax is even more
inexpensive in the long and short run. Beeswax is simply created
from the pure and abundant Natural Nectars of Mother Natures
Flowers. And on top of all that, beeswax is non-toxic, naturally
aromatic, and completely healthful while producing the most
conducive and balanced negative ion known to benefit humanity. Please
see The Positive Side to Negative Ions.
Health and
Clean Home Cost:
Last, but certainly not least, is the
indirect cost of when you using a fuel like paraffin in your
home, which emits black soot that coats your walls, household
furnishings and curtains, not to mention your lungs and skin. It
is a proven fact that paraffin, with its associated synthetic
scents and other additives, causes headaches, allergic reactions
and difficulties with sinuses and lungs, while costing home
owners thousands of dollars each year to clean and refurbish
their homes
Original Pheylonian candles burn with no smoke (providing the
wick is properly trimmed) and actually clean the air in your
home each time you use them.

Paraffin on the
other hand has many health ramifications. Anyone with allergies,
or environmental sensitivities, will tell you of the negative
effects of burning paraffin. Over the years, we have sold our
candles to many top executives and technical engineers of the
Petroleum industry. They do not even let their families touch
paraffin, much less burn it in their homes. Please do not let your
families burn paraffin, or eat it, as this same ‘petroleum
by-product’ substance is commonly used to coat all our fruits
and vegetables, as well as being used as a preservative,
stabilizers and fillers within many food products, including all
commercial chocolate bars, processed foods, dairy products,
breads, jams, etc.
Contaminated
beeswax candles do not emit negative ions, have NO health benefits
and could actually pollute your environment when burned!
Know well, just
as not all bread labeled as 100% whole wheat, is truly made with
100% whole wheat flours, the same is true within the candle
business. Not all beeswax candles (even those stating ‘pure’
on the label) are 100% pure cappings beeswax.
Remember, all
candles are classified under the same category as ‘cosmetics’
by the government, and therefore, receive very little to no
regulation for purity nor scrutiny for ‘truth in labeling’. By
law, a candle can contain as little as 10% actual beeswax, (with
the remainder being paraffin or other toxic fillers) and still be
legally sold as a ‘beeswax candle’.
Please know,
after 30 years in business, Original Pheylonian Candles are still
made from 100% Beeswax Cappings, and contain NO impurities, which
negate their healthful properties.
This is where
many people have gotten a wrong impression of the value of beeswax
because they spent a lot of money for "an expensive beeswax
candle" (which was only 10% - 60% pure) and it naturally
burned almost as fast as a paraffin candle. Is there any wonder
why?
Many conventional
beeswax candles are made by melting down all parts of the bee
honeycomb, not just the hair-thin seal on the top, the cappings
wax, which is the most desirable, pure, air-cleansing wax,
perfectly created by the honey bees, in conjunction with Mother
Nature herself.
These days, to
reduce expenses, beekeepers often purchase honeycomb foundation
that is not made of pure beeswax, rather, it can consist of up to
70% paraffin wax, or even contain low melt plastics, with only
thin layer of real beeswax applied to the surface, so it ‘smells’
like an inviting home to the wild honey bees. If the pure beeswax
‘cappings’ are not extracted separately from the man-made,
part paraffin foundation, the result is generic, yellow-looking,
part beeswax product being sold to candle makers, who may not even
be aware that they have purchased an inferior product.
A ‘beeswax’
candle containing only part beeswax, does not produce negative
ions nor does it burn with the bright, warm, halo’d glow.
