Good reasons not to use scented candles and incense
Electronic environment scents, scented candles and incense are not the best options for health because it contains chemicals that spread through the air like Carbon Dioxide and Monoxide, Formaldehyde and Lead, which can cause cancer if they are frequently inhaled, heart and lung diseases. These end up having the same effect as the cigarette or the Narghile.
Immediate effects include coughing, dryness of the airways and throat irritation, but it also favors asthma attacks and bronchitis attacks. Exposure to more than 1 hour in an environment with candles or incense may increase the risk of cardiac arrhythmia and headache.
So to ensure a clean, scented and healthy home for a better family rest is betting on the really natural options because even the seemingly natural flavorings can contain these harmful ingredients.
