How Beeswax Can Enhance Your Health

We all know bees for their creation of honey, a deliciously sticky, sweet substance that we enjoy putting on our food. But the wax that bees use to build their homes and store honey is also a very interesting substance with many uses and benefits. Eating honey has many well-known health benefits and beeswax also offers a myriad of health benefits, which can be gained in several different ways. 

Aromatherapy

Beeswax is an excellent material to use in creating candles. Not only does it work as a candle material, but it works much better than paraffin wax. Beeswax burns for longer, and cleaner, without releasing any toxic smoke. Beeswax candles result in slightly brighter flames and release a light honey aroma in addition to facilitating the elimination of airborne pollutants in the area where the candle is burned. Beeswax can therefore be used as a healthy air freshener and purifier.

Cosmetic Applications

Beeswax can also be used to make topically applied cosmetic products. When used on the skin, beeswax has hydrating properties and can be used to soothe various skin conditions, including dryness, cracked skin, itchiness, or redness. It prompts the skin’s natural regeneration process and facilitates damage repair, in addition to exfoliating to remove dead skin cells. This can help promote skin health as well as make your skin look brighter and younger. Beeswax can also be applied topically to hair follicles to nourish and condition, adding to the hair’s brilliance and strength.

Beeswax Health Properties

As a great cosmetic agent that nourishes both skin and hair, beeswax can promote beauty and as a candle material it can also promote respiratory health. This extremely beneficial substance is a great way to boost your health.
