The Magic Potion: Alex's Low Acid Organic Coffee French Roast Ground
Before we brew our way to bliss, let's talk about why we're choosing Alex's Low Acid Organic Coffee French Roast Ground. Not only does it boast a rich, robust flavor, but its low acid content means it's gentler on your stomach. That means you can enjoy all the aromatic benefits without worrying about heartburn, acid reflux, or other tummy troubles typically associated with coffee. It's a win-win!
DIY Aroma Therapy Using Used Coffee Grounds
Now, onto our aromatic adventure! Don't toss those used coffee grounds. They're your ticket to creating a DIY aroma therapy that's as delightful as it is easy. Here's a simple recipe I've whipped up for you:
Coffee Ground Candle
Ingredients:
- 1 cup used Alex's Low Acid Organic Coffee French Roast Ground
- 1 unscented soy wax candle base (or any unscented candle)
- Double boiler (or two pots that fit together for makeshift double boiling)
- 1 wick
- A small jar or container of your choice
Instructions:
- Begin melting your unscented soy wax in a double boiler over medium heat. If you're using a makeshift double boiler, just fill the larger pot with water and place the smaller one inside, with the wax.
- Once the wax is melted, lower the heat and stir in your used coffee grounds.
- While the mixture is still warm and liquid, carefully pour it into your chosen container. Make sure the wick is centered (you might need to hold it in place until the wax starts to solidify).
- Allow your new coffee-scented candle to cool and harden completely. This might take a few hours.
- Light it up and enjoy the cozy, inviting aroma of French roast throughout your home.

Apart from making your home smell divine, this coffee aroma therapy offers a bouquet of health benefits. The scent of coffee alone can help alleviate stress, improve concentration, and even boost your mood.
