A therapeutic candle kit comprising a boxlike storage container, typically several inches in length, fabricated from resilient biodegradable material, reconfigurable and reusable as a candle holder, together with therapeutic candles. In one implementation, a manufacturer can provide in a side of the box a hole that, when the box is disassembled, can serve as a candle holder to retain a candle and protect the user while in use, and before disposal. In another implementation, the box can be constructed to be non-destructively reconfigured as a candle holder and following use the box can be restored to use as a storage container for remaining candles.
