Green Oils to Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day
You don’t have to wear green or drink green beer (or be Irish) to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Try bringing a little “green” into your home for the day by diffusing bright, herbal essential oils!
- Sweet Basil essential oil smells like fresh basil leaves. Sharp, bright, and springy, the aroma is emotionally uplifting. Perfect to get you through the last days of Winter!
- You can’t get much greener than Lime essential oil. The aroma is very tropical and bright, with a sweet tangy bite to it. Diffuse it to clear the air in your home and to ease anxiety.
- Palmarosa essential oil has a floral tone. The unmistakable aroma is surprisingly rose-like for an oil distilled from grass. This “green” oil is calming and a little romantic without being cloying or overly flowery.
- If you or your loved one is suffering from a Winter cold, you may want to “go green” with a pine oil like Siberian Fir essential oil. Diffuse it to help rid your home of germs. You can also steam with a drop to help clear out sinuses and ease breathing.
