Essential Oils and Blends for St. Patrick’s Day

Essential Oil Diffuser Blends for St. Patrick's Day

The essential oil that first comes to my mind for use in the diffuser on St. Patrick’s Day is Spearmint Essential Oil. Like its beautiful green leaves, spearmint is often represented by the color green (i.e. in mints, gums and candies). It is a fresh, clean-smelling, energizing oil that is perfectly befitting the day and transition of seasons. It doesn’t overpower as easily as Peppermint Essential Oil can.

Here in the Northern Hemisphere, spring will be officially arrive in a couple not-soon-enough-to-get-here days. Although it is still too cool for my spearmint to once again begin to grow, my mint plants are typically the first to greet me as soon as the weather warms up enough.

Take a peak at AromaWeb’s Essential Oil Diffuser Blends for St. Patrick’s Day for two blends that were created especially for this time of year!

The Importance of Using Botanical Names with Essential Oils

The Importance of Using Botanical Names with Essential Oils

A plant’s common name is the name that we casually use to refer to a botanical. Examples of common names include Eucalyptus, Orange, Chamomile and Bay.

As is the case with each of these examples, different plants can sometimes share the same common name. For example, there are several types of Chamomile. Refering only to a plant’s common name can be highly problematic because plants sharing the same common name don’t necessarily share the same therapeutic properties, benefits or contraindications.

To eliminate this confusion and the unfortunate problems that can arise from it, botanical nomenclature is used to systematically name plants in Latin so that no two plants share the same Latin name that is assigned to the plant.

AromaWeb’s featured article can get you started in learning more about botanical names and how to utilize them with essential oils:

Sustainability Risks and Conservation of Essential Oil Bearing Plants

Conservation and Sustainability of Essential Oil Bearing Plants

It takes a HUGE amount of plant material to produce essential oils. For example, it takes all of the petals from 30-50 roses to produce a single drop of Rose Otto Essential Oil. [Source: Andrea Butje, The Heart of Aromatherapy (Carlsbad, CA: Hay House, Inc., 2017), 6.]

We cannot assume that the essential oils that we have easy and reasonably affordable access to today will be available to us indefinitely if we do not each play our part in responsible usage, conservation and sustainability efforts.

It is so important for us all to do our best to use essential oils sensibly and spend time learning about which essential oil bearing plants are endangered or are at-risk.
