An essential oil that first comes to my mind for use on St. Patrick's day is Spearmint Essential Oil. 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.
Spring will be officially arrive in a few not-soon-enough-to-get-here days. Here in the northern hemisphere, this week marks the promise of warmer weather and the return of green grass, budding flowers and lush trees. 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.

On St. Patrick's Day, try diffusing a little Spearmint Essential Oil or create a refreshing room spray.
Aromatics International/Aromahead also suggests Sweet Basil, Palmarosa, Lime or Siberian Fir as green oils lovely for the day. View Aromahead Blog's Green Oils to Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

If leprechauns do their special magic and you are able to source a shamrock oil, I want to be the first to know! ;)
