As St. Patrick’s Day approaches, parades, feasts, green-tinted drinks, and pub-hopping are likely on the minds of those who observe its festivities. Essential Oils can help to not only get into the spirit of revelry this weekend, but they are also said to help with easing the potential discomforts of indulgence. Whether the unease is caused by overeating, excessive drinking, or extended periods of socializing and dancing, Essential Oils may offer respite with some additional health-enhancing benefits.

With bright, energizing, refreshing, and clarifying effects, the Essential Oils listed below can be applied topically or be taken along to boost energy for a long day or night of partying, or they can be diffused before bedtime.

Furthermore, they are reputed to help address the symptoms of hangovers, such as fatigue, nausea, headaches, sluggishness, and muscular aches.

ESSENTIAL OIL SIDE EFFECTS

As with all other New Directions Aromatics products, our Essential Oils are for external use only. It is imperative to consult a medical practitioner before using these oils for therapeutic purposes. Pregnant and nursing women are especially advised not to use Essential Oils without the medical advice of a physician, as they may have effects on certain hormone secretions and it is unclear whether these effects are transferable to babies at these stages of development. These oils should always be stored in an area that is inaccessible to children, especially those under the age of 7.

Those with the following health conditions are especially recommended to be advised by a physician: cancer, heart-related ailments, skin disorders, hormone-related ailments, or epilepsy. Individuals that are taking prescription drugs, undergoing major surgery, or who are at a greater risk of experiencing strokes, heart attacks, or atherosclerosis are also advised to seek medical consultation prior to use.

Prior to using any Essential Oil, a skin test is recommended. This can be done by diluting 1 drop of the Essential Oil in 4 drops of a Carrier Oil and applying a dime-size amount of this blend to a small area of skin that is not sensitive. Essential Oils must never be used near the eyes, inner nose, and ears, or on any other particularly sensitive areas of skin. Potential side effects of Essential Oils include redness, rash, hives, burning, bleeding disorders, decreased speed of healing, low blood pressure, dizziness, headache, nausea, diarrhea, convulsions, and rapid heartbeat. In the event of an allergic reaction, discontinue use of the products and see a doctor, pharmacist, or allergist immediately for a health assessment and appropriate remedial action. To prevent side effects, consult with a medical professional prior to use.
