Body Chakra |
Essential oils enhance focus during practices such as meditation, yoga, and breathing exercises.
Energy and Chi in some traditional practices, essential oils are used to clear blockages in the "chakras". Chakras are said to be connected by meridians, which are described as channels through which vital energy or "chi" flows.
Blockages in these areas are thought to lead to poor health in the related part of the body. Specific essential oils are associated with different chakras, or centres, and are recommended to help bring balance and healing to these areas.
The crown chakra at the top of the head governs the pineal gland and our "inner self". Oils such as frankincense, rose and lavender correspond with this area.
The brow chakra, located just above and between the eyes, is connected to the pituitary gland and rules memory and mind. Oils such as myrrh, sandalwood can be used to treat blockages here.
The throat chakra covers the area of the throat and the thyroid gland and relates to communication. Try lavender, chamomile, clary sage, peppermint and rosemary to treat this area.
The heart chakra, located around the heart and upper body, affects well-being. Useful oils include rose, bergamot, lemon balm and chamomile, love miracle blend and sandalwood.
The solar plexus chakra includes organs in the upper abdomen and is connected to self esteem. Try ginger, manuka, grapefruit pink, lavender and majorum.
The sacral chakra, located in the lower abdomen, is linked to the reproductive system and responds to essential oils such as sandalwood, rose, ylang ylang, vitality blend and rose geranium.
The base chakra, at the base of the spine, connects to our ability to feel grounded. Oils that help healing here include myrrh, cedarwood and healing trees oil.
