First Chakra – Root It is located at the base of your spine and connects us to the Earth.

It is
where we receive vital nutrients and release toxins. The root chakra is the physical bond and
the bond that keeps us in the present. Imbalanced root chakra results in problems with legs,
feet, rectum, tailbone, immune system, depression, and autoimmune deficiencies. Experts say
that dandelion root tea can assist in the treatment of depression, gallbladder and high blood
pressure. Root vegetables like carrots, potatoes, parsnips, radishes, onions and garlic soothe
the root chakra. Second Chakra – Sacral It is located below the navel – between the ovaries in
women, and near the prostate in men. Its primary qualities are creativity, attention and sensual
expression. Any blockages in this Chakra lead to eating disorders, urinary tract problems,
reproductive disorders, occasional headache, fever, and emotional imbalance. Calendula is
super-easy to grow, and will sure enhance your creativity in every aspect of your life. Gardenia
is another herb that is highly beneficial for the sacral chakra. It is commonly called “the
happiness herb.” When added to essential oils, its roots have multiple uses, and its flowers
soothe the senses. Sandalwood cures many infections, as it stimulates cell production and
growth. Apply some sandalwood oil on your body before you take a shower, or use it as an
aromatizer in your home. You can also use coriander, fennel, licorice, cinnamon, vanilla, carob,
sweet paprika, sesame seeds, and caraway seeds. Third Chakra – Solar Plexus This chakra is
the power centre of emotions and positive self-control. When the third chakra is blocked, we feel
unworthy and our self-esteem is pretty low. Depression and anxiety are not the only problems –
you could also struggle with physical problems like indigestion, ulcer, diabetes, liver and kidney
problems, anorexia, bulimia, intestinal tumor, etc. Use lavender, bergamot and rosemary oil to
unblock the energy flow of the solar plexus chakra. Bergamot stimulates the digestive system,
and thus causes less strain to the intestine. In the Mediterranean people use rosemary as an
essential herb for the stomach health and intestines. Its leaves are added to different dishes,
and rosemary oil is perfect for cooking. Marshmallow also relaxes this chakra, and eases our
effort to control life. Use anise, celery, cinnamon, lily of the valey, ginger, mints (peppermint,
spearmint, ets,), melissa, turmeric, cumin and fennel to balance the solar plexus chakra. Fourth
Chakra – Heart The fourth chakra is the centre of love, compassion and forgiveness in the
body’s energy system. When the heart chakra is blocked we are unable to love ourselves and
the others. In the physical aspect, people usually suffer from poor circulation, in emotional level
we lack empathy, and we lack devotion in the spiritual aspect. The fourth chakra is the centre of
the issues of love, grief, hatred, anger, jealousy, fears of betrayal, loneliness, and the ability to
heal ourselves and the others. Hawthorn berries added to tea or tincture increase your trust in
life and encourage ourself to follow our heart and feel safe doing it. In physical aspect, it
strengthens heart and blood vessels. Use cayenne, jasmine, lavender, marjoram, rose, basil,
sage, thyme, cilantro, parsley to improve the health of your heart. Fifth Chakra – Throat Throat
chakra controls our self-expression and communication. Its blockages result in thyroid problems
and laryngitis when it comes to physical health, and codependency on emotional level. Unclear
thoughts are common for the mental level, and insecurity for the spiritual level. It is held as
responsible for nervousness, fear, and anxiety. Red clover blossoms allow free flow of
communication and self-expression. Scientists conducted a research at the University of
Maryland, Medical Centre, and it showed that lemon balm can heal many ailments, including
thyroid conditions. Eucaliptys oil is beneficial for decongestion. Soothe throat chakra using
coltsfoot, peppermint, sage, salt, and lemon grass. Sixth Chakra – Third eye “The third eye” is
connected with the pineal gland and your intuition. When it is blocked, we lack in imagination
and intuition, which results in poor decision making and self-deception. In physcal aspect, we
struggle with eye/ear problems, headache, migraine, insomnia, and nightmares. Use mint,
jasmine and eyebright to open your sixth chakra. Eyebright helps you see the dark and light side
as part of the whole, and it is often used in the treatment of eye problems. Mint cures
depression, migraines, and memory loss. It strengthens the connection between mind and body.
Energize and heal your imbalances using juniper, mugwort, poppy, rosemary, lavender, and
poppy seed. Seventh Chakra – Crown It connects us to the divine energy in the Universe. The
seventh chakra is associated with our wisdom, enlightenment and transcendence. When it is
closed we are spiritually disconnected. In physical aspect, it leads to depression, nervous
system disorders, migraines, amnesia, ADD, dyslexia, and more extreme conditions like
cognitive delusions and mental illness. Use lavender flower and lotus to open your seventh
chakra. Lavender brings us into alignment with the divine wisdom on a daily basis. It is often
used to enhance meditation. Chinese and Japanese add lotus leaves to their dishes, and each
