Muladhara (Root) Chakra, situated at the base of your tailbone, links you to the ground. To balance Muladhara, use essential oils from plants with earthy and red hues, such as:
Myrrh promotes bravery, serenity, compassion, and acceptance. It brings us closer to our real nature, our essence, grounding us in this truth and helping us to transcend the root chakra’s material side.
Patchouli is often used to give overall health support and to assist in the discharge of unpleasant emotions.
Vetiver is psychologically anchoring, stabilizing, relaxing, and balancing.
Spikenard has a grounding effect without being dulling, delivering a stronger sensation of control and stability.
Sandalwood contains relaxing, soothing, and antidepressant qualities. Sacred Sandalwood oil soothes and harmonizes the emotional body, and it aids in the grounding of excessive troubles hanging on our root chakra.
Frankincense, like Myrrh and Sandalwood, is a holy oil. It has both antidepressant and sedative properties. It is a peaceful, tranquil oil that, like Myrrh, aids in the connection of the crown and root chakras.
Cinnamon promotes adrenal gland function, acts as a tranquilizer, and also has antidepressant properties.
Lavender helps us feel more grounded by relaxing the nervous system and promoting emotional balance.
Cedarwood has a great woody, relaxing fragrance. It is used to alleviate nervous tension and calm aggression.
Carrot Seed essential oil is one of the lesser known root chakra essential oils. When used for root chakra balance, this oil acts as a blood cleanser and a general nervous system tonic.
Ylang Ylang aids in the reduction of excessive root chakra’s related difficulties such as anxiety and fear. It is a soothing and sedative essential oil that has a soothing impact on the nervous system and relieves nervous tension.
The essential oils linked with the root chakra are composed of larger molecules and are classified as base notes, which are deeper, gradually unfolding, and have long-lasting fragrances.
Through the sense of smell our Central Nervous System gets relieved and tuned up balancing our Muladhara and also improving how our energy flows upwards our spine. Thus, essential oils, fragrance diffusers, scents, incense and everything aromatic pleasant for us that may wake up this smelling sense will bring to balance our Muladhara chakra.
