How To Use Essential Oils To Balance Your Chakras
If you have an interest in natural healing and wellness, chances are you’ve come across chakras before. Which might have you wondering: What are they exactly?
Coming from Sanskrit, “chakra” is translated as “disk” and refers to an energy center in the body.
While many believe that there are a large number of chakras, most agree that there are 7 major chakras. These are:
- Root Chakra
- Sacral Chakra
- Solar Plexus Chakra
- Heart Chakra
- Throat Chakra
- Third Eye Chakra
- Crown Chakra
They move from the bottom (the root chakra) to the top (crown chakra) of your body.
Each of the major chakras has a different energy associated with them, and these energies can become unbalanced through a number of factors, which can lead to problems with physical and mental health.
While many remedies exist to help balance one’s chakras, essential oils have often been found to be one of the most effective.
How Can Essential Oils Help Balance Our Chakras?
Different essential oils can act on each of the 7 chakras to result in a balancing effect. It is believed by experts in energy healing that different oils have an energetic bond with specific chakras due to a similar spiritual frequency or wavelength.
Because of this, these healers say it’s possible to direct the energy of any of the chakras to a more balanced state by introducing them to an essential oil they have harmony with.
Each chakra will have different oils that complement them. So, it’s important to go over each one specifically and see which one(s) you believe to be out of balance.
That way, you can find the right essential oil and be on track with healing your body and getting into a positive equilibrium.
Root Chakra
The root chakra is the lowest of the 7 and is located at the base of the spine. Its energy involves security, balance, and basic instincts.
Some essential oils to help balance it are:
- Cedarwood
- Myrrh
- Oakmoss
- Benzoin
- Vetiver
- Frankincense
Each of these oils should be applied to the lower back in order to have the closest proximity to the root chakra.
Sacral Chakra
Associated with sensuality and emotional connection, the sacral chakra can be located in the area of the lower belly.
Consider the following oils if you suspect it may be unbalanced:
- Tangerine
- Sweet Orange
- Rose
- Ylang Ylang
- Helichrysum
- Patchouli
For the strongest energetic results, apply these oils directly below your belly button.
Solar Plexus Chakra
The energetic center for power, strength, and personal motivation, the solar plexus chakra is tied to the stomach.
Some essential oils that have been found to work well in balancing it:
- Cypress
- Geranium
- Lemon
- Rosemary
- Juniper
- Sandalwood
Try applying any of these oils to the stomach and surrounding area and see if you notice a change in this chakra’s balance and health!
Heart Chakra
Strongly linked to love and relationships, the heart chakra is one of the last you’d like to be unbalanced.
Try these oils if you think you’re having a blockage or other imbalance with the heart chakra’s energy:
- Jasmine
- Mandarin
- Lavender
- Orange
- Tangerine
- Neroli
To achieve a close connection to the heart chakra, apply these oils to the chest area.
Throat Chakra
Responsible for communication and the search for truth, imbalances in the throat chakra can be alarming!
These essential oils are likely to have a positive impact:
- Basil
- Peppermint
- Geranium
- Cypress
- Bergamot

Rub these oils on the neck area to harmonize the throat chakra.

One of the higher, more spiritually oriented chakras, the third eye chakra relates to both physical and spiritual vision.
Balance can often be restored with the use of these oils:
- Bay Laurel
- Clary Sage
- Elemi
- Marjoram
- Lemon
- Sandalwood
Apply a small amount of oil on the forehead to help restore the natural vision and clarity of the third eye chakra.

Fortunately, these oils have been known to have a restorative effect:
- Galbanum
