This is a general index of the chakras. The essential oils suggested can be used in aromatherapy, massage, baths and other therapies.
1 – Root chakra
The Root chakra is about being physically present. Feelings of stability, safety and stamina are held here. This is the foundation chakra and is the first chakra of the system. When the root chakra is open we feel present in the here and now and feel that our physical space is sufficient, respected and connected to our physical Body.
If the root chakra is closed we are insecure. We may be paranoid, fearful, and full of hatred and anger. We may be overly possessive. We may have low blood pressure, circulatory and sexual dysfunction.
Essential oils to help open the root chakra are vetiver, peppermint, frankincense, cedarwood, myrrh, carrot, cardamon, clove, oakmoss, patchouli, laurel, ginger, sandalwood and benzoin.
2 – Sacral chakra
The Sacral chakra is the seat of personal boundaries, trust, intimacy and the sense of attraction between two people. When the sacral chakra is open we are patient, desire and pleasure are balanced. We are able to manifest desires, have healthy attachments and healthy emotional needs. When it is open we are open to intimacy.

5 – Throat chakra
The Throat chakra is about expressing yourself and communicating verbally and non-verbally. This can be creative expression for an artist. This is what we use to ask for what we want and get those desires manifested! When it is open we are good communicators, we are connected and interact with others to mutually beneficial ends. We are good breathers with an open throat chakra, we can release well and take in the breath of life. We heal better with this open.
Not speaking the truth can close this chakra. When it is closed we tend to not speak, to our detriment. We are unable to express ourselves. We may be addicted to cigarettes, nasal inhalers and runners high. We may have fevers of unknown origin, inflammations, chronic throat ailments and thyroid problems. We may be fearful and timid.

We are better at healing, more sure of the future, and tend to make better choices. This is the chakra of visions and dreams and imagination.

About the Author
I grew up across the street from the Village Sauna and up the hill from the American River in Fair Oaks, California. Native plants and
salves and tinctures were ever present. Victoria Edwards was a massage therapist at the Sauna and lived next door to us on Harmony Hill.
Her handmade massage blends of the 70′s grew into Leydet Aromatics, a world-wide supplier of essential oils and aromatherapy supplies
recognized for quality and customer service. I began working for Leydet in 1995, years of focused learning and growth followed. When Victoria
began a sabbatical in Southern France in 2004, there became a need for a restructuring of the business that she had built. Out of this, Emily’s
Oils and Essentials was born; a company dedicated to continuing the legacy of Leydet by serving customers in the spirit of healing and the
rightful use of plants. I intend to provide a seamless transition for loyal Leydet customers and to continue to introduce people to the sensory
pleasures and healing properties of nature’s gifts
