Aromatheraphy and Chakras
Ancient Indian wisdom tells us that Chakras are energy centres within the human body that help to regulate all its processes, emotions, organ functions and immune system.
People who practice meditation and mindfulness will be more aware of their body and its chakra locations. With practice, they achieve balance in all areas of their life through balancing of chakras.

There are 7 chakras throughout your body, from the base of your spine to the crown of your head. Each chakra has its own vibrational frequency, colour and manages specific functions.
Meditation, breathing techniques, good food habits will bring the balance of chakras. One can also chant Chakra Mantras and there are different ones for different Chakra balance. These are:
Root Chakra: Laahm
Sacral Chakra: Vaahm
Solar Plexus Chakra: Raahm
Heart Chakra: Yaahm
Throat Chakra: Haahm
Third eye Chakra: Ohmm
Crown Chakra: Contemplative silence.

Essential oils can help you achieve that balance and this is what we want to discuss today.
