In Sanskrit, chakra means “wheel,” and each of these seven wheels is a vortex of energy. When all of our chakras are open, energy runs through them freely and our body, mind and spirit are in harmony. When they are blocked, we experience mental, physical and emotional imbalances that manifest as anxiety, depression, lethargy and pain⁠

Certain essential oils are very helpful in unblocking and restoring balance to the chakras. Check out our guide to the chakras and the essential oils used to balance them.
