Essential Oils for Balancing Chakras; 5th Chakra or the Throat Chakra

Essential Oils for Balancing Chakras; 5th Chakra or the Throat Chakra


The Fifth Chakra (Vishudha) or Throat Chakra;
The fifth chakra is also known as the throat chakra or in Sanskrit- Vishudha (which means 'pure') and relates to communication and divine will, creativity, self-expression and the search for truth. It is where we speak our truths and take responsibility for our words.
The corresponding body parts associated with the throat chakra are the throat and neck, esophagus, mouth, teeth, upper lungs and respiratory system, ears, thyroid and parathyroid glands. The throat chakra also corresponds with the element of ether.
The corresponding colors associated with the throat chakra are blue, and sky blue. Blue symbolizes inspiration, devotion, infinity and religious goals, and the color blue also produces a calm and peaceful feeling.
The throat chakra enables us to communicate our thoughts and feelings, and is directly connected to the ability to express inner creativity. Both our teaching and learning are affected by the balance of the throat chakra. A strong throat chakra encourages leadership, the spirit of truth and listening to one's intuition. " We speak our choices with our voices (throats). All choices we make in our lives have consequences on an energetic level. Even choosing not to make a choice such as in repressing our anger (not speaking out) may manifest into laryngitis. We have all experienced that "lump in our throats" when we are at a crossroad of not knowing how to speak the right words in any given situation, perhaps even stuffing our own emotions. A challenge of the throat chakra is to express ourselves in the most truthful manner. Also to receive and assimilate information. Seek only the truth."
When obstructed or blocked, we experience verbal, hearing and communication problems, sore throats, poor learning ability, and difficulty in expressing our feelings (telling the truth), also we may experience mouth ulcers, scoliosis, swollen glands, thyroid dysfunctions, laryngitis, voice problems, gum or tooth problems, even TMJ may be a symptom of a blocked throat chakra. Some ways to clear these blockages (besides using essential oils, angelic help, Reiki, crystals and gemstones, sound healing techniques and energy work) are; confession, surrender personal will over to divine will, faith, truthfulness over deceit and learning to take responsibility for one's own needs. When we open this area, we become a channel for truth and expressions. When we give ourselves over to God and trust that he can help us and truly surrender to his will, we are assured blessings and healing.
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. Blocked throat chakras can bring on boredom, contractiveness, restlessness, and frenetic changeability. Behaving in a manner that is honest and true to your self can help open this chakra. Singing, chanting and mantras open it as well. "- fromnaturalessentialoils.net .

Essential Oils for the Throat Chakra
Essential oils to help open this chakra are; German Chamomile (or blue chamomile), Roman Chamomile, Lavender, Spearmint, Catnip, Frankincense, Opopanax, Cypress, Geranium, Spruce, Carrot seed, Fennel, Myrrh, Peppermint, Tea Tree, Cajeput, Sandalwood, Hyssop, Lemon, Sage, Eucalyptus, Goldenrod, Mandarin, Orange, Rosalina, Benzoin, Basil, Linden Blossom, Petitgrain, Rosewood, Atlas Cedarwood, Vetiver , Rose, Jasmine, Elemi, Neroli, Ylang ylang and Bergamot.
Susan Bovanizer explains that, " Aromatherapy can help unblock the throat chakra by supporting our inner strength and fortitude with oils such as frankincense, rose, jasmine, rosewood, elemi, sandalwood, neroli and ylang ylang . These oils help us to feel more secure about ourselves, as well as more self-love, self-confidence and self-actualization. There are also oils that work physiologically on the affected throat area to open the vocal cords and reduce inflammation in the throat tissue. When the physical body is healthy and strong, it is easier to work on the energetic body. Some oils that reduce inflammation and soothe sore throats are tea tree, eucalyptus, cajuput, sandalwood, frankincense, clary sage, and lavender . These oils can be gargled with, inhaled, or rubbed (in a carrier oil) on the affected area. Bleeding gums and aching teeth can be a symptom of an inability to speak up for oneself. Oils that assist in the care and healing of teeth and gums are clove, myrrh, lemon, sage, tea tree, peppermint and sage . These oils can be applied directly to a Q-Tip and swabbed around the mouth and gums for effective healing. Myrrh especially is non-toxic and incredibly soothing for any gum complaints ."
She also adds that, " Pain and disease is usually a wake up call to encourage us to pay attention to a situation or a problem that we are ignoring. When the Universe is trying to get our attention and we aren't listening to our inner selves, then we can manifest earaches, tinnitis (ringing in the ears), or even partial deafness. Some oils that could help change the frequency of an ear condition are tea tree, rosemary, sandalwood, frankincense, lavender, neroli, petitgrain and hyssop . These oils can be added to a base oil and rubbed around the exterior of the ear and applied to a Q-tip and swabbed in the ear. Compresses are also a wonderful way of soothing earaches. Any of the above oils can be used with a compress and placed over the ear to pull out infection and pain ."

These stones can aid the healing and cleansing of any blockage or disease of the throat, even internal bleeding and nervous conditions, and blue stones are also helpful with inflammation because blue is a cooling color. (Deep blue indicates intense power, and light blue (or azures) symbolize high ethical inspiration.)
Flower essences are a form of vibrational energy. Essences that associated with the throat chakra are Apple essence (helps with peaceful clarity), Coconut essence (for greater spiritual awareness), Lettuce essence (for calmness, for developing creativity; for expansion; for strengtheningrelationships and deepening ties between couples; for clear communication skills; for overcoming stage fright, being especially helpful for performing artists and public speakers; for dispelling excited emotions, including anger, which is highly damaging to the nervous system; and for what Dr. Edward Bach once coined as "the gramophone record state of mind," with churning thoughts and un-assuaging mental scatteredness), Also flower essences of ; Cosmos, Trumpet Vine, Larch, and Pear essence (enhances a state of peacefullness; Pear is for emergencies of any kind and any time you feel out-of-sorts, off balance, or not quite yourself. It's like bathing in a waterfall of liquid peace. Interestingly, Pear is an excellent "first essence" in a program, for it has the ability to sensitize you to other essences).
