Learn about essential oils for the Manipura chakra

Essential oils have surprising biochemical and subtle qualities (energetic or vibratory). These attributes allow you to connect with the chakras and tone them. Here we will see the most recommended essential oils for the Manipura chakra.

The third chakra Manipura (solar plexus)

The Manipura chakra, in Sanskrit, is the third energy center also known as the solar plexus chakra since it is located below the base of the sternum and above the navel.

This chakra is the center of will and personal power. Herein lies our confidence and self-esteem. It is through the solar plexus that we view ourselves as individuals in the rest of the world and evaluate how the world looks at us. Some people equate the solar plexus with the ego.

The solar plexus chakra also governs digestion and associated organs such as the stomach, small and large intestines, spleen, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder.

Due to the connection to the digestive tract, imbalances in the solar plexus often manifest in digestive problems such as constipation, diarrhea, ulcers, stomach, intestinal, liver discomfort and diabetes.

The dysfunction can also be expressed in eating disorders such as bulimia and anorexia, food addiction, and emotional dependence on comfort foods.

For each individual, it may be different depending on how the imbalance in that particular chakra manifests itself in a certain person. All this, the mixtures and their way of application should be seen by a therapist specializing in aromatherapy.
