Chakra Essential Oils and Blends

 

The 7 Chakras are the energy centres in our body in which energy flows through.

The word ‘Chakra’ is derived from the Sanskrit word meaning ‘wheel’. Literally translated from the Hindi it means ‘Wheel of spinning Energy’. A Chakra is like a whirling, vortex-like, powerhouse of energy. Within our bodies, you have seven of these major energy centres and many more minor ones.

These are:-

Blockage can manifest as psychological problems.
