ESSENTIAL OILS AND THE CHAKRAS
For the Throat Chakra (Vishudha), choose essential oils that balance the emotions and improve communication & self-expression. When your emotions are in balance you are more able to accept your limitations, thus promoting spiritual patience. Any of the camomile oils German, Roman or Cape will suit this purpose. Peppermint and/or eucalyptus are helpful for clearing sinuses and thereby clearing communication channels
