Healing The Chakras With Herbs & Spices

Each plant carries a vibrational frequency that corresponds to one of the seven chakras. The vibrational qualities of herbs will benefit the mind, body and spirit. Herbs can be used in a variety of ways and will assist in healing and stimulating the entire chakra system. Certain herbs have effects that will be beneficial for healing a specific chakra.

These herbs can be used to open, energize and activate the chakras and to balance the energy, to cleanse and release any negative energies, or to clear any energetic blocks so that more positive prana (chi) energy can flow through it.

The fresh leaves, flowers, bark, and roots of herbs can be used in their natural form or can be found in dried form and used in capsules, tablets, tinctures, essential oils, powders, creams, lotions, and salves. Using herbs when cooking and preparing foods is a healthy way to heal the body from the inside out. Fresh and dried herbs can also be brewed to make healing herbal teas or elixers. It is naturally more beneficial to use fresh, raw and organic herbs, leaves, and roots because the 'live energy' has a more healing effect. Aromatherapy uses essential oils to stimulate the senses and can be used for a variety of healing purposes.
