Using the right essential oils (especially therapeutically in tandem with color, sound, and crystals) can be a great way to attune any particular chakras that need some extra attention. This guide will show you how to use essential oils for chakra work to uplift, stimulate, balance, or optimize energy.
What Are Chakras?
Contained within our physical body lies a more subtle energetic body, which includes a complex network of channels that allow for the energy flow that keeps us alive and functioning. In yogic philosophy, energetic channels are called nadis, and they function like micro-highways for the flow of prana, or life force energy.
Chakras are thought of as a system of localized coils of prana found throughout the body and connected by nadis—the seven major ones are loosely mapped along the spine, from tailbone to the crown of the head.
If we think about nadis like highways carrying energy throughout our body, chakras are like the pit stops along the interstate. Each of the seven chakra pit stops has a unique function and a particular energetic vibration, and the work that happens at each affects a specific area of our being.
Sometimes, we are overstimulated and have too much energy flowing through a certain point, which can leave us feeling chaotic and unsettled. At other times, we can be lacking in proper energy flow, which results in deficiencies and blockages in certain areas of life.
The goal is to seek a state of balance at each of the seven chakra points by moderating our diets, activities, interactions, thoughts, spiritual habits, and self-care rituals as a way to feel happier and healthier.
Restoring Chakra Balance
There are many ways to optimize energy balance at the chakra level. We can create shifts in the physical world by changing how we communicate, act, eat, and move. This can be done more subtly through what we learn, the thoughts we create, meditation and prayer, and the vibrations we choose to have around us.
For example, placing key crystals near you can uplift, stimulate, or balance your chakras. Particular colors, sounds, images, and scents also affect our energies. And essential oils can also be used to help restore chakra balance.
The Best Essential Oils for Chakras
This guide will help you pick the right essential oil for the chakra you're working with and how to use them.
1. Root Chakra
Name: muladhara chakra
Location: base of spine
Color: red
Sound vibration: C
Element: earth
Symbol: 4-petalled lotus
Suggested crystal: smoky quartz
Suggested yoga pose: malasana squat
The root chakra, located around the base of the spine, affects our feelings of belonging, safety, stability, attachment, and self-worth. Imbalances at this level can take the form of anxiety, depression, insecurity, fear, and dependency. It is associated with the color red, the musical key of C, and the element of earth.
Best Essential Oils for Root Chakra
Essential oils may also help to shift our energy, offering a sense of grounding and helping us rest to keep our bodies working optimally. Root chakra work calls out for grounding earthy scents and sturdy wood essential oils that help you feel connected.
When balanced, a person feels grounded, stable, worthy, and capable. Use grounding crystals such as smoky quartz or obsidian in meditation, and try incorporating these key essential oils:
Grounding scents
Patchouli is a resinous and earthy scent that pairs well with lighter, uplifting oils such as bergamot, neroli, or lemongrass. Vetiver and sandalwood are also grounding oils with calming, anxiety-releasing qualities.
Woodsy scents
Woodsy and rooted, tree oils are some of the best oils for stability and calm. Use cedarwood or cypress as a single note or combine them with oils like juniper berry and fir oils for the ultimate foresty feeling.

Best Essential Oils for Sacral Chakra
When the sacral chakra is in balance, there is a feeling of ease around sex and passion, and inspiration and creativity flow without resistance.

Best Essential Oils for Solar Plexus Chakra
Aromatherapy is another way to bring balance to this area, either by stirring the energies of fire or by quieting them to a more moderate flicker.
When the solar plexus is balanced, we know our worth, stand our ground, and meet challenges with confidence. Meditations could include work with tiger’s eye or red jasper crystals. Try these oils to boost circulation and stoke your fire:
Spicy oils
Try cinnamon or ginger to boost circulation and stoke your inner fire. These oils make a great warming massage oil to increase circulation or add them to a diffuser to bring warmth to the space around you. Combine with a few drops of clove and cardamom oils for a blend reminiscent of a belly-warming chai spice.
Citrus oils
The solar plexus means “sun network,” and like the sun, this chakral point is our bright and shining powerhouse. And what could be sunnier than the scent of lemon? Citrus oils like lemon, bergamot, and sweet orange can brighten the body, mind, and spirit as well as perk up your home.

Suggested crystal: rose quartz
Suggested yoga pose: cobra, camel, or other heart-openers
The heart center holds the chakra that governs our ability to love, trust, feel compassion and empathy, create meaningful bonds with others, and feel connected. When we are imbalanced here, we may feel jaded or untrusting, isolate or block ourselves off behind emotional walls, feel jealousy, defensiveness, or resentment, and have difficulty forgiving. We may also struggle to love ourselves.
Best Essential Oils for Heart Chakra
When balanced, we feel worthy of giving and receiving love, experience harmonious relationships, and are open, trusting, and ready to lean in to the connections that life offers us. Include crystals such as rhodochrosite, malachite, or rose quartz in your meditations, and try working with the following oils:

The obvious choice for heart-based work, rose oil is a balm for the soul. Dilute a few drops of this oil in a carrier oil for a loving self-care massage, or wear it on your pulse points to keep this vibration with you throughout the day.
Floral oils
Luxe, relaxing, enveloping… floral oils like jasmine, ylang ylang, and geranium open hearts to all the good things. Jasmine pairs well with the orange blossom scent of neroli oil in a diffuser for a full blooming bouquet. Try a few drops in a carrier oil on your pulse points (or even under your nose to keep it close).
Herbal oils
The color and vibration of green strike the chord of the heart, so try a few herbal oils like basil, lemon balm, and peppermint to open your breath and heart.

5. Throat Chakra
Name: vishuddha chakra
Location: throat/neck
Color: blue
Sound vibration: G
Element: ether
Symbol: sixteen-petalled lotus
Suggested crystal: amazonite
Suggested yoga pose: seated lion’s breath or shoulder stand followed by fish pose
At the throat (but also including mouth, ears, and cervical spine), we find the chakra associated with communication, self-expression, and integrity. Out of balance, we may gossip, ramble, lie, or lack clarity in our speech. On the other hand, we could also clam up and struggle to speak our truth, express ourselves, or say what needs to be said.
Best Essential Oils for Throat Chakra
When balanced at the throat, we communicate clearly and concisely, listen with equal measure, speak the truth, express our opinions without pushiness, and know when it’s best to hold our tongues. Crystals such as amazonite and turquoise are great to use in meditation and diffusing essential oils that clean the air and soothe the throat can help establish a sense of balance at this level as well.
Try the following oils that keep the air around you clean and clear:
Congestion-relieving oils
Eucalyptus is a top choice for keeping your sinuses, nasal passageways, and throat clear. Try adding a few drops of eucalyptus oil into a diffuser (or to your bath water), or combine it with thyme oil for a soothing double hitter.
Rosemary oil—another useful oil for cleaning the air—and your own airways—rosemary oil does well in a diffuser or diluted in a carrier oil and dabbed under your nose for clear breathing.
Air-cleansing oils
Choose oils that combine their effective antibacterial qualities with the freshness of herbs and citrus to cleanse the air. We love the cool, bright scents of lemongrass, peppermint, sage and sweet orange.

3. Oregano blend
Oil of oregano is commonly used to ease cold and flu symptoms when taken internally. But diffusing oregano essential oil (not meant for ingestion) is also said to have beneficial effects such as soothing a sore throat, helping to clear the respiratory tract, and easing other irritations such as sneezing, coughing, and congestion. This herbaceous blend can be both soothing and cooling.

—4 drops blue tansy oil
—3 drops Roman chamomile oil
—3 drops clary sage oil
5. Peppermint blend

Element: light
Symbol: two-petalled lotus

This chakra is located on the forehead between the eyebrows, is affiliated with the pineal gland, and is the energetic center of your intuition and perception. When there is an imbalance at this level, you may experience confusion, headaches, paranoia, excessive daydreaming, muddled thought, lack of clarity, and be unable to trust your own inner knowing.
Best Essential Oils for Third Eye Chakra
You can choose aromas that either foster clarity of mind and attentiveness or ease mental fatigue or brain strain. Try these essential oils that help promote clarity of thought.
Balanced energy here looks like clear thinking, intuitive knowing, a healthy imagination, the ability to accurately perceive the energy of others, and wisdom. Crystals such as lapis lazuli, celestite, and amethyst work with this vibration, as do the essential oils that promote clarity of thought:
Focusing oils
Essential oils like rosemary and peppermint are perfect pick-me-ups to use when you need your tired or muddled mind to snap into focus. Try adding a drop (diluted into a carrier oil) onto your pulse points, or use it in a diffuser blended with lemon, another oil that’s great for clearing the mind.
Stress-relieving oils
Essential oils like clary sage and lavender can help when you need to a calm a racing mind or stop stress-related thoughts. Their soothing scents are perfect for times of heightened anxiety, scattered thinking, or worry. Take a few deep breaths to help you relax enough to see things clearly before you act.
Sleep oils
If you're feeling too overwhelmed to drift off, try a sleep-friendly oil like lavender or chamomile before bed to aid in achieving the relaxation necessary for deep, illuminating sleep.

Suggested crystal: selenite or clear quartz
Suggested yoga pose: headstand
Located at the crown of the head, this chakra is the seat of elevated consciousness and perspective. It’s associated with the color white (clear), the key of B, and the element of thought. When our crown chakra is balanced, we feel spiritually connected, have a sense of oneness and bliss, and understand and appreciate our role in the flow of life.
Imbalances here result in skewed spirituality (hyper, delusional, or deficiency), feelings of disconnection and a lack of purpose, or narrow, negative, and defeatist thinking. Clear supercharger crystals such as selenite and clear quartz are perfect partners for crown work, and oils that enhance meditation are helpful here.
Best Essential Oils for Crown Chakra
Including aromatherapy as part of your meditation ritual is another effective way to keep you grounded, relaxed, and open-minded.
Spiritual oils
Resinous frankincense, an oil that’s been used for thousands of years in spiritual rituals and meditation, is both grounding and enlightening. Try using a few drops in a carrier oil and massaging onto your skin prior to meditation or restorative yoga.
Sandalwood is another traditionally spiritual oil, sandalwood is powdery and light and promotes both relaxation and mental clarity, making it a perfect choice in meditative aromatherapy. Diffuse it alone, or pair it with a few drops of the luxuriously settling oils of lavender or rose.
Tulsi, or holy basil, is another herbaceous-scented oil used in Ayurvedic healing and spiritual work.
Relaxing oils
