Essential Oils for 1st Chakra - Survival and Support Root Chakra - "I am":

It is comprised of whatever grounds you to stability in your life. When these needs are met, you feel grounded and safe, and you tend to worry less day to day.

People with an imbalance in root chakra tend to be anxious, fearful, insecure, or experience nightmares. Physical imbalances may manifest as problems in the colon, with the bladder, with elimination, or with lower back, leg, or feet issues. In men, prostate problems may occur. Eating disorders may also be a sign of a root chakra imbalance.

Essential oils that closely associate with the root chakra tend to be made of heavier molecules and characterized as base notes with deeper, slowly unfolding, long-lasting scents which offer a sense of calm, confidence, and security

For example who is excessively worried, anxious, sleepless, or overthinks things could benefit from Bay Laurel (Laurus nobilis), Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea), or Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) essential oils
