Want to learn more about how you can maintain your health using various herbs? Want to know how to keep your chakras balanced? Here I provide a mix of different herbs used by indigenous people for overall better health, mental clarity, emotional well-being, sleep and much more. Check it out!
Root Chakra
​
Your Root Chakra controls your survival needs, your connection to the earth, and your sense of security. Your Root is the governing body for your sense of safety and stability.
​
Two beneficial herbs for the Root are Ashwagandha and Dandelion Root.
Ashwagandha is a great herb for relieving stress, depression, and anxiety, as well as aiding your blood flow.
Dandelion Root strengthen your connection to your body, helping you be more conscious and aware of the present moment. It also helps you create and manifest your soul’s true purpose.
Sacral Chakra
​
Sacral Chakra, which is your center for creativity, emotions, and sexuality. This energy center also governs the area around your hips and reproductive organs.
​
Damiana is a small shrub that produces fragrant, yellowish orange flowers. It has long been known to be an aphrodisiac because it works to improve the oxygen supply to your zones of sensuality. However, Damiana also has a calming effect on your nervous system, leading to less depression and anxiety.
​
And while Damiana assists with the sexuality side of the Sacral Chakra, Calendula works with your creative energy. This bright orange flower, also known as a marigold, brings inspiration and joy to reduce any creative blocks that may be holding you back.
​
If you’re experiencing problems with your mood, stress, or nervous system, either of these herbs can help you find a bit more balance.
Solar Plexus Chakra
​
Your willpower, sense of self, power, and control are linked with your Solar Plexus Chakra. So if you find yourself lacking motivation, self-esteem, or agency, it may be time to try Lemongrass and Marshmallow Root.
​
On the mental level, Lemongrass works to clarify your mind so that you are able to form a clear path forward. Lemongrass can also help boost your self-esteem and reduce depression. Physically, this herb supports your immune system so that you can fight off diseases and maintain your power. It also helps with your digestion, which is linked to your Solar Plexus Chakra.
​
Marshmallow Root works to align your attention with the flow of life and the present moment. It also soothes your respiratory tract, allowing you to better connect, or reconnect, with the rhythm of your breath.
​
Heart Chakra
​
As you might have guessed, your Heart Chakra coincides with your feelings of love and compassion.
​
Hawthorn Berry is one of the oldest treatments for problems that arise from a blockage in the Heart Chakra.
On the physical level, this herb can be helpful for stabilizing your heart and blood pressure, improving your circulation, and combating life-threatening diseases like heart attacks and heart arrhythmias.
Hawthorn Berries also strengthen the muscles of your heart so that you are healthy, loving, and happy.
This small red berry affects you on a spiritual level, as well. It strengthens your ability to fully trust in your life path and encourages you to have faith in the guidance that your heart offers. Hawthorn Berries can work with your emotions to allow you to increase your focus on a person’s soul qualities, so that you can look past personality differences to form a deeper relationship.
You can let yourself surrender to the power of love with the help of this sweet berry.
Throat Chakra
​
Red Clover Blossoms were once believed to ward off evil spirits, but today they are used to help clear the channels of communication. Drinking a tea made of these blossoms will facilitate better self-expression so that you can share your thoughts, feelings, and needs with those around you.
Slippery Elm can be another effective treatment for blockages in your Throat Chakra. Native Americans used to harvest the bark from these tall trees to treat common problems like fever and sore throats. This herb forms a gel-like substance that can coat your throat and soothe any inflammation in the area of the body that houses this particular energy center.
Crown Chakra
​
The final Chakra that is seated at the very top of your head connects you with the spiritual world and the entire universe.
You may know that Lavender essential oil is beneficial to this energy center, but you can also enjoy Lavender as a tea or supplement. Lavender gives you a path toward divine wisdom, helping you receive and trust the guidance from the universe.
Just like the essential oil, the herbaceous form of Lavender can enhance your meditations, allowing you to dive deeper inside yourself.
Additionally, Lavender can enhance your mental and spiritual clarity, while also nourishing a sense of calm in your nervous system so that you no longer feel anxious or stressed.
Mental and emotional clarity can often be tough to heal with herbs alone, so make sure you are incorporating other methods such as Reiki.
Third Eye chakra
​
Wisdom and intuition reside in your Third Eye Chakra, meaning blockages here can make you anxious, distrusting, overly analytical, or confused.
Natives in the sixteenth century once used Passionflower as a sedative agent. Today, it is commonly known for its ability to combat anxiety and sleep problems, both of which are connected to this energy center. Use Passionflower with caution, as it can cause drowsiness. This herb should also not be used if you are pregnant, because it may induce contractions.
Peppermint is a delicious and powerful herb that can help you become more sensitive to the energies around you. And as you begin to feel more of this energy, you’ll be able to trust the intuitive messages you’re receiving.
Eyebright is a beautiful, small, and delicate flower. Consuming this herb illuminates the lessons you can learn from life, even when things seem bleak. It also gives you the wisdom to see things from a new perspective.
