Herbs and Spices for Every Chakra

Herbs and spices to help you on your healing journey in alignment with self.

 

7th Chakra - Crown

  • Lavender

  • Tulsi (Holy Basil)

  • Valerian Root

  • Sage

A couple of great teas by Traditional Medicinals that I like for the Crown Chakra.

Sleepy & Relaxing

For your relaxing options, I have Chamomile Lavender or Nighty Night (which is their Valerian Root tea). You can also find other brands that carry these, I personally stick to what I know. Traditional Medicinals is all organic and the herbs truly feel in alignment with my body.

Energetic & Vibrant

Tulsi Ginger by Traditional Medicinals - this one is GREAT in the mornings!

Alternatives to Tea

You can make a Lavender Oil for popcorn, add lavender into a dessert, latte or morning oats or quinoa. How about some lavender lemonade?

Personally…I love a good Lavender Coconut Drizzle for my pancakes, mmmmm!

This is where you get creative!

 

6th Chakra - THIRD-EYE

  • Mint (my personal favourite)

  • Mugwort

  • Rosemary

  • Lavender

 

5th Chakra - THroat

  • Eucalyptus

  • Peppermint

  • Lemongrass

  • Sage

  • Chamomile

My personal favourite

Throat Coat by Traditional Medicinals.
Peppermint is also a great option.

Pro Tip

If you’ve got allergies or a scratchy throat, you may want to consider swapping out Chamomile for something that suits your body.

I’ve got seasonal allergies and find that sometimes Chamomile tends to leave my throat a little scratchy - especially in the Summer time.

 

4th Chakra - Heart

  • Hawthorne Berry (great for a broken heart)

  • Jasmine (peaceful and calming)

  • Rose (self love, love and being open to love)

  • Basil

  • Chamomile

  • Marjoram

  • Peppermint, Spearmint or Mint

  • Parsley

  • Cilantro (Coriander)

  • Cayanne

  • Chili Powder

The heart chakra is associated with two colours

Pink and Green! I have included Chili Powder in here as I find it very heart opening due to the heat. I love Simply Organic’s Chili Powder mix, it’s amazing!

You’ll find a lot of these support multiple Chakras - Chili Powder being one of them! It’s a great one for the Root Chakra, which we will get to in a minute, I promise!

Herbal Tea Tip

You’ll find a great Hawthorne Berry Hibiscus tea by Traditional Medicinals ;)
I swear I am not sponsored by them… but maybe I should be.

 

3rd Chakra - Solar plexus

  • Turmeric

  • Saffron

  • Cinnamon

  • Ginger

  • Cumin

  • Yellow Curry Powder

  • Mustard Seed

  • Anise

  • Fennel

 

2nd Chakra - sacral

  • Calendula

  • Raspberry Leaf

  • Cinnamon

  • Vanilla

  • Sweet Paprika

  • Turmeric

  • Coriander

  • Fennel

  • Sesame

Menstrual Cycle TipS

Raspberry Leaf is great for relieving cramps and any stress your system is experiencing. Turmeric is great to induce your period - this isn’t proven, however, some say it works.

 

1st Chakra - Root

  • Cayenne

  • Black Pepper (any pepper really)

  • Chili Poweder

  • Smoked Paprika

  • Chives

  • Onion

  • Garlic

  • Horseradish

 

Hope this was helpful for ya’ll!

Even if you aren’t spiritual and don’t believe in this “stuff”, I guarantee you, you will feel so much more aligned, at peace and generally more “clear” if you explore some of these options. If you’d like a more logical perspective: Herbs and spices have been used for centuries and there’s a reason for that - herbal/plant medicine really works!

Welp, that’s my two cents.
