Root Chakra Healing with Essential Oils: How to Feel Grounded and Secure

Introduction: Why Root Chakra Healing Matters

The Root Chakra (Muladhara) is the foundation of your energy system. Located at the base of the spine, it governs your sense of safety, security, and survival. When this chakra is blocked or unbalanced, you may feel anxious, restless, or disconnected.

Through aromatherapy and essential oils, you can re-establish that grounding connection with the Earth—and with yourself.
