Third Chakra energy is yellow.
The third chakra, located at the solar plexus, houses organs of the digestive and endocrine systems, as well as our self-esteem, perception and intuition, intellect, and personal power.
Dysfunctions of the Third Chakra may affect the stomach, liver, pancreas, adrenal glands, and the upper intestines, as well as the mid-to upper-spine. The emotional and mental effects are that one may begin to question one’s own intuition, to give away personal power, and to lose self-respect. One may feel an absence of will, or discouragement.
Essential Oils for Physical Symptoms:
- If a third-chakra ailment is manifesting in digestive issues, try the following oils that are supportive to digestion: Black Pepper, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Fennel, Lavender, Lemon, Ginger, Peppermint, Rosemary, and Bergamot.
- The liver is cleansed by Cypress, Chamomile, Helichrysum, Lemon, Juniper berry, and Rosemary.
- To relieve stress, which disrupts the adrenal glands, try Chamomile, Geranium, Lavender, Neroli, Patchouli, Sandalwood, and Ylang Ylang. Stress-relievers, or nervines, are delightful when diffused into the home or workplace for extra relief.

Inhale directly from the bottle, or apply to the third chakra. Remember, stay out of the sun when lemon oil is on the skin; it is photosensitive.
