Solar Plexus Chakra Healing Herbs
Oooh, the Solar Plexus.
As all chakra points are, the solar plexus is a space for deep connection. This is a space for shadows to show themselves and for light energy to come swarming into the dark spaces. The space where you are safe to reflect on your wishes and desires. Safe to choose your relationships, accept your emotions and choose your path.
Solar Plexus is the space where confidence, authenticity, personal power and choice all come into play.
Do you feel confident about the life you live and the light that you share? Are you shining brightly or dim?
How can you encourage yourself to follow your desires? How can you say yes to what you want to feel and what you want to see in your life?
How can you give yourself the space to heal and ultimately shine your truest most authentic self? These are all questions to ask yourself.
Solar Plexus is ruled by the element of Fire and the Zodiac signs like Aries and Scorpio. These zodiacs tend to have better control over their emotions and are more aligned with their sexuality. This chakra is located right above the naval, it’s color is yellow. When connecting to this chakra envision a yellow light out of the stomach area, this light is your inner confidence and integrity.
This is the space where you can heal your feeling of self-worth, alive vs fakeness, confidence vs low self-esteem. The world needs all of you, all of your flaws and strengths, if you are feeling disconnected from your journey or authenticity, your Solar Plexus could be unbalanced.
There are a few specific herbs that helped me connect deeper to my Solar Plexus. I brewed these together in a cup of tea when I was struggling earlier last month to connect to this chakra. The three herbs I choose to connect to are as follows:
Solar Plexus Chakra Herbs
Chamomile – Ruled by the Sun and element of Water. This plant soothes and relaxes emotional tension which sits in our gut and stomach areas. Chamomile allows us to feet into stillness and sit with our energy. It allows us to notice who we authentically are and activates who we want to become.
St. Joan’s Wort – This plant is ruled by Leo and the Sun. It connects us to our self-esteem and self-worthiness. This herb brings in all fiery solar plexus energy. It invites us to feel confidence and grateful freely move through our bodies. This herb only works with positive energy, like an instant boost of feeling “I can do this!”
Dandelion – Ruled by Jupiter and Sagittarius. Dandelion gives us the clarity and courage to follow our instincts and allows us to see the bigger picture. It also gives us the drive and confidence to act. The flower is a simple reminder that you can grow and thrive in any environment, if you stay true to yourself.
Other herbs that can assist in supporting this chakra:
- Calendula
- Lemon or Lemongrass
- Ginger
- Goldenrod
- Oregon Grape Root
Treating yourself to yellow foods; yellow peppers, turmeric, curry, lemons, pineapples, etc. This plexus also loves whole grains, oats, brown rice. Feed your belly. Also, core exercises such as boat pose, cobra or plank exercises.
