Aromatherapy Awareness Week Day 1: Empower Your Core: Essential Oils for a Balanced Solar Plexus
Feeling that flutter of unease, self-doubt, or tension in your gut? That’s your Solar Plexus speaking—your energetic center of confidence, motivation, and personal power.
Known anatomically as the celiac plexus, this "brain in the gut" is tied to key organs like the stomach, liver, and adrenal glands. It plays a vital role in digestion and stress response. Spiritually, as the Manipura chakra, it's the fire that fuels your willpower, clarity, and sense of purpose.
When imbalanced, it can lead to anxiety, indecisiveness, low self-worth, and digestive discomfort. Supporting this centre can help you release limiting beliefs and reclaim emotional balance and confidence.
Aromatherapy: A Natural Ally
Essential oils can gently support both the physical and emotional aspects of your Solar Plexus:
✨ Lemon, Lime, Sweet Orange – Uplift and energise with clarity and optimism
🔥 Ginger, Cardamom – Warm, ground, and spark courage while easing digestion
🌿 Juniper Berry, Cypress – Cleanse fear and negativity, restore flow
💡 Rosemary, Lemongrass, May Chang – Boost focus and decisive action
🌼 Bergamot, Mandarin – Uplift and soothe, nurturing self-worth and peace
Simple Solar Plexus Rituals:
Diffuse – Add oils to a diffuser to create an empowering space during work, reflection, or yoga.
Topical Massage – Dilute 1–2 drops in a teaspoon of carrier oil (e.g. Jojoba) and massage gently over the upper abdomen and any areas of tension.
Mindful Inhalation – Place a drop on a tissue or cotton ball and breathe deeply for a quick boost of clarity and confidence.
🌞 Extra support: Combine essential oils with mindful habits like movement, meditation, deep breathing, and nourishing foods to fully empower your core.
