Signs Of An Unbalanced Throat Chakra
Personally, identifying when my throat chakra is out of whack is easier for me than most other chakras.
When I start to feel misunderstood, that’s one huge indicator. My throat chakra is one of the hardest things to keep balanced, so I’ve become accustomed to identifying imbalances and blockages quickly.
It is with this experience that I learned the most common signs for a blocked, unbalanced, or overactive throat chakra.
Below are some of the common signs:
- You tend to not share things out of fear of judgment, or you overshare
- This leads to a lack of creativity and self-expression
- You self isolate
- You get social anxiety
- You might feel a physical knot in your throat when you try to talk
- You could experience physical illnesses
Perhaps the biggest one of all, for me, is the feeling guilty for expressing my needs, what I believe, and what I want most in this world.
I tend to feel like a burden or as if I’m being perceived as narcissistic when I talk about my wants.
Regardless of how the throat chakra expresses itself to you, when it is blocked or experiencing an imbalance, there are seven essential oils you can turn to.
Continue reading below to learn more about what essential oils help with the throat chakra and the best ways to use them.
7 Best Essential Oils For The Throat Chakra
Before we get into the list of the seven best essential oils for the throat chakra, it should be noted that these aren’t the only oils that can help maintain a balanced throat chakra.
At the end of the day, you must do what feels right to you.
If you try an oil that isn’t on this list and you find that it helps your throat chakra, then don’t fight that feeling!
At the end of the day, we are all unique, and what works for one person might not work as well for you. It’s always best to listen to your intuition first and foremost.
That said, here is the list of the seven best essential oils for the throat chakra:
Lavender
Of all the essential oils, lavender is by far the most versatile.
It is a natural cleanser and relaxer, which works as a great addition in nearly any combo in history, ever.
Seriously, as humans, when we approach our lives at a naturally relaxed and energetically pure state, that is when we are the most lucid, so it allows us to make conscious decisions that lead to our highest good.
In turn, this also leads to faster and more potent manifestation skills.
Therapeutic-grade lavender has been used by holistic healers for thousands of years.
The earliest documented use of lavender was by the Ancient Egyptians 2,500 years ago. They used the oil for mummification and perfume.
Today, it is most often used in skin care for its natural cleansing and relaxing properties.
Scientists have also evaluated it to document its relaxing potential. It’s even been proven to completely diminish the effects of anxiety disorder and the associated symptoms.
It helps to restore natural order and balance physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
Similarly, the cleansing and calming effects of lavender are what make it such a great aid in balancing the throat chakra.
That said, because of its versatility, many people use lavender to help with rebalancing any chakra!

Peppermint
Peppermint, much like many of the oils on this list, is considered one of the oldest and highly regarded herbs.
Many practitioners will use the aromatic elements of the oil to quite literally regenerate energy within the body.
If there is stagnant energy or blockages in the subtle body, peppermint blast the body energetically in a way that wouldn’t allow for stagnant energy to reside afterward.
It was used in ancient cultures to naturally soothe digestion as well as reduce headaches and increase concentration.
Peppermint is also known for helping things like:
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- Nausea
- Sore throat
- The common cold
- Sinus Issues
People have also used it as a flavoring agent in mouthwash or as a scent in soaps and cosmetics.
As you can see, the physical ailments of a blocked or unbalanced throat chakra could easily be put to rest with the usage of peppermint.
In turn, the energetic balance will flow easier as well.
Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus is a magical herb with magical benefits, especially with the sinuses.
Since the throat is basically the drainage system for the sinus tract, Eucalyptus is great for the throat chakra physically and energetically.
In fact, all of the oils on this list are wonderful options for the throat chakra in a physical and energetic sense.
Eucalyptus is sacred to the Aboriginals and has always been known for its clearing effects.
When negative energies were felt or seen, they would burn a eucalyptus leaf to clear the energetic field.
Those that use the oil have experienced relief in the following areas:
- Silences coughing
- Relieves chest pain
- Clears the chest to help with breathing
- It keeps the bugs away when used topically
- It can be used to refresh breath
- Disinfect wounds
Another great way to clear the throat and sinuses is to diffuse the oil in the bathroom while you shower.
The steam activates the oil to clean out the sinuses entirely. You can also hang a fresh leaf in the shower for similar benefits.
Frankincense
Frankincense is one of the most magical essential oils there is.
It basically adapts to whatever spiritual or energetic ailment your body currently suffers from and transmutes the energy to provide a healing effect.
Frankincense is known as one of the most ancient and sacred oils and is even referred to as “Holy Oil” at its core.
Frankincense helps increase spiritual awareness and the connection with the divinity within.
In ancient cultures, Frankincense was more valuable than gold because it could ease many conditions. It has been studied for centuries to examine its potential as:
- Muscle relaxer
- Antidepressant
- Antitumoral
- Immunostimulant
It’s even been studied for its effects on the brain, including:
- The limbic system
- The hypothalamus
- Pineal gland
- Pituitary gland
Using Frankincense helps to balance the throat chakra because when you are in your divine flow, it’s hard for anything to be off-balance.
That is the main reason why Frankincense is loved so much. It has so much to offer if we are willing to receive it.

Chamomile
Chamomile, like lavender, is universal.
It is often used in combination with other oils to increase the overall benefit.
On its own, Chamomile is an incredible natural relaxer in every sense of the word. It helps to calm down things like:
- Skin conditions like eczema
- Anxiety relief
- Digestive relaxer
- Anti-inflammatory
- Promotes sleep
Many people will take the flower fresh or dried and use it to make tea for similar benefits.
When you use the oil, you can’t help but to let the oil sweep over you and relax every part of your being.
As a result, you can more clearly decipher your thoughts, which leads to less anxiety around expressing them.
Sage
There are a few different variations of Sage, but in general, Sage is arguably one of the most sacred plants in history.
Like, across the board, nearly every ancient culture used Sage ceremoniously or honored the plant in some way.
If you haven’t heard of Sage essential oil, you most likely have heard of the burning of white sage leaves to smudge an area of negative or stagnant energy.
The same properties can be found in sage oil as well.
Other ailments Sage oil helps with are:
- Stress reduction
- Antidepressant
- Antibacterial
- It helps to alleviate menopause symptoms and menstrual cramps
Essentially, the same properties that work to alleviate stress and depression in the mind are the same properties that remove throat chakra blockages and imbalances in the energy field.
Geranium
When most people today think of essential oils, they rarely ever think of Geranium.
However, much like the rest of the oils on this list, Geranium has been used to treat physical ailments for centuries.
It’s even been scientifically proven to have antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties that help with:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Infections
- Pain management
It’s even thought to help with neurodegenerative disease.
All of the above-mentioned properties help to balance the throat chakra as well.
Essentially, any oil that has natural calming benefits is great for the throat chakra because they help to relax physical and energetic tension.
Bonus: Thieves Oil
Another ancient and sacred medicine and protecting agent, Thieves, is one essential oil you should always have on you.
There are many known benefits from the use of Thieves oil, including a story that dates back to the days of The Bubonic Plague.
It’s been said that thieves would go into the homes of those sick with The Plaque and steal their belongings.
The thieves would wear a mixture of things like:
- Clove
- Lemon
- Cinnamon Bark
- Eucalyptus Radiata
- Rosemary
And the oil mixture would protect them from catching the disease.
It’s said that out of all the thieves that did this, none of them got sick.
Whether the story is true or not, the combination of the oils used could be considered “the optimal health” starter pack.
This oil works similarly to an adaptogenic in that it adapts to what your body needs at that moment.
That is why it is recommended to use the oil regularly. It will ensure you are always clear, protected, and flowing physically and spiritually.

There are many different ways to utilize the above-stated essential oils for the throat chakra.
The practitioner may use them aromatically through a diffuser or topically. Some try adding it to candles or soap, and there are even some essential oils that are diluted enough to add to food as well.
Essential oils are most commonly used in combination with yoga, especially when it comes to balancing the chakras.
