18 Best Essential Oils to Support Your Solar Plexus Chakra

The solar plexus chakra helps your ability to be confident and in control of your life. When it isn't in balance, you may feel like your life is constantly enduring hardships, poor decisions, or out of control. There are 18 essential oils, and a few essential oil blends, that are perfect for helping support your solar plexus chakra so you can move through life feeling confident and capable.

The solar plexus chakra is located in your upper abdomen, in the stomach area between your navel and breastbone.

The solar plexus chakra energy center, a fire center, is a source of power, digestion, and self awareness.

When the solar plexus is in balance, your digestion system runs efficiently, you maintain an excellent sense of self awareness, and instinctively employ appropriate assertiveness.

But when out of balance, your solar plexus chakra energy center manifests as excessive assertiveness, manipulation, or as a lack of direction or purpose.

The color associated with the solar plexus chakra is Yellow. 

One of my favorite ways to help keep our chakras in balance is using essential oils. Why? Chakras are essentially energy centers in your body, and essential oils carry specific energetic frequencies. When you look at your body on an energetic level, these frequencies tune in with each other to achieve an energetic balance.

How to use essential oils to support your solar plexus chakra

To use essential oils for your solar plexus chakra, you may diffuse or dilute and apply your oils topically to your skin. I recommend applying over your lower abdomen area over the solar plexus chakra point, and on the arches of your feet, especially towards the balls of your feet.

I personally LOVE wearing diffuser necklaces and occasionally wear diffusing bracelets. You can find my favorite beautiful diffusing jewelry mentioned in our guide to diffusing jewelry.

While using your oils to help open your solar plexus chakra, take some time to meditate or focus on a few affirmations, such as:

I am strong, confident, and powerful, ready to achieve my goals, and motivated to continue my life's purpose.

It also helps to make the affirmation more personal by replacing “I” with your first name, or to speak it to yourself while making eye contact with your reflection.
