Signs Of An Over-Active 1st Chakra
Individuals who have a persistently over-active 1st chakra express their disconnection from the world through an attempt to overcompensate by dominating their surroundings.
Aggressive feelings and behavior are common, and they seek to find the security they crave by proving themselves to be superior to others. Materialism, impulsiveness, and harmful sexual promiscuity can all be tied to an over-active 1st chakra.
Signs Of An Under-Active 1st Chakra
An under-active or blocked 1st chakra causes problems in the ways people interact with their surroundings, but they tend to be the reverse of those caused by an over-active chakra. With an under-active 1st chakra, it can be difficult to feel any sense of connection between the individual and the world. Sufferers may even feel disconnected from their own bodies. When the 1st chakra is too tightly closed, it becomes difficult to summon the energy necessary to interact with the world and find the motivation to change it.
Balance and Energize the Root Chakra through physical exercise of any kind, walking, spending time outdoors in nature, being closer to the earth (laying on the ground, walking barefoot on the grass, etc.,), stomping your feet upon the ground (or floor if indoors), marching, dancing, tai-chi, yoga, squats, playing any type of field sport. Get more actively involved in life and by creating more physically stability. Seek support from family, friends or community to feel more connected. Look for evidence that your world is safe and secure, and feel more at home in your own physical body.

HEMP Oils and Milk
Hemp is a rich source of gamma-linolic acid (GLA), an omega 6 fatty acid. Studies have shown that GLA is useful in helping the body balance hormones.
it also is a rich source of vitamin E. Vitamin E is an antioxidant essential for skin and overall health.
If you’re hoping to age gracefully, antioxidants are key. Over time, the body accumulates damage from environmental free radicals. Free radicals can wreak havoc on your DNA and cell membranes.
Yet another benefit of essential fatty acids is mood health. Endocannabinoids are essential for the mood. The endocannabinoid system regulates the release of neurotransmitters, some of which play major roles in conditions like depression and anxiety.
VANILLA
Antioxidant:
This property of vanilla essential oil alone can take care of most of your problems. You may not be aware of this important fact, but oxidation is one of the biggest causes behind most of our health troubles and diseases. It is directly and indirectly responsible for a number of diseases caused by organic malfunctions and infections. Oxidizers, also called free radicals, cause oxidation of living cells and tissues and burn them to death, or change their DNA structure to that of cancerous cells. Gradually, this result in a weakening of the body’s immune system, loss of memory, organic and nervous malfunctioning, gradual loss of vision & hearing, mental instability, muscular degeneration, and the body becomes prone to diseases.
The antioxidant property of vanilla essential oil neutralizes these free radicals and protects the body from wear and tear, infections and even some forms of cancer, such as those of the prostrate and colon. It also repairs the damage already done to the body and stimulates repair.
Aphrodisiac:
A systematic administration of vanilla essential oil to patients suffering from impotence, erectile dysfunction, frigidity, or loss of libido can relieve them of their problems. This oil stimulates the secretion of certain hormones like testosterone and estrogen which help bring about normal sexual behavior and promotes sexual arousal.
According to “Chemistry of Spices,” vanilla has been considered an aphrodisiac since the time of the Aztecs. In 1762, a study in Germany found that a medication containing vanilla cured male impotence. A study by the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation found that vanilla produced an increase in penile blood flow in male volunteers. Vanilla was especially effective in older men.
Anticarcinogenic:
To some extent, the anticarcinogenic property of vanilla oil comes from its antioxidant properties. The free radicals or oxidants do not only damage tissues, but can also cause certain type of cancers, such as those of the prostrate and colon. Certain components of the essential oil of vanilla curbs the growth of cancerous cells, thereby helping to cure, prevent, or slow down cancer.
Febrifuge:
Vanilla essential oil can effectively reduce fevers by fighting infections. The essential oil contains components like Eugenol and Vanillin Hydroxybenzaldehyde, which fight infections. Being a sedative, it also reduces inflammation from fevers, so it is also considered an antiphlogistic.
Antidepressant:
You were sitting alone, depressed. Then, someone brought you a vanilla ice cream cone or a vanilla-flavored drink. You drink it and suddenly, your spirits are lifted and the depression is gone! You start feeling pleased, satisfied and get into a much better mood. This is one of the biggest advantages of vanilla’s powerful aroma. It is far more effective if it comes from real vanilla, but synthetic vanilla or artificially synthesized Vanillin Hydroxybenzaldehyde works as well. The flavor alone is so pleasingly sweet and soothing that everyone from toddlers to centurions enjoy the flavor. Vanillin Hydroxybenzaldehyde, a component of vanilla essential oil, is an effective antidepressant and mood lifter.
Sedative:
The essential oil of vanilla soothes the body in innumerable ways. It soothes all types of inflammation and hyperactivity in the systems of the body, including the respiratory, circulatory, digestive, nervous and excretory systems. It reduces inflammation stemming from fever, as well as convulsions, anxiety, stress, and hypersensitivity to allergens.
Relaxing:
Vanilla has a relaxing and calming effect on the brain and the nerves that provides relief from anxiety, anger, and restlessness.
Tranquilizing:
Vanilla Essential Oil helps you to get good night’s sleep as well. This is due to the sedative and relaxing properties of this oil. It lowers blood pressure and has a tranquilizing effect on the brain that makes it hard to keep your eyelids open. A small amount of vanilla essential oil or extract and the only thing you care about is pillows and dreams!
Other Benefits: It helps to regularize menstruation (although not exactly an emenagogue) by activating certain hormones like estrogen.

The potent avocado feeds both men and women with a multitude of nutrients essential to a healthy sex life. Vitamin B6, folic acid, essential fatty acids and potassium, as well as other powerful antioxidants are responsible for the avocado’s significant effect on our reproductive organs. The sexual powerhouse ahuactl (or testicle, as the Aztecs endearingly called it) also releases vitamin E, which allows the reproductive hormones to take center stage while arousing our sexual response.
