Some days, everything just feels… off. Like your confidence evaporated overnight, and your sense of stability packed its bags. When that happens, your root chakra might be calling for your attention.
The root chakra, or Muladhara, is the foundation of your entire energy system. It governs your sense of safety, survival, and support. When it’s balanced, you feel grounded, secure, and connected to the Earth. But when it’s blocked or out of alignment, it can stir up restlessness, fatigue, worry, and even physical symptoms like back pain or constipation.
Herbal tea is one of the most soothing and accessible ways to support this chakra—and it’s a beautiful way to slow down and ground yourself with intention.
How Do I Know If My Root Chakra Is Out of Balance?
The root chakra sits at the base of the spine and is associated with your physical body, especially your lower back, kidneys, legs, and feet. It also governs emotional safety, financial stability, and the basic sense of “I am safe. I belong. I am supported.”
When balanced, you feel:
- Calm and steady
- Confident in your ability to meet your needs
- Connected to your body and environment
When imbalanced, you may experience:
- Anxiety or fear
- Overwhelm or difficulty focusing
- Low energy or chronic worry
- Disconnection from your body
- Digestive issues, fatigue, or lower back discomfort
Thankfully, a few simple grounding practices—like spending time in nature or sipping a cup of herbal tea—can help bring this chakra back into balance.
Grounding Practices for Root Chakra Healing
You don’t need a complicated routine to support your root chakra. These simple actions can bring powerful results:
- Walk barefoot on the earth or grass
- Garden, hike, or sit quietly in nature
- Meditate outdoors and listen to the sounds of the Earth
- Use essential oils like cedarwood, patchouli, or sandalwood
- Sip herbal teas with grounding properties
Herbal Teas to Support the Root Chakra
Each chakra resonates with certain herbs, and the root chakra loves warm, earthy, grounding ingredients. Here are three beautiful root chakra–supporting teas from Mountain Rose Herbs that can help you reconnect with your body and the Earth.
Forests Tea: Rooted & Robust
This rich and warming tea blend is exactly what its name suggests—like a peaceful walk through the woods. Forests Tea combines cassia cinnamon bark, fennel seed, ginger root, licorice root, and orange peel to create a soothing, earthy cup that encourages you to ground your energy and settle your nervous system.
Persephone’s Tea: Soothing for Transitions
Overworked? Stressed? Struggling with changes or challenges? Persephone’s Tea is a blend created for transitions. With its deeply rooty and comforting ingredients, this tea is like a hug for your hardworking body and a balm for your overactive mind.
Turmeric Ginger Tea: Warm, Earthy, and Energizing
Ginger is a root chakra powerhouse—warm, bold, and deeply connected to the Earth. Paired with turmeric, this blend is both comforting and strengthening. Turmeric Ginger Tea is the perfect blend to awaken your body and remind you of your inner resilience.
How to Make Root Chakra Sun Tea
One of my favorite ways to make herbal tea—especially in the warmer months—is by using the sun’s energy. It’s easy, eco-friendly, and infuses your tea with a little extra solar magic.
To make Sun Tea:
- Fill a large glass jar with filtered water (about 1 quart).
- Add 2–4 tablespoons of loose herbal tea (or 3–4 tea bags).
- Seal the lid and place the jar in direct sunlight for 3–5 hours.
- Once brewed to your liking, strain the tea and refrigerate.
- Serve chilled or over ice with a slice of orange, lemon, or fresh mint.
You can also say a quick grounding affirmation as you set the jar out in the sun:
“I am rooted. I am safe. I am supported by the Earth.”🌱
Let your tea absorb the light while you soak up a little grounding time yourself.
Root Yourself in Ritual
Whether you’re feeling scattered or just craving more calm, adding herbal tea to your routine is a gentle, nourishing way to ground your energy. Sip slowly. Breathe deeply. Let the Earth remind you that you belong.
