The Root Chakra Essential Oil Blend from Azlok is an earthy, grounding aromatherapy blend of cedarwood, frankincense, myrrh and patchouli, designed to be diffused or applied (well diluted) to encourage a sense of stability and calm. It is a liquid blend, yellow to dark yellow in colour, with a light consistency and a two-year shelf life.
If you enjoy heavier, woody-resinous aromas rather than sweet or citrusy ones, this blend will feel right at home. The root chakra is traditionally associated with feeling settled and secure, and these four oils are among the most classic choices for that mood.
What is in the blend
Each of the four oils brings its own character:
- Cedarwood – dry, woody and warm; a familiar base note in many grounding blends.
- Frankincense – resinous and slightly sweet, long used in meditation and prayer.
- Myrrh – deep, earthy and balsamic, pairing naturally with frankincense.
- Patchouli – rich and musky, the note most people recognise as "earthy."
Together they create a low, steady aroma rather than a bright one. It suits evening wind-downs, quiet reading, yoga or a simple grounding routine.
How to use it
There are a few easy ways to bring this blend into your day:
- Diffusion: Add 4–6 drops to an electric or water diffuser. Start low and build up—these are strong, lingering aromas.
- Topical application (diluted): Mix with a carrier oil such as coconut, jojoba or sweet almond before applying to skin. A safe everyday guideline is 1–2% dilution, roughly 1–2 drops of blend per teaspoon of carrier oil. Common spots include the soles of the feet, the base of the spine or the wrists.
- Meditation and breathwork: Place a drop on a tissue or a personal inhaler and breathe slowly during your practice.
- Room mist: Combine a few drops with distilled water and a small amount of a solubiliser in a spray bottle, and shake well before each use.
Safety notes worth reading
Essential oils are concentrated, so a little care goes a long way:
- Always dilute before applying to skin. Never apply neat.
- Do a patch test on your inner forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use.
- Do not ingest. This blend is for aromatic and diluted topical use only.
- Keep well out of reach of children and pets, and away from eyes.
- If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or managing a health condition, check with a qualified practitioner first.
- Diffuse in a ventilated room and take breaks rather than running a diffuser for hours.

Buying and storage tips
Azlok offers the Root Chakra Essential Oil Blend from small 100 Gm sizes up to bulk 5 KG and 10 KG packs, so both home hobbyists and small candle- or soap-making businesses can buy what they need. The 100 Gm size is priced at ₹449, which makes it easy to try before committing to a larger quantity.
To protect the aroma and get the full two-year shelf life:
- Store in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Keep the cap tightly closed to slow oxidation.
- Use clean, dry droppers to avoid contamination.
- Colour naturally ranges from yellow to dark yellow—slight variation between batches is normal for a natural blend.
Simple ways to build it into a routine
Consistency matters more than quantity. Diffuse it for ten minutes before an evening meditation, or keep a small roller bottle (pre-diluted) on your desk for a grounding moment during a busy day. Because patchouli and cedarwood are strong fixatives, the scent tends to stay on skin and in the room longer than lighter oils—so start small.

What does the Root Chakra blend smell like?
Earthy, woody and resinous. Patchouli and cedarwood give it a deep base, while frankincense and myrrh add a warm, slightly sweet incense-like quality.

No. Always dilute it in a carrier oil—about 1–2 drops per teaspoon—before applying, and patch-test first.
How many drops should I use in a diffuser?
Begin with 4–6 drops in a standard water diffuser and adjust to your room size and preference. These oils are potent, so less is often enough.
How long does it last?
The blend has a two-year shelf life when stored in a cool, dark place with the cap tightly closed.
Is this blend safe to eat or drink?
No. It is meant only for aromatic diffusion and diluted topical use. Do not ingest essential oils.
