This is how you strengthen the root chakra:
In everyday life: lots of exercise in the fresh air, walking barefoot, rhythmic music with drums, red clothes and flowers.
With yoga: anything that works the feet, knees, legs, pelvis and sacro-coccygeal area. Standing postures and forward bends.

Blockages/disorders: Frigidity and impotence, as well as sex addictions, can be signs of an impaired sacral chakra. Physically, the disorder manifests as obesity (wanting to keep everything) or anorexia (not wanting to take anything). On an emotional level, loneliness, envy, jealousy and sadness are symptoms.

Glands: Pancreas, Adrenal glands

With yoga: twisting exercises and postures that affect the abdominal organs. Example: the twisting seat - Ardha Matsyendrasana.
Through diet: carbohydrates (potatoes, bread, rice, pasta) serve as energy food. It is best to go for whole grain products as the body absorbs them more slowly. Sugar acts as a stimulant and damages the third chakra in the long run. An addiction to sweets indicates an imbalance in the solar plexus chakra - which can also be the cause.

With yoga: eye exercises and meditations on the third eye.
With diet: For this and also for the seventh chakra, it is not really possible to give dietary recommendations, since they do not have to do with physical but with mental states. Thus, fasting corresponds most closely to the two upper chakras.
