Orange Healing Benefits

In using orange one can learn to understand how the stomach tells us about our situation. We all know the butterfly feeling or the heavy sinking feeling before something is going to take place. The stomach often gives us the first warning when something is wrong, for instance an infection. If our spleen chakra is in balance we are able to enjoy our existence-take life as it is without asking for more than we can handle. Children often have a fine orange energy. They have the ability to enjoy themselves spontaneously and enjoy their play. If you have too much red in the orange this may make you angry and inconsiderate. Too much yellow in the orange may make you querulous and impossible to live with. You may have a nervous stomach if you cannot control your feelings. But if there is an excess of orange, one is easily affected by what other people feel or mean; one forgets to be oneself in a wish to satisfy other people. Orange is used to increase immunity, to increase sexual potency, to help in all digestive ailments, chest and kidney diseases. Orange will have a gentle warming effect if used lightly. Orange, like red should not be used for too long. It is not a good color for nervous people or people easily agitated.
