The throat chakra (Vishuddha) is the fifth energy center in your body, located in the throat region.
A balanced and healthy blue chakra will allow you to express yourself clearly and creatively.

Here are some of the main functions of the throat chakra:
- Communication
- Purification

- Expression
- Authenticity
- Speak and listen
The dominant color of the throat chakra is light blue (turquoise) and the most effective stones for balancing your 5th chakra are also light blue.
