Modern Medicine has related the Throat Chakra to the Thyroid & the Parathyroid Glands, these being responsible for promoting normal body cells, they repair the blood cells, body cells and encourage brain growth. Most of what enters our body is done by passing through the Throat Chakra, the most important thing that enters our body is... Air! One technique to help align the Throat Chakra is to think about the quality of the air we breathe, to stand next to a Silver Birch or to stand inside the canopy of the Weeping Willow and inhale the life force streams gently, slowly and purposefully will help clear and balance this chakra.

It is located at the base of the throat.  (( Wikipedia ) In physiology the endocrine system is a system of glands, each of which secretes a type of hormone into the bloodstream to regulate the body. The endocrine system is an information signal system like the nervous system.)

The Throat Chakra is a light blue/turquoise and when balanced is the colour of a pool of water you dream of swimming in.
​
The blue colour is influenced from the middle of the heart chakra and as we consciously breathe out we influence the ether/pranic/akasha energy around us. Depending on where we are depends on how much of this air we breathe back in, a confined space means the air we breathe out also contributes to the air we breathe in, which in turn contributes to the atmosphere created around us. One negative person in a crowded confined space will quickly affect the crowd because of the inhalation of the negative energy produced, in the same environment a happy or excited smiley child will quickly lift the spirits of everyone in an identical situation.

Once again the palm chakras stimulate the throat chakra, also the ear, nose and Heart chakras have a huge influence over this first of the higher "spiritual" chakras. 
Common names associated for this chakra are: Throat, Fifth, Vishaddha, 16 petal lotus.
 
The Throat chakra develops from an early age and does not fully develop but between the ages of 25 to 35, this Chakra evolves into its own maturity. This chakra rotates anti-clockwise.
 
Of our five human senses, exploring the sense of sound, to both make the sound and to hear the sound will help balance this chakra. The throat chakra is paired with the root chakra, with one reminding the other of its own limitations, the root chakra concerns itself with the physical gestures used for communication, whilst this chakra essentially works with the spiritual or etheric lines of communication. The two complimenting each other perfectly.

The scent of a spring morning, or the air around a running stream will open and simplify this chakra. Equal breaths of a woman in childbirth, or the equal long and passive breaths of Grandfather snoozing are the key to the daily maintenance. Equal breaths in and out with a deliberate and conscious effort will enable easy and smooth communication.

An unbalanced or dirty Chakra is a potential cause for the body to physically or mentally manifest a variety of illnesses. If medical science is unable to diagnose an underlying cause or if the ailment is random or instant then this is potentially a cause worth considering.

The positive attributes to this beautiful blue Chakra are: Confidence, ability to see ourselves, truthfulness in speech, able to understand all forms of communication from all life force streams, expression of higher wisdom, natural teaching ability.

At the other end is the negative aspects brought forward from a soft, dull or shadowy chakra: Shy, reserved, unassuming, ego driven, power hungry, distance from people.

Physical manifestations may be: Mouth ulcers, problems with teeth, throat or tonsils, frequent cold and flu symptoms.
