Vishuddha translates to pure, established, thoroughly settled
A person with a healthy throat chakra does not randomly give opinions without prior knowledge
The location of the throat chakra is in the neck, brain stem area, in particular in the medulla obloganta
This makes the throat chakra all about communication and coordination internally (within ourselves) and externally (within our community)

One of the ways to stimulate your throat chakra is through singing, whether it is good singing or bad singing :-)
Gargling with coconut oil is another way to stimulate your throat chakra
The element associated with the throat chakra is the ether, or space
Space is what allows for communication and coordination of the other four elements to take place
Mutual listening allows for the creation of common ground between two parties

Breathwork with retention after inhalation, or exhalation, or both, is a very powerful strengthener for the throat chakra

In terms of food, think fasting, think honey
