Immune Harmony
™
An Essential Oil Blend from VerVita™
Medicine to produce health must examine disease; and music, to create harmony must
investigate discord. Plutarch – Greek Biographer
Immune Harmony™ captures the essence of several essential oils to maximize
the effectiveness of the body’s immune filtering systems. The bladder, lymph
glands, tonsils, spleen, and the sinuses are the principal sites responsible for the
routine and persistent filtering, detoxifying, and cleansing of the body’s
biochemical pathways. This harmonious blend of oils, given their ancient
healing properties, works to generate a powerfully personalized, hygienic
response in patients plagued by such common complaints as allergies, head
colds, coughs, sinus issues, eczema, rashes, hives, urinary tract infections, swollen tonsils and
lymph glands, fever, headaches, and dry eyes.
Essential Oils of Immune Harmony™
Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia)
As perhaps one of the most effective natural antiseptics with an intense
medicinal aroma, Tea Tree oil ought to be found in every home’s medicine chest.
This Australian aboriginal remedy, like oregano oil, offers broad-spectrum,
antimicrobial properties making it ideal for dealing with viral, bacterial and fungal
infections.
Belonging to the Myrtaceae family along with Clove, Eucalyptus and Myrtle—all potent antiinfectious agents—Tea Tree oil clinical trials have shown it to be therapeutically efficacious not
only because it is detrimental to all three categories of infectious organisms, but more
importantly because it is a powerful immunostimulant especially for those with debilitating
illnesses.
Historically, Tea Tree oil has been used for athlete’s foot, acne, blisters, burns, herpes, rashes,
warts, infected wounds, respiratory issues, thrush, vaginitis, cystitis, sinusitis, fungal infection,
ringworm, and candida albicans. Since it is not a skin irritant, it can be applied directly to the
skin for general cleansing and purifying as well as specifically for cold sores (at the first
burning sensation), for shingles and chicken pox blisters, for warts (applied over time), and for
acne as a skin wash. Finally, Tea Tree oil bath and massage is often recommended before
surgery as a preventative.
Thyme Serpolet (Thymus serpyllum)
Perhaps better known for its culinary properties and ability to delay
putrefaction of meat and slow down proliferation of bacterial microbes in
warm climates, Wild Thyme has been a prized substance from the time of
Hippocrates and Dioscorides. The Greek language accounts for the origin its
name (from thymos meaning “perfume”).

Thymic actions include antiseptic, antibacterial, antiviral, and immune and digestive stimulant.
Historical usage includes sluggish circulation and digestion, diabetes, worms, gastroenteritis,
urinary tract infections, cystitis, vaginitis, impotence, nervous exhaustion, bronchitis, cold and
flu, throat infection, sinusitis, hair loss and scalp psoriasis. The antiseptic properties of Thyme
are effective with infections in all the systems of the body, especially the respiratory system.
When confronted by intractable colds, coughs and sore throats, the “old wives” knew what
they were doing in using Thyme as a pulmonary disinfectant through inhalation for nose,
throat, and chest infections, not to mention as a mouthwash or gargle.
In addition to raising low blood pressure, Thyme is known for stimulating production of white
blood cells, which strengthens the body’s resistance to invading organisms, and helps fatigued,
depressed, and lethargic people. Stimulation of the cognitive function and memory are bonus
effects of this multi-faceted essential oil called Thyme.
Lavender High Altitude (Lavandula vera)
The Mediterranean Lavandula vera or True Lavender is by most accounts
probably the best loved and most widely used essential oil in all of
aromatherapy. It is without doubt the most versatile all-purpose oil for all the
body’s systems. Its universal popularity, however, accounts for its diminishing
worldwide supply.
From the Latin lavare meaning “to wash,” Lavender traditionally was renowned for working
well in cleansing wounds and treating war injuries by virtue of its antiseptic and analgesic
properties. In medieval times it was considered to be both an aphrodisiac as well as a libido
killer. Its properties are legion: sedative, refreshing, rejuvenating, tonic, bactericide, antiseptic,
anti-inflammatory, antifungal, analgesic, antidepressant, decongestant, hypotensive, and
vermifuge. Historical usage: skin disorders, insect bites, earache, colic, nausea, headache,
itching, abdominal cramps, insomnia, nervous exhaustion, and stress.
 Cinnamon Bark (Cinnamomum zeylanicum)
Today we typically think of Cinnamon as a culinary spice for cakes and
cookies, candies, candles, hot apple cider and fruit salads. In ancient times,
however, Cinnamon was used medicinally for thousands of years by such
cultures as the Chinese, the Egyptians (as an embalming fluid), and the
Hebrews, Cinnamon is an ancient herbal medicine referenced by the Jewish Torah in the 5th c.
BC as the holy oil of the tabernacle, and by Hildegard of Bingen in the 12th c. AD as “the
universal spice for sinuses.” During the Roman era religious temples featured decorative
wreaths of cinnamon leaves as well as the more traditional laurel leaves. Indian Ayurvedic
medicine considered Cinnamon to be an aphrodisiac and general tonic.
Historically, Cinnamon was used for lice, mouth care, warts, diarrhea, intestinal infection,
indigestion, chills, influenza, infectious disease, and in short for many cancers. Cinnamon folk
remedies included hot tea with ginger and caraway to prevent blood clotting in pregnancy, to

stimulate uterine muscles and contractions in birthing, and to reduce bleeding in menorrhagia,
as well as the nausea or vomiting of pregnancy.
Cinnamon does much more than provide a fresh, spicy comforting aroma for energizing,
focusing, revitalizing, and enhancing reasoning; it acts upon the immune system by
stimulating circulation, supporting digestion, by reason of its antimicrobial (viral, bacterial),
and antiparasitic activities. Conditions which may benefit from Cinnamon include bronchitis,
candida, diabetes, dyspepsia, fever, heartburn, herpes, menstrual pain, rheumatism,
tuberculosis, and diabetes by minimizing insulin for glucose metabolism.
Cinnamon’s complex chemical structure accounts for its premier property of balancing both
body and soul to enable the healing process to take place. Its usage today, then, address
hysteria, manic depression, fluctuating moods, arthritis, asthma, boils, bronchitis, bruises, cold
sores, convulsions, depression, earaches, hay fever, headaches, heart irregularities
(palpitations), high blood pressure, hives (urticaria), infection, influenza, migraines, mucus,
nervous tension, pineal gland activation, respiratory issues, skin conditions, sunburn and
stroke, tension, tuberculosis wounds, etc.
One of cinnamon’s most important uses, especially when enhanced by other essential oils such
as majoram and rosemary, is for the relief of muscular pain such as that in menstrual and
childbirth pain, and minor conditions in babies such as colic. Another literally vital attribute of
cinnamon is its ability to stimulate growth of new cells—a property shared with two other
essential oils, Tea Tree and Neroli.
 Blackcurrant (Ribes nigra) Tincture
This small blackberry tincture, in addition to suggesting life extension
properties in animal studies and reducing the incidence of skin cancer, supports
digestion (prevents and alleviates diarrhea), vision (improves night vision), and
immunity by inhibiting the proliferation of candida albicans, suppressing the
growth of Escherichia coli, inhibiting replication of the herpes simplex virus type I, opposing influenza A & B viruses, increasing resistance to viral, tick-borne encephalitis,
and perhaps even inhibiting the generation of superoxide free radicals.
 Artichoke (Cynara scolymus) Tincture
A tincture of Globe Artichoke leaves supports the digestive system by
stimulating appetite, alleviating constipation and flatulence, improving
gallbladder function, preventing gallstones, alleviating indigestion, intestinal
cramping, irritable bowel syndrome, and vomiting. Supporting metabolism,
Artichoke manifests antioxidant properties, improves bile secretion, lowers
cholesterol (and LDL oxidation) and triglycerides, alleviates cholestasis, regenerates liver like
Milk Thistle, and inhibits excessive alcohol from causing fatty liver.

 Elecampane (Inula helenium) Tincture
This perennial European and Asian herb supports the gastrointestinal system
(by eliminating intestinal parasites), the immune system (by inhibiting and/or
killing detrimental bacteria, such as the deadly mycobacterium tuberculosis),
and the respiratory system (by treating asthma, bronchitis, coughs, and
emphysema).
Immune Harmony™ & Contact Reflex Analysis®
Corresponding to a CRA® PULSE of 30—Malnutrition/Gout/Sick Bladder (“Septic Tank
Backup”)—Immune Harmony™ may serve to improve immune function and its common
symptoms of immune insufficiency, viz., colds and influenza, corns and bunions, varicose and
spider veins, incontinent bladder, cellulitis, and cystitis.
For those with compromised immune systems Immune Harmony™ can be applied
directly to the forehead, chest, or bottom of the feet. Alternatively, these blended oils
may be simply rubbed on the bottom of the feet and the right and left groin twice daily
for ten days. Diluting the drops with high quality a carrier oil such as grape seed oil or
olive oil will prevent skin irritation in sensitive areas.
 Additionally, bathing or soaking the feet above the ankles in a hot tub with one ounce
of Immune Harmony™ and three cupfuls of natural Epsom salts for an one-half hour
(repeat as necessary one time per week for up to three weeks), which may stimulate
the immune system as needed.
 Patients who are unable to enter a bathtub can soak their feet in a hot foot bath, water
above the ankles, with 1 ounce of Immune Harmony™ and 3 cupfuls of Epson salts
for 1 hour. Add additional warm water as needed to keep the footbath comfortable and
relaxing.

Note: Best results occur with the “spa” baths when one has a full stomach.
bathing or having a foot bath.
Eat before
Side Effects: Few experience a rash, slight fever or burning sensation when the immune
system begins to work hard to cleanse the body. If this occurs add additional Epson salt or
Magnesium Chloride to the water to reduce the fever and cool the burning sensation. If one
feels faint, weak, or has a difficult time “catching their breath”, test for anemia. As essential
oils are absorbed, they utilize the oxygen in the cells. If one is anemic, there is not enough
oxygen moving through the body.
It should be noted that patients should not be discouraged from employing other
investigational strategies which may afford additional clinical advantage in their clinical
outcome.
Contraindicated in pregnancy and lactation.
