Heart Harmony™ | An Essential Oil Blend from VerVita
™
“Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.” King Solomon, Proverbs
Heart History & Folklore
In the biblical book of Proverbs, it is evident that the Hebrews believed the heart
to be the seat of one’s being and origin of one’s thinking, speaking, feeling,
choosing, and doing. Early religious literature echoed this understanding that
“out of the heart of man” came all manner of evil thoughts and deeds as well as
good. Therefore, it was absolutely vital for the human heart to be quickened,
guarded, and nourished by wonderful words of wisdom for its continuing
wholeness, preservation, longevity, and well-being.
The Greeks and other cultures believed that one’s spirit resided in the heart. It was commonly
thought that the heart was an “inner book,” which contained one’s life record, as it were—the
sum of one’s lifetime of ideas, beliefs, emotions, memories, desires, longings, secrets, et
cetera. The human heart was perceived as much more than a physical pump; it was
understood and appreciated as a metaphysical persona.
Heart Disease of Body & Soul
“Heart disease” may be the leading cause of several hundred thousand deaths each year as
the result of innumerable cardiovascular disorders, not the least of which is the “broken heart”
syndrome with its labyrinthine layers of heartache in terms of guilt, grief, stress, fear, anxiety,
disappointment, and unrequited love—the list is legion.
Unlike conventional cardiology with its focus on physical therapy alone, today’s complementary
healthcare clinicians—ministers, counselors, chiropractors, naturopaths, and other “alternative”
therapists—must listen to their patients and speak to their metaphysical hearts—the “mental
heart” afflicted by hostility, depression, and stress; the “emotional heart” crushed by agonizing
loss; the “intelligent heart” disengaged from its cognitive communication with the brain and
other parts of the body; and the “spiritual heart” disconnected from its creator and fellow
creatures.
Heart Healing with Essential Oils
Skilled in the therapeutic application of essential oils, the health professional seeks to help the
hurting heart that yearns for a higher purpose and satisfaction in life. A clinician seeks to
provide positive wellness care wherein the goal is to change the focus from what causes a
heavy heart to what causes a happy heart. Essential oils may be the synergist, combining
with and increasing the effects of those things that cause a happy heart.
Heart Harmony™ from VerVita™ is a synergistic blend of some 15 essential oils formulated to
do foster healing for both the physical and metaphysical heart with the goal to reduce

pessimism and induce optimism for a happier heart and a healthier life—in short, to achieve
heart harmony. Extracted from a southwestern desert shrub and renowned for its moisturizing

cleansing wounds, Lavender in the Middle Ages was also employed for sexual
modulation and an aphrodisiac, as required. The pilgrims of the New World

paines of the head and brain.” Invaluable as a first aid antiseptic remedy, it comes in handy for
burns, wounds, sores, insect stings, scabies, head lice, and headaches.

Contact Reflex Analysis / Heart HarmonyTM Application
®
Corresponding to a CRA® Pulse of 70, Heart Harmony™ serves to support the synergism and
rhythm of the heart-brain relationship. Existing research indicates that the heart and brain
interact electrically, biochemically, and mechanically. The brain and heart send signals to one
another through the nervous system. Studies have shown that the heart sends more signals to
the brain than the brain to the heart. This communication is a dynamic “dialogue” with each
influencing the function of the other.
Throughout life, a person encounters many experiences. Through these experiences the brain
stores emotions and forms a variety of perceptions, which causes people to react or respond to
their world in unique ways. As the brain reacts, neural messages travel down the medulla to the
heart. These messages can affect the heart’s rhythm. The heart then communicates back to the
brain. Research has shown that the brain both identifies and obeys the messages from the heart.
The heart has the capability of sending positive life-giving messages to the brain. If these
messages are sustained, the brain can be brought into entrainment with the heart.
If, however, a person experiences pain and the heart is not able to release it, but instead stores
the pain, stores the emotions, stores the memory, it will become weak and ineffective. When the
heart is held captive by pain, the brain decides to take over as guide, governor, and counselor.
Unfortunately the brain has also reacte to and stored these same experiences. The brain will try
to use logic to override the emotions. Emotions, however, are created, sent out, and stored at a
faster rate than logical thinking. Logical thing cannot counter emotions without the help of the
heart for any extended period of time. Instead of fixing the problem the brain, also in captivity,
tends to make things worse. It will send its own messages of the pain, loss, and depression down
to the heart. The heart becomes overwhelmed and continues to be a prisoner to the pain.
 To bless a hurting or broken heart, daily rub Heart Harmony™ liberally downward over the
chest, upward on the back of the neck, and over the knees in the morning and evening at
bedtime.
 Those with broken hearts are encourage to take a hot, relaxing “spa” bath with 1 ounce of
Heart Harmony™ and three cupfuls of Epson salts—Lavender preferably—for 30 minutes
every 6-12 weeks.
 Soaking the feet in a hot foot bath, water above the ankles, with ½ ounce of Heart
Harmony™ and one cupful of Epson salts for 30 minutes at bedtime will yield similar
results.
Note: Best results occur with the “spa” baths when one has a full stomach. Eat before bathing or
having a foot bath.
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.
Contraindicated in pregnancy and lactation.
For Prevention and Maintenance daily apply Heart Harmony™ liberally downward over the chest,
upward on the back of the neck, and over the knees daily in the morning and evening at bedtime.
One can also choose to bathe or have a foot bath as described above, every 6-12 weeks.
