One way to assist in the detoxification process is with an herbal detox tea. Herbal teas have been used for years for medicinal reasons, but also for taste and comfort. Today the market offers many varieties of herbals teas, and some that are specifically recommended for use during a detox. The good thing is that not only are they are caffeine free, and healthy, but the tea consumption counts as part of the daily fluid intake requirement.
Our detox tea is a delightful blend of herbs that provide a full organ cleanse. It has a very pleasant taste and provides support while going through the detoxification program.
The tea consists of Echinacea, licorice root, ginger root, dandelion root, dandelion leaf, burdock root, and pau d’ arco. Bring the herbs and eight cups of cold water to a simmer for 20-30 minutes and strain. Drink at least 4 cups throughout the day.

1 Day Supply $1.25 + tax

Balance Pendants
The Balance Pendants are transformational tools that help the wearer physically stay balanced as well as help with emotional balance and mental clarity. Each pendant is hand made of resin with quartz crystal of various sizes embedded in the resin. The crystals are then charged with a beneficial electromagnetic frequency that benefits the entire body physically, emotionally, and mentally.
The day-to-day stresses that all people are exposed to in sound, air, water pollution, food additives, negative electromagnetic frequencies emanating from cell phones, computers, TV’s, microwave ovens, and other appliances all take their toll. These Pendants offset the negativity and bring a harmony and balance into the body allowing peacefulness, calmness, and centeredness.
There are nine color pendants and one clear pendant that coordinate with the chakra system of the body. Chakra is a Sanskrit word for wheel or circle of energy. This denotes a wheel of energy that moves invisibly and governs the flow of energy to the major organs of the body, i.e. heart, brain, reproductive organs, etc.
Selection of the correct pendant is done with kinesiology or muscle testing the body. The body never lies and the muscles will respond with strength when the right color is selected.
Price:
1 Pendant $39.99 + tax
2 or more Pendants $35.00 = tax each
Volcanic Earth
Volcanic Earth is volcanic ash based clay used to detoxify the skin. It helps diminish cellulite, stretch marks, loose skin, discolorations, acne, and large pores. Also helps treat psoriasis, eczema, and muscle and joint pains.
Powerful and deep absorbency gives an immediate “pulling upwards” feel, helping to fight the past, present, and future effects of time, pollution, and the downward pull of gravity upon our surface facial features.
It works by drawing toxins out of the skin. Microscopic clay particles penetrate into pores, drawing out “skin choking” toxins and impurities. The pulling action of this super absorbent masque is like a “workout” for your entire body, face, and frontal neckline; giving your skin a firmer, smoother, more “fit” look. Strong “lifting up” and “pulling out” feel helps to diminish the appearance of lines, wrinkles, “crows feet”, expression lines, and cellulite. It exfoliates (removes) dead skin cells leaving your skin and complexion (neck too) incredibly soft and sleek, even after your first application.
The clay comes from the Aleutian Islands off the coast of Alaska. Volcanic eruptions formed the Aleutian Islands 150 million years ago.

Face/Neck and Body Masque
5 0z $29.95 + tax

Infant massage has been practiced by other cultures for centuries. Vimala Schneider McClure brought this ancient art to the United States in the 1970’s, after she observed the positive effect it had on infants in India.
Research specific to the benefits of infant massage has been ongoing since the mid 1970’s. This research has been conducted at various institutes and with infants who were premature, exposed to drugs in utero, and infants that had motor problems. All these categories of babies benefited from the nurturing touch of infant massage. These benefits included weight gain, neurological development, decreased hospitalization, and improved digestion.
Although it can seem like there is not much going on in a baby’s world, it is a new and exciting time for them. It may seem like they do little but eat, sleep and demand attention, with a regular diaper change thrown in for good measure – but they are learning more now than they will ever learn again in such a short period of time. Little wonder that it can take time to adjust, from being thrust rudely from a state of tranquility, warmth and comfort into a world of changing faces, cold winds, warm baths and, well, everything else that we see every day and take for granted.
Numerous studies have found that massage plays a significant role in promoting the proper growth and healthy development of infants. Physically, massage
Stimulates the nerves and neurological development
Increases blood flow
Strengthens the immune system.
Relieves discomfort from gas, colic, and constipation
Aids in digestion
Increases alertness/heightened awareness
Reduces stress hormones
It can relieve a host of childhood complaints from colic to constipation. Massaging the chest may ease congestion. Gently stroking an infant’s face can improve their ability to suck. We are not trying to suggest that will ensure that they will be a happy and easy child. But it may be able to ease some of the problems that you could encounter along the way.

Energy medicine recognizes energy as a vital, living, and moving force that determines much about our health and happiness. The body’s energies are key to health, vitality, and well-being. Energy medicine is the art and science of working with and teaching people to work with these energies to empower them to live happier, healthier lives. Long recognized by eastern cultures, subtle energy fields are only recently being studied and utilized by western medicine.
Energy Medicine is both a complimentary approach to traditional medical care, and a complete system for self-care and self-help. Healing takes place by activating the body’s natural healing energies and by restoring energies that have become weak, disturbed or out of balance.
Energy medicine utilizes techniques from a variety of global healing traditions such as:
Acupuncture
Reiki
Pranic Healing
Yoga
Kinesiology
Qi Gong
Flow, balance, and harmony can be non-invasively restored and maintained within an energy system by focused use of the mind to move specific energies; and/or by surrounding an area with healing energies. By working with simple energy techniques to keep you energies balanced and humming, you can improve your health, sharpen your mind, and increase your joy and vitality.
Specifically, Lotus Heart specializes in the following energy traditions:
Reiki
Reiki is a holistic alternative therapy based on Eastern concepts of energy flow and the chakras (energy centers) in the human body. Reiki was formulated by a Japanese teacher, Mikao Usui, around 1890, based on Vajrayana (Tibetan) Buddhism, but incorporates meditation techniques, beliefs, and symbols that are considerably older. It is distinctive among energy therapies in its emphasis on self-healing, its spiritual principles, and its accreditation of healers through a system of initiation. Reiki practitioners participate in the healing of emotional and spiritual as well as physical pain through the transmission of universal life energy, called “rei-ki” in Japanese. It is believed that ki flows throughout the universe, but that Reiki connects humans in a more direct way to the universal source. Reiki is used for the healing of animals as well as people. As of 2002, a research team at the University of Michigan is studying the effectiveness of Reiki in treating chronic pain in patients with diabetic neuropathy. Various other studies are also underway in the United States and Canada, some examining the efficacy of the therapy in coping with pain and anxiety.
Reiki is a safe, gentle, non-invasive form of hands-on healing. Recipients report their experience of Reiki includes increased energy, reduction of pain, deep relaxation and a general feeling of well-being. Reiki initiation attunes a practitioner to become a channel for the Reiki energy and is a powerful, life-changing experience for physical, mental and spiritual growth.
Although Reiki involves human touch, it is not massage therapy. The patient lies on a table fully clothed except for shoes while the practitioner places her or his hands over the parts of the body and the chakras in sequence. The hands are held palms downward with the fingers and thumbs extended. If the person is in pain or cannot turn over, the practitioner may touch only the affected part(s). Silence or music appropriate for meditation is considered essential to the treatment. Reiki healers practice daily self-healing, in which they place their hands in traditional positions on their own bodies. They may use touch, or distant/non-touch.
Pranic Healing
Pranic Healing is a comprehensive system of subtle energy healing utilizing “prana” or energy in balancing, harmonizing and transforming the body’s energy processes. “Prana” is a Sanskrit word that means “vital life force.” This invisible bio-energy keeps the body alive and healthy. In acupuncture, this subtle energy is called “chi.” It is also called “Ruah” or the “breath of life” in Hebrew.
It is a simple yet powerful and effective method of energy healing. It is based on the fundamental principle that the body is a “self-repairing” living entity, which possesses the innate ability to heal itself. Pranic Healing also works on the second principle that energy can be projected from one person to another. As a result, the healing process can then be accelerated by increasing the life force or vital energy on the affected part of the physical body.
Pranic Healing was created by a Chinese-Filipino energy master, and former chemical engineer/businessman, named Choa Kok Sui, who spent years researching the root teachings of esoteric systems such as yoga, chi kung, Kaballah, Chritianity, and many others in order to create a simple, practical, and effective energy healing system.
Kok Sui conculded that energy healing, at its most basic, consisted of clearing away dirty or diseased energy from the charkra and aura and replenishing it with fresh energy or prana. Given his background as a businessman and engineer Kok Sui set about to test the efficacy of his inquiries by applying a rigorous scienticfic approach to his work. He set up healing clinics across the Philippines to test the effectiveness of different energy healing systems. Ech patient who came in received a specific type of energetic treatment and the results or lack there of were recorded.
These healing clinics continued for nearly 30 years whil Kok Sui constantly tested and refined methods of cleaning out dirty or blocked energy and increasing the supply of healing energy. In 1987 Kok Sui introduced Pranic Healing to the world as a “best of the best” system of very specific instructions and sequences for cleansing and energizing parts of the body to achieve rapid healing.
Pranic Healing is actively used and practiced in over 80 countries and numerous healing centers around the world.
Practitioners realign the whole energy system to help initiate specific biochemical changes to accelerate the body’s innate ability to prevent and alleviate a wide spectrum of physical, emotional and psychological ailments.
What makes Pranic Healing unique is that it focuses on cleaning the bio-plasmic body prior to energizing and it prescribes specific sequenses of cleanising and energizing based on the particular ailment that a healer is working with
