THE RAINDROP TECHNIQUE

The Raindrop Technique is a powerful yet gentle and non-invasive way of applying therapeutic-grade essential oils to the back. The oils used in this procedure may help bring the body into electrical and structural alignment and create an environment that promotes physical, mental, and emotional balance and harmony. The technique originated in the 1980s from the research of D. Gary Young, N.D. (founder of Young Living Essential Oils™) and Lakota medicine man Wallace Black Elk. It integrates Vita Flex technique (“vitality through the reflexes”) and gentle touch with therapeutic-grade essential oils. Vita Flex is said to have originated in Tibet thousands of years ago, and was perfected in the 1960s by the late Mr. Stanley Burroughs.

The Raindrop Technique is based on the theory that many types of spinal misalignments are caused by viruses and bacteria that lie dormant along the spine. Most viruses, fungi, and bacteria cannot live in the presence of many essential oils, especially those high in phenols, carvacrol, thymol, and terpenes, as are many of the oils used in The Raindrop Technique.

The technique uses a sequence of essential oils. The oils generally used are Valor (blend), Oregano, Thyme, Basil, Marjoram, Wintergreen, Cypress, Peppermint, and Aroma Siez (blend), plus Ortho Ease Massage Oil. The oils are dispensed like little drops of rain, from a height of about six inches above the back, and then lightly stroked into the muscles on each side of the receiver’s spine. This stimulates the nerves of the skin to help distribute and absorb the oils.

The entire process takes about an hour to complete, but the oils continue to affect the body for up to five to seven days following the session, with additional benefits taking place during this time.

The Raindrop Technique is not a cure-all or a magic bullet, but it does provide a wonderfully relaxing experience of being pampered and nurtured and of being aided by the healthful benefits of therapeutic-grade essential oils.

A healthy body is the result of a well-rounded program of exercise and proper diet. Health is everything we do, say, hear, see, eat, and drink.

The Raindrop Technique is only one tool to help restore balance in the body that will result in better health. Healthy eating habits help prepare the body and skin to accept the oils better and more rapidly. An overall balanced approach to good health is essential. *
