Raindrop is a technique that incorporates massage, Native American healing, Tibetan Vita Flex and an intensive application of therapeutic quality essential oils on the feet and spine.
There are many different variations of the technique -even among those learning straight from Dr. Gary Young, the creator of the technique. ALL variations make use of Young Living Essential Oils becasue they are the only producer in America that regularly tests both the oils it grows and the oils it purchases to assure that they meet the purity and quality standards required for intensive uses of essential oils. This is not the lotions and soaps type of aromatherapy you may have gotten acquainted with. It is not reccommened to perform any intensive aromaTHERAPY technique with oils from a producer who will not answer some basic questions for you…
See “Distilation and Purity of Oils”
The Raindrop technique uses 7 single Therapeutic quality essential oils and 2 blends as well as a high quality massage oil imbued with additional essential oils. This technique should only be attempted with oils that are indeed pure and of therapeutic quality. The easiest way to know is to purchase only Young Living Essential Oils. The oils used in the process include Oreganum compactum (oregano), Thymus vulgaris (thyme), Ocimum basilicum (basil), Cupressus semipervens (cypress), Gaultheria procumbens (wintergreen), Origanum Majorama (marjoram, (Mentha peperita (peppermint). The blends are Valor- an energy balancing blend, and Aroma Seize, a muscle relaxing blend.
The oils are dropped onto the back like drops of rain from about 6 inches high, and they are feathered and “massaged” along the vertebrae and back muscles. The full technique with feet and spine takes about 75 to 90 minutes, and just the back alone is approximately 45 to 60 minutes.
The oils work together to fight bacteria, viruses, and fungi, to reduce inflammation, to support circulation, the immune system and to relax both voluntary and involuntary muscles. The oils also act as a natural solvent to help to loosen debris including cellular metabolic debris and accumulated toxins that we experience daily.
