Raindrop

Raindrop Technique is a gentle and relaxing health promoting process that involves applying therapeutic grade essential oils to the feet, back and spine. It is a form of aromatherapy developed by D. Gary Young, founder of Young Living Oils and inspired by Lakota traditions.

Raindrop combines various aspects of Native American healing techniques with aromatherapy. It utilizes the power of essential oils and feather stroking touch to assist in bringing the body into structural and electrical alignment.

At least nine highly antimicrobial essential oils are “vitaflexed” (a gentle pressing and rolling movement) onto the feet. In addition these same oils are dropped and feathered gently along the spine from waist to neck.

Within 20 minutes each of the oils is able to reach every cell of the body. The process takes about an hour to complete, however the oils will continue to work in the body for up to a week following a treatment.

Benefits may include: a boost to the immune system, detoxification of petrochemicals, cessation of cold or flu symptoms, relief from stress or anxiety, alleviation of muscle and nerve pain, and relief of chronic back pain. Conditions such as viral infections, scoliosis and chronic fatigue also benefit form this technique. Some who have received a Raindrop procedure have reported a release of emotions such as grief and fear patterns.

In rare cases headaches, tiredness, and nausea may be experienced as a result of the detoxification of the body. These symptoms are temporary.
