What is the Raindrop Technique?
The Raindrop Technique is a method of applying oils to the feet and back. It has tremendous benefits. Developed by Gary Young initially to help with scoliosis. However, it works so well in supporting the entire body including the emotional and spiritual systems that the Raindrop Technique is now used to help with a wide array of issues and to support our general health.
The Raindrop Technique also incorporates the Vitaflex technique and the power of essential oils in bringing the body into structural and electrical alignment. The term, “Vitaflex”, means “Vitality through the Reflexes” and involves the gentle pressing and rolling of the fingertips at specific Vitaflex points. The currants so generated are thought to be of therapeutic value.
The Raindrop Technique is consistent with the French model for aromatherapy. It uses a sequence of essential oils that are immune enhancing, supporting the body's natural defenses, as well as the circulatory, respiratory, endocrine, digestive, nervous and other body systems.
The Benefits of Raindrop Therapy are Numerous. The application of essential oils can help to relieve tension headaches, ease stress and anxiety, improve sleep quality and boost energy levels. In addition, raindrop therapy can help to improve circulation, reduce inflammation and ease muscle aches and pains. If you are looking for a way to relax and rejuvenate, raindrop therapy may be just what you need!
How Does Raindrop Therapy Work?
Raindrop Therapy begins with the application of a variety of essential oils applied to the body in a specific way and in sequential order. The oils are massaged into the skin using slow, rhythmic strokes.
Essential oils are dispensed like drops of rain from a height of about 6 inches along the spine. It feels like raindrops gently striking your spine and it is very relaxing and comforting. The theory of dropping oils from this height is to allow the oils, which possess electromagnetic properties, to fall through the electromagnetic field of the client before touching the skin. The oils are thought to interact with the client’s electric field in a beneficial way before being absorbed through the skin.
What are the Benefits?
There are numerous benefits of the Raindrop Technique, some of which are listed below. The benefits of the Raindrop Technique may not all be apparent immediately following the session. Adjustments can continue for up to a week.
- Helps Detox the Body Systems – The essential oils being high in phenols cleanse cellular receptor sites and enhance the lymphatic system detox of the body.
- Re-aligns the Spine in a Non-Manipulative Manner – Microbes along the spine contribute to deformities and can be the cause of spinal diseases such as scoliosis. The essential oils of oregano, marjoram, thyme and basil have anti-viral and/or anti-bacterial properties. Most people experience a slight increase in their height! This is due to the realignment of the spine and detoxification along the spinal column.
