I just got my new Raindrop Technique kit from Young Living and am so excited to learn more about it!
Raindrop Technique combines the art of aromatherapy with the techniques of Vita Flex and massage in the application of essential oils to various areas of the body. Raindrop treatments bring balance and harmony to the body – physically, mentally, and emotionally.
When it comes to treating back pain – as well as knee pain, tight shoulders, and digestive system discomfort – it can be hard to find something that will bring the body’s systems into alignment. Raindrop treatment is one aid to solving these problems and more. The technique involves using nine essential oils that have been clinically tested to have antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties:
- Valor – a blend that integrates the body’s energies and can help align the spine and muscles of the back
- Oregano – a powerful antimicrobial oil. High in phenolpropanoids, which cleanse cell receptor sites.
- Thyme – antiseptic, immune enhancing, supportive of the body’s natural defenses.
- Basil – supports the muscular system, relaxes the muscles; mentally invigorating and energizing.
- Wintergreen – supports joints and skeletal structure. Stimulates the body’s own production of natural cortisone. Analgesic.
- Marjoram – Targets involuntary muscles, soothing to the nerves, antiseptic and antimicrobial.
- Cypress – Supports circulatory and lymphatic systems. Stimulates the body’s natural white corpusle production. Assists in restoring proper cellular programming.
- Peppermint – Supports digestive, respiratory and nervous systems. Detoxes liver.
- Aroma Siez – a blend that helps ease cramping and muscle soreness/pain
The Power of the Oils
The oils used in raindrop flush out toxins and kill dormant viruses and bacteria along the spine, restoring health to the entire system.
Raindrop requires almost no knowledge of, or skill in massage. Most of the efficacy of the technique is due to the oils. In fact, practitioners are discouraged from using other techniques at the same time as raindrop. It is the profound God-given healing properties of the oils (the “blood” of plants) which can bring healing where needed.
Only high quality therapeutic grade essential oils should be used with Raindrop Therapy.
How It’s Done
A person receiving raindrop lays facedown as oils are dropped up their back from a height of 6-12 inches. The oils are gently massaged in with a “feathering” motion. After the essential oils have been applied, a towel soaked in hot water is applied to the back to drive the oils further into the body.
Vitaflex, a foot reflexology technique, is used to apply the same oils to the spine reflexology points at the beginning of the raindrop.
Raindrop Technique Training, Here We Come!
In November, a friend and I will be attending a three-day training class on how to perform the Raindrop Technique. In addition to classes on the technique, we will also be learning about the healing oils of the Bible, the chemistry of essential oils and how to use the oils for emotional release.
Stay tuned for updates!
