Raindrop Technique is a powerful technique using essential oils developed by Dr. Gary Young in the 1980’s It combines several modalities to bring balance and transformation, to support body systems on a physical & emotional level. It combines unique, targeted massage with pure, authentic essential oils for a deeply harmonizing rejuvenating and relaxing experience. The technique is developed by Young Living Founder and CEO Dr. Gary Young. He draws from his experience with Lakota wellness traditions and provides a revolutionary means of aligning the body and mind. Using essential oils is an ancient practice in the early days dated back to Egypt. This practice is “natural” & “safe”. It is called RAINDROP THERAPY. It uses Essential Oils which promote energy & vitality, Essential Blends for balancing & rejuvenating the mind & body and Massage oils to bring about balance & electrical alignment

What is Raindrop Technique?

This technique involves applying therapeutic grade essential oils to the spine, neck and feet. The session lasts about an hour however the benefits may last up to a week or more.

Gary Young found that combining several holistic techniques, described below, created a synergistic effect for the body. The three modalities that combine to form Raindrop Technique are:

·         Aromatherapy – Raindrop technique uses seven single essential oils, two blends and one essential oil massage blend during the session. It is congruent with the French application of aromatherapy where essential oils are applied NEAT (undiluted) to the body.

·         Vita Flex Technique – Vita Flex was brought to the US in the 1920s by Stanley Burroughs. It is an ancient Tibetan methodology meaning "vitality through the reflexes". Its theory is based on the fact that slight pressure applied to the body creates an electric charge that is therapeutic to the body. This is known as piezoelectric.

·         Feather Stroking - This is similar to a massage term technique called effleurage. But this technique was actually termed by the Native American Indians.

How does Raindrop get its Name?

Essential oils are actually dropped from about 6 inches above your spine, simulating rain drops gently striking your spine, and it is very relaxing and comforting.

When the oils interact with a person's electric field before penetrating to the skin, it enhances the electromagnetic properties of the oils.

There are numerous benefits of the Raindrop Technique.

Do I have to remove all my jewellery?

Many people report feeling "energy" running through their bodies during the Raindrop Technique. The Raindrop Technique re-establishes the natural flow of inner energy. Metal can affect the flow of this current, so please removal all jewellery before the session (if it is easily removable). 

Should I shower after my Raindrop treatment?

The oils are in every cell of your body within 20 minutes of application. However, many people love to leave the essential oils on their skin for as long as possible.

Advisable to shower before the treatment

Will I experience any discomfort during the treatment?

Some of the essential oils used in the Raindrop Technique are warming to the skin. Oregano is considered 'hot' oil. This will be skin tested on the inside of your arm for possible skin sensitivity before each and every Raindrop treatment. If you do experience any itching, prickling, or heat on your skin, the practitioner will be able to easily cool the area down using a vegetable (carrier) oil... but only if you tell her!

Through the experience of the therapist, precautions will be taken for hot oils

Are there any "side effects" after getting a Raindrop treatment?

It should be noted that the Raindrop Technique encourages the detoxification of the body. Some may experience mild side effects. These mild side effects may include, emotional release/mood swing, headache, tiredness, sinus drainage, skin rash, soreness or strong smelling urine/stool. Most symptoms will pass in a day or two.

Some may feel relaxed, have a keen sense of awareness, or may be energized. Each person's experience will vary due to varying life circumstances of the individual.

Will I go through a detoxification process?

It is impossible to avoid toxic exposure in today's world. It is in the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe. These chemicals can build up in the body's tissues and pave the way for dis-ease.

Due to the penetrating properties of the essential oils, it is possible that you will experience a mild to moderate 'detox' after your first few Raindrop treatments if you either have an overload of toxins in your body or your body's channel of elimination (urine, bowel, breath, skin) are not working optimally.

You have a good chance of detoxing if you:

§  Have worked with a lot of chemicals, e.g. hairdresser, housecleaner

§  Have taken regular pharmaceutical or recreational drugs, or are a smoker

§  Have had a recent acute or long-term illness

§  Have a history of skin rash or headaches

How do I minimize the chance of getting detox symptoms?

You may wish to put these couple of suggestions into practice a week or two before your appointment.

§  The best advice is to drink plenty of filtered water before and after your Raindrop session. Ensure you have regular (daily) bowel movements.
