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.
