"RAINDROP technique is a powerful, non-invasive tool for assisting
the body in correcting defects in the curvature of the spine. During the
years that it has been practiced, it has resolved numerous cases of scoliosis
and kyphosis and eliminated the need for back surgery for thousands of
people. Raindrop Technique originated in the 1980s from the research of
Dr. Gary Young working with a Lakota medicine man named Wallace Black
Elk. It integrates Vitaflex and massage, utilizing the power of essential
oils in bringing the body into structural and electrical alignment."
(from the Essential Oils Desk Reference)
Raindrop Technique uses a sequence of essential oils that are immune
enhancing, support the body's natural defenses, as well as the circulatory,
respiratory, endocrine, digestive, nervous, and other body systems. These
oils, which are high in antioxidants, are also mood elevating and antiseptic,
creating an unfavorable environment for harmful viruses and baceria that
can hibernate in the body. Essential oils are known to boost stamina and
energy, help you relax, help manage stress and frustration and promote
overall health, vitality, and longevity. The principal single oils used
include:
Thyme (Thymus vulgaris)
Oregano (Origanum compactum)
Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens)
Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens)
Peppermint (Mentha piperita)
Basil (Ocimum basilicum)
Marjoram (Origanum majorana)
The oils are dispensed in little drops from a height of about six inches
above the back, which is where Raindrop Technique gets its name. They
are then massaged along the spine and back muscles. They are also applied
to the feet.
The whole process takes about an hour and may continue to work in the
body for up to one week following a Raindrop Session, with possible realignment
and bodily adjustment taking place during this time.
"Raindrop Technique is not a cure-all or a magic bullet. A healthy
balanced body is the result of a well-rounded program of exercise and
proper diet. Health is everything we do, say, hear, see, and eat. The
Raindrop Technique is only one tool to help restore balance in the body
that will result in good health." (from the Essential Oils Desk Reference")
