In Raindrop Technique, a form of aromatherapy utilizing a sequence of Young Living therapeutic-grade essential oils, is a procedure for applying essential oils to the feet, back, and spine. It is based on the theory that many types of spinal misalignments and other disorders are caused by viruses or bacteria that lie dormant along the spine. Because most viruses, fungi, and bacteria cannot live in the presence of many essential oils, especially those high in phenols, carvacrol, thymol, and terpenes, these oils are utilized.
During the past ten years Raindrop Technique has become a widely used therapeutic protocol to ameliorate cases of viral infection, kyphosis, scoliosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and many other conditions and to provide a method of detoxification.
Nine essential oils are used in raindrop: 7 single oils and 2 therapeutic blends. A person receiving raindrop lays face down as oils are dropped up their back from a height of 6-12 inches. The oils are gently massaged in with the Lakota “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.
