What is the Raindrop Technique?

Raindrop Technique is a powerful, non-invasive method to help the body back into structural and electrical balance. This form of bodywork assists people with a curvature of the spine, severe back pain, chronic pain, and tissue cleansing. Raindrop Technique was developed by D. Gary Young in the 80’s. It is based on his research of essential oils and what he learned form the Lakota Indian tribe. During a session, 100% therapeutic grade essential oils are applied to the feet and dropped onto the back like raindrops. By integrating massage with the Vita Flex Technique the essential oils are applied to the body.    

What is Vita Flex?

Vita Flex means “vitality through the reflexes”. When reflex points on the feet are stimulated it affects all internal body systems. Stanley Burroughs perfected Vita Flex in the 1960’s before acupuncture became popular in Western Medicine. Vita Flex is a rolling and releasing motion done with the fingertips. This method is performed on the reflex points on the feet and, when combined with 100% essential oils, causes an electrical impulse along the nerve pathways. This helps release blockages caused by damaged tissue, toxins, and loss of oxygen. When Vita Flex points are stimulated the whole body and mind can release many kinds of tension and imbalances.

Essential Oils used during Raindrop Technique

Oregano and Thyme are anti-viral.

Basil and Marjoram help with muscle spasms.

Peppermint and Wintergreen help reduce inflammation.

Cypress helps with circulation.

Two other essential oil blends, Valor and Aroma Siez, are used.

What are therapeutic grade essential oils?

Therapeutic grade essential oils are liquids distilled from shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes and seeds that have therapeutic qualities. Your body has a natural healing response and essential oils stimulate this response. For many centuries, essential oils have been used for physical, spiritual needs, the treatment of illness and religious rituals. Essential oils do not disturb the body’s natural balance.
