“Raindrop Technique” is a powerful essential oil application technique. 

How is Raindrop Technique done?

This technique involves applying Young Living therapeutic grade essential oils to the spine, neck and feet. The application session lasts a little over an hour, however the benefits may last up to a week or more.  Gary Young (founder of Young Living) found that combining several holistic techniques, described below, would create 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 slight pressure applied to the body to create an electric charge that is therapeutic. This is known as piezoelectric.
• Feather Stroking – This is a light, stroking movement similar to the French technique called effleurage. But this technique was actually termed by the Native American Indians.
