Raindrop Technique

Raindrop technique was developed as a result of research by D. Gary Young and a Lakota medicine man in the 1970’s. It is based on the theory that many forms of spinal misalignments are caused by muscle spasms and inflammation-producing bacteria and viruses that lie dormant along the spine. Raindrop technique combines essential oils with massage and Vita Flex Technique to improve structural and energy balance in the body. Once a body is properly aligned, it can function more efficiently and effectively.

Vita Flex Technique is a specialized form of hand and foot massage that is especially effective in delivering the benefits of essential oils throughout the body. In contrast to the steady stimulation of reflexology, Vita Flex uses a rolling and releasing motion that involved placing all four fingers flat on the skin and rolling them with medium pressure.

Raindrop Technique uses a sequence of highly antimicrobial essential oils designed to reduce inflammation. The principle oils used are: thyme, oregano, wintergreen, cypress, peppermint, basil and marjoram. The oils are applied like drops of rain from a height of about 6 inches above the back and massaged along the vertebrae with various techniques. Heat or cold is then applied to the back, followed by gentle traction to the spine.

Vita Flex Technique is a specialized form of hand and foot massage that is especially effective in delivering the benefits of essential oils throughout the body. In contrast to the steady stimulation of reflexology, Vita Flex uses a rolling and releasing motion that involved placing all four fingers flat on the skin and rolling them with medium pressure.

Raindrop technique takes about 45 minutes, but the oils will continue to work in the body for 5 to 7 days following the treatment. Re-alignment with continue during this time.

Essential Oils

Essential Oils are the “life force” of the plant. They are stored in special cells that are distributed among the roots, leaves, bark stems and flowers of the plant. They protect the plant from insects and other herbivores as well as bacteria, molds fungi and other microorganisms. They also help the plant heal from inflicted wounds. These unique characteristics make essential oils highly beneficial to humankind. A single oil may contain hundreds of constituents that are molecularly aligned in exactly the right manner to trigger a number of responses in the human body. Very concentrated and very powerful, a drop or two of distilled therapeutic-grade essential oil produces quick and significant results.
