Raindrop Therapy
Introduction to the Technique
Gary Young incorporated into Raindrop Therapy (RT) nine of the most potent therapeutic-grade essential oils. All of these oils have been heavily researched. They were selected to synergistically combine to simultaneously kill viral and bacterial pathogens, reduce inflammation, support the immune system, ease respiratory discomfort, relax stressed muscles, curb digestive upset and relieve body and joint discomfort, as well as balance energy, lift the spirit, restore calm and increase the ability to concentrate.
The seven single essential oils used include:
- Oregano
- Thyme
- Basil
- Cypress
- Wintergreen
- Marjoram
- Peppermint
In addition, two essential oil blends, Valor and Aroma Seiz are incorporated into RT to further facilitate energy balancing (Valor) and muscle relaxation (Aroma Seiz).
The oils are dispensed like drops of rain from a height of about six inches above the back and feathered and massaged along the vertebrae and back muscles. Although the entire technique takes approximately 45 minutes to complete, the oils continue to work in the body for up to one week following RT, often with continued re-alignment taking place during this time.
Caution: RT 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. RT is only one tool to help restore balance in the body. Healthy eating habits and a positive open mind will also help prepare the body and skin to accept the oils better and more rapidly.
In sum, RT is one of the safest, noninvasive techniques available for spinal health. It is also an invaluable tool to promote healing from within using topically applied essential oils.
