RAINDROP TECHNIQUE

WHAT IS THE RAINDROP TECHNIQUE?

raindrop-1The Raindrop Technique is a form of bodywork where therapeutic grade essential oils are applied to the feet, spine and back. This technique was developed by Dr. Gary Young, a naturopathic physician. The essential oils are first applied to the feet. Then they are dropped along the spine from a height of about 6 inches – thereby earning the name, Raindrop Technique. The oils are worked into the back with a series of different strokes. The nine basic oils used have different properties. In addition to these nine oils, I often add additional oils to help individual symptoms.

TESTIMONIALS

“I was having chronic lower back pain and a stiff neck. Massage gave some temporary relief, but it was never long lasting. After having one Raindrop application, the stiffness in the neck was resolved. After having several Raindrops, I found the lower back pain, which was always worse in the morning, was gone.” Washington

“I had lymphoma and used the Raindrop technique to help my immune system and general well-being while undergoing chemotherapy. When a painful bone marrow procedure was done in the spinal area, there were no after effects as compared to other patients in the same practice. The doctor was amazed at the lack of pain afterwards. I could walk, etc. I am now lymphoma free.” Texas
