Rain Drop Therapy
This application technique was developed by Dr. Gary Young, N.D. and a Lakota medicine man almost two decades ago.
Raindrop Therapy uses a sequence of nine highly anti-microbial essential oils. They are dropped like rain from a height of about 6 inches onto the spine and then lightly massaged in using various hand to body techniques. A hot compress is then applied to facilitate absorption of the oils and relax the muscles.
We all carry viruses and bacteria - which deplete our immune system. Everyone benefits from Raindrop therapy because the spinal column contains nerves that feed the entire body. Wonderfully soothing, nurturing and relaxing, Raindrop Therapy can work its benefits in the body for days to weeks or months.
By receiving a rain drop therapy treatment the body can be brought into balance and the energy centers can be cleared and re-aligned. It will also help to reduce spinal inflammation and kill viruses
that hibernate along the spinal column, as well as help to straighten any spinal curvatures. Many types of spinal misalignments are caused by viruses and bacteria that lie dormant along the spine resulting
in inflammation and deformity.
Although a session lasts about 45 minutes to an hour, the oils will continue to work in the body for a week or more following the treatment.
Oils used in Raindrop Therapy:
- Valor -
- A special blend from Young Living Essential Oils (YLEO) that works on electrical and energy alignment of the body. The key to using this blend of oils is patience. Once the frequencies begin to balance in these areas, then a structural alignment can occur. This is the most important oil used in this application.
- Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) -
- One of the most antiseptic essential oils. It contains thymol, which has been studied for its effect on gingivitis and plaque causing organisms in the mouth. It may be beneficial in helping to overcome fatigue and exhastion. This essential oil can easily penetrate the body, and may help kill any bacteria that may be present. Supplies energy during times of stress and physical weakness.
- Oregano -
- Works similarly to thyme but is more aggressive and may help stimulate the immune system, balance metabolism and strengthen the vital centers of the body.
- Wintergreen (Gaultheria prcumbens) -
- Contains the same active ingredient (methyl salicylate) as birch and is beneficial for massage associated with bone, muscle, and joint discomfort. Elevates and increases awareness on sensory system.
- Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) -
- One of the oils most used to support the circulatory system.
- Peppermint (Mentha piperita) -
- One of the oldest and most highly reguarded herbs for soothing digestion. Peppermint has been found to improve mental accuracy, and sooth the respiratory system. Jean Valnet M.D., studied peppermint's effect on the liver and respiratory systems. Other scientists have also researched peppermint's role in affecting impaired taste and smell when inhaled. Dr. William N. Dember of the University of Cincinnati studied peppermint's ability to directly affect the brain's satiety center, which triggers a sense of fullness after meals.
- Basil (Ocimum basilicum) -
- Can be relaxing to muscles, including smooth muscles (those not subject to our voluntary control, such as the heart and digestive system). It may also be used to soothe insect bites when applied topically. Beneficial for mental fatigue, basil may help stimulate and sharpen the sense of smell.
- Marjoram (Origanum majorana) -
- Used for calming the respiratory system and assists in relieving spasms and relaxing the muscles. It also assists in calming the nerves and is an antiseptic.
- Aroma Siez -
- This special YLEO blend of essential oils may help relax, calm and relieve tight, sore, tired, and aching muscles resulting from sports injuries, fatigue and stress.
