Raindrop Technique is a type of aromatherapy anointing developed and introduced during the 1980’s by Dr. Gary Young founder of Young Living Essential Oils, based on his research with essential oils as antimicrobial agents. These substances are called the “life blood” of the plant because they protect against infections and other diseases. Humans have used the healing essence of aromatic plants as incense, perfumes and oils for medical, worship, and culinary uses for at least 4,000 years.

In developing the methodology, Young was inspired by fascinating information he learned from a Lakota elder. He went on to incorporate into Raindrop a special form of light stroking massage the Lakota used to facilitate the spread of energy through the body. It was called “feather stroking,” and it is similar to the massage technique “effleurage.”

Utilizing the power of pure, unadulterated therapeutic-grade essential oils, Young found that he could accentuate them further by integrating “feather stroking” along with a combination of various aspects of conventional massage, and adaptations of Oriental acupressure and reflexology (VitaFlex).

Raindrop uses a formulaic sequence of highly antimicrobial essential oils: seven single oils, two blends of oils, and a massage oil. These oils are applied to the feet, spine, and back. The technique can be customized to address different health issues not directly related to back problems for children, adults and the elderly.

RDT is a natural healing protocol where oils are dispensed like little drops of rain from a height of about 6 inches above the back and very lightly massaged along the spine and back muscles.

Tens reasons why RDT:

1. Dispersed along nerve pathways, oils stimulate energy impulses in entire body.
2. Oils are smart and go where they are needed.
3. Helps bring body into balance by clearing and re-aligning.
4. Facilitates tissue cleansing.
5. Reduces inflammation, relaxes muscles, and alleviates nerve pain.
6. Kills any bacteria, viruses, fungus or infection that may hibernate along spine.
7. Straightens spinal curvatures and reduces chronic back pain.
8. Deeply relaxing and supporting, relieves stress and anxiety, makes you feel TERRIFIC.
9. Increases overall well being.
10. Boosts the immune system and promotes healing from within.

The oils continue to work in the body for up to one week following treatment. The goal of RDT is to develop new memory in the tissues of the body and train it to hold itself in place; sometimes this occurs immediately, other times it requires a series of raindrops to accomplish.

The entire body is treated as the oils are delivered to every system of the body. The whole procedure takes about an hour. I have repeatedly seen or felt the power of the raindrop procedure for both facilitator and receiver. I believe that essential oils are without doubt profound natural healing substances and
Raindrop a profound protocol. Since the 1980s it has been performed by thousands of facilitators on many thousands of people.
