What is the Raindrop Technique?
Raindrop Technique® (RT)D. Gary Young developed the Raindrop Technique® (RT) based on (1) his research with essential oils as antimicrobial agents, (2) his knowledge of the Vita Flex technique and its reflex points in the feet, and (3) fascinating information on effleurage (finger stroking) and its effect on the muscles and the nervous system that he learned from the Lakota people in South Dakota. Since its formal adoption in 1989, Raindrop Technique has received an enormous amount of praise from users all over the world for its help with relaxation, emotional release, tissue cleansing and help with spinal misalignments.
In 2001, David Stewart, PhD, circulated a questionnaire to over 2000 health practitioners, massage therapists, aromatherapists and their clients, to gain insight on the results that were accruing from RT. He received 422 responses summarizing the experiences of some 14,000 Raindrop sessions. His findings are summarized in his booklet, A Statistical Validation of Raindrop Technique (available through Essential Science Publishing). Overall, the 416 respondents who had received RT rated it positive (97%), pleasant (98%), resulted in improved health (89%) and resulted in an improved emotional state (86%). 99.9% of receivers said they would choose to receive RT again.
Another foundation principle behind RT is the idea--now being explored and verified in a number of scientific studies--that some types of spinal misalignment are caused by viruses or bacteria that lie dormant along the spine. These pathogens create inflammation, which, in turn, contorts and disfigures the spinal column. RT is a powerful, non-invasive technique utilizing the antiviral, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action of several key essential oils to assist the body in maintaining normal spinal curvature. During the past 18 years it has helped alleviate or resolve many cases of scoliosis, kyphosis, and chronic back pain and has eliminated the need for back surgery for hundreds of people.
