Raindrop Technique is a procedure for applying therapeutic
grade essential oils to the feet, back and spine. It is
a form of aromatherapy. Raindrop icorporates certain Native
American concepts, including a special form of massage called
"feather stroking" which is simular to a massage
technique called "effeurage".
Another aspect of Raindrop is "Vita Flex," a
therapeutic maneuver adapted from Oriental acupuncture,
acupressure and reflexology. The term "Vita Flex,"
meaning "vitality through the reflexes," was coined
by Stanley Burroughs, who studied Oriental Medicine and
brought the technique to the West.
During portions of the Raindrop procedure, therapeutic
grade essential oils are dropped neat (undiluted) on the
back along the spine from a height of about six inches.
The techniques of Raindrop performed with non-therapeutic
grade essential oils is not a true representation of the
method.
The theory of dropping the oils in this manner is that
the oils, which are said to possess electromagnetic properties,
are allowed to fall through the electromagnetic field of
the receiver before touching the skin. Thus the oils are
thought to interact with the receiver's electric fields
in a possibly beneficial way before being absorbed by the
body through the skin
This technique is used with various holistc modalities,
supporting the immune system, relieving tension, increasing
energy, supporting balanced metabolism, and general wellness
enhancement.
