"RAINDROP technique is a powerful, non-invasive tool
for assisting the body in correcting defects in the curvature of the spine.
During the years that it has been practiced, it has resolved numerous cases
of scoliosis and kyphosis and eliminated the need for back surgery for
thousands of people. Raindrop Technique originated in the 1980s from the
research of Dr. Gary Young working with a Lakota medicine man named Wallace
Black Elk. It integrates Vitaflex and massage, utilizing the power of
essential oils in bringing the body into structural and electrical
alignment." (from the Essential Oils Desk Reference)
Raindrop Technique uses a sequence of essential oils
that are immune enhancing, support the body's natural defenses, as well as
the circulatory, respiratory, endocrine, digestive, nervous, and other body
systems. These oils, which are high in antioxidants, are also mood elevating
and antiseptic, creating an unfavorable environment for harmful viruses and
bacteria that can hibernate in the body. Essential oils are known to boost
stamina and energy, help you relax, help manage stress and frustration and
promote overall health, vitality, and longevity. The principal single oils
used include:
- Thyme (Thymus vulgaris)
- Oregano (Origanum
compactum)
- Wintergreen (Gaultheria
procumbens)
- Cypress (Cupressus
sempervirens)
- Peppermint (Mentha
piperita)
- Basil (Ocimum basilicum)
- Marjoram (Origanum
majorana)
The oils are dispensed in little drops from a height
of about six inches above the back, which is where Raindrop Technique gets
its name. They are then massaged along the spine and back muscles. They are
also applied to the feet.
The whole process takes about an hour and may continue
to work in the body for up to one week following a Raindrop Session, with
possible realignment and bodily adjustment taking place during this time.
"Raindrop Technique is not a cure-all or a magic
bullet. A healthy balanced body is the result of a well-rounded program of
exercise and proper diet. Health is everything we do, say, hear, see, and
eat. The Raindrop Technique is only one tool to help restore balance in the
body that will result in good health." (from the Essential Oils Desk
Reference").
Many professionals, including chiropractors, massage
therapists, osteopaths, reflexologists, and certified aromatherapists have
found Raindrop and Vitaflex techniques to be an excellent addition to the
repertoire of their practices.
Vita Flex simply means vitality through the reflexes.
It is a complete, scientific, workable system of controls which releases the
energy of the unlimited healing powers within us.
It is applied to various key
points all over the body by a pressure with a pull of the finger and a slight
twist of the wrist. The twist increases the leverage and pressure on the points
of contact. As the twist continues to completion, the finger is completely
bent and the correct pressure actually occurs with the end of the finger making
the contact. All this time, the hand remains firm on the foot, hand or
other part of the bidy with no slipping. The final pressure is medium to
heavy. The pressure is never held, but released immediately and repeated
from the beginning. This may be done several times on the same spot as
required to obtain desired results.
Perhaps one of the most valuable
accomplishments in this system is the extremely low cost involved.
