Aromatherapy

2 August 2020 | Aromatherapy

Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants. They can be both beautifully and powerfully fragrant. If you have ever enjoyed the gift of a rose, a walk by a field of lavender, or the smell of fresh-cut mint, you have experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils. In addition to giving plants their distinctive smells, essential oils provide plants with protection against predators and disease and play a role in plant pollination.

Essential oils are non-water-based phytochemicals made up of volatile organic compounds. Although they are fat-soluble, they do not include fatty lipids or acids found in vegetable and animal oils. Essential oils are very clean, almost crisp, to the touch and are immediately absorbed by the skin. Pure, unadulterated essential oils are translucent and range in colour from crystal clear to deep blue.

Try this at home: Squeeze the peel of a ripe orange. The fragrant residue on your hand is full of essential oils. In addition to their intrinsic benefits to plants and being beautifully fragrant to people, essential oils have been used throughout history in many cultures for their medicinal and therapeutic benefits.

About the Raindrop Technique Raindrop Technique is an exciting new modality, which can be performed on both people and animals. In addition to being performed as a technique in its own right, the various elements of the Raindrop Technique can be used to complement most other modalities, including massage (all forms), Reflexology, Bowen technique, Shiatsu, Chiropractic, and Physiotherapy.  Raindrop Technique derives its name from the art of dripping unadulterated, therapeutic-grade essential oils onto the body from a height  (like rain), so that the oils interact with the physical body as well as the energy field. This was inspired by the Native American belief that raindrops falling from a height may purify and cleanse the body and spirit. Because the essential oils easily penetrate the skin and muscles, the technique works on deep levels of the body without requiring hard pressure or force. Raindrop Technique was developed by essential oil researcher and naturopath D. Gary Young due to research showing that many forms of spinal misalignment are caused by muscle spasms and inflammation-producing bacteria and viruses that reside along the spine.  

The Steps of Raindrop Technique

Raindrop Technique is conducted in silence. Undistracted by sound and talking, the recipient can sink into a deep state of relaxation and self-connection. In this receptive state, inner shifts may more easily take place. There are four steps to the Raindrop Technique.   The first step is very simple and is an Energy Balancing step. The Young Living Essential Oils’ blend of Valor is applied on the feet, and the feet are held. This step may take 5 to 10 minutes. Valor helps to balance the electrical energies in the body and the aura, promoting a deep state of relaxation. 

Raindrop Technique then uses the Vitaflex Technique, the Ancient Tibetan form of reflexology, in conjunction with various Young Living essential oils. Vitaflex technique originated in Tibet thousands of years ago, long before acupuncture was developed. Unlike reflexology, Vitaflex Technique is designed to send an electrical pulse along the nerve pathways of the body. This pulse reaches areas of the body where there is a break in the electrical circuit caused by toxins, damaged tissues or loss of oxygen. Vitaflex Technique involves a distinctive movement of the hand’s fingers and sends the receiver into an even deeper state of relaxation as the essential oils combine with the electrical pulses to uplift the body and mind, and release tension, congestion, and imbalances. The third step of the Raindrop Technique is where it derives its name. 

The recipient is positioned face down, and essential oils are dropped onto the back and spine from a height of approximately six inches (15cm). This means that the oils are interacting with the body’s energy field (its aura) even before they contact the physical body, producing an intensified effect. The oils are then massaged into the back using a variety of modern massage techniques and Vitaflex moves. 

The recipient then positioned face up,   In the fourth step, the head is cupped and their body is rocked using a specific movement of the fingers around the occipital, where the skull joins the neck. This movement effectively pumps the lymphatic fluid of the body. Young Living ® essential oils used most commonly in the technique are Oregano, Thyme, Basil, Cypress, Wintergreen or Birch, Marjoram and Peppermint, and the blends Valor and Aromaseiz. However, other oils may be added or substituted as appropriate and as needed, including oils for supporting emotional balance.
