Raindrop Technique consists of dropping essential oils on the spine and back like drops of rain. These oils are brushed with gentle strokes up the spine so that the oils are dispersed along the nervous system and throughout the body. Oils are applied to the feet also. The session may include a full massage and end with a hot compress on the back to help the oils penetrate even more quickly. Dr. Gary Young developed this treatment. His inspiration came from the traditions of the Lakota Indians.
