Raindrop Technique ®
restoring the body’s vitality and equilibrium!
Medical practitioner, osteopath and acupuncturist, Dr Richard Moore is co-owner of Levity Health, a holistic gym and wellness centre in Bondi Junction. Always on the lookout for new therapies to offer, he is familiar with the benefits of pure essential oils and agreed to experience Raindrop Technique®.
The Raindrop Technique was developed by Dr Gary Young (USA), who was paralysed as a young man in a logging accident and has subsequently completely healed himself. The process utilises the benefits of therapeutic-grade essential oils combined with techniques that Dr Young learned from a Lakota medicine man, along with Vita Flex, a pressure point massage of the feet and lower legs that is said to have originated in Tibet thousands of years ago.
Well beyond pampering
In Raindrop Technique the essential oils are dispensed like little raindrops along the length of the spine from a height of about six inches and then lightly feathered outwards across the back.
Although the pressure is so gentle that at first you may be tempted to place this technique in the category of ‘pampering’, its effects go much deeper. Whether you are simply tired and in need of relaxation, or experiencing symptoms ranging from headaches to sports injuries, Raindrop Technique unblocks the body through promoting the highest possible levels of oxygenation. Once oxygen is restored, nutrients can return and be assimilated, and the body can begin to balance itself.
The quality of the therapeutic-grade essential oils used in the treatment is the key to its success, as unlike most traditional aromatherapy treatments, they are used neat on the body. Oils used include basil, cypress, marjoram, oregano, peppermint, thyme, and wintergreen. A number of exclusive international Spas such as The Biltmore in Arizona, which attracts the Hollywood set, include this treatment on their menu.
Immediately following his one-hour Raindrop Technique session, Dr Richard Moore reported feeling very relaxed, balanced and centred. One of his favourite essential oils is peppermint and in Raindrop Technique it is used with a hot towel that induces a tingling sensation of heat and coolness simultaneously, which he described as “an intense menthol experience!” The effects of a Raindrop Technique session continue for up to a week and when we checked in with Richard several days later, he was still feeling relaxed and was keen to have others in his team experience a Raindrop session.
As well as relaxation, clients report a variety of benefits ranging from increased energy levels to the spontaneous release of emotional blocks in the body.
