Raindrop is a sequence of anointing with oils and laying on of hands that brings structural and electrical alignment to the body. Most raindrop oils are high in phenolic content to ward off potentially damaging viruses and bacteria while cleansing cellular receptor sites to enhance inter and intra cellular communication to improve overall body function.
Some raindrop oils contain a variety of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes to assist in deleting misinformation in the dna and reprogramming correct information in cellular memory to restore and maintain physical and emotional wellness.
I can’t imagine my home without the raindrop oils in it. I often do raindrop technique on my children when they need extra support. I also make a Raindrop Roller- a 10ml roller bottle with about 10 drops of each oil and fill with carrier oil. We roll this along the spine frequently when we are not feeling well.

Young Living’s proprietary Raindrop Technique bodywork combines powerful essential oils with multiple modalities of healing. Raindrop includes unique, targeted massage and energy approaches with pure essential oils for a deeply harmonizing, rejuvenating, and relaxing experience that supports overall health. The Raindrop method is a revolutionary means of nurturing harmony within the body—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
BACKGROUND
The Raindrop Technique was developed by Young Living Founder D. Gary Young in 1989 as a unique practice based on methods that have been used for centuries to rejuvenate the body and mind. Inspired by the Lakota Native American tradition of observing the northern lights while inhaling the affirming aroma of nearby conifer trees, the Raindrop Technique helps bring balance and harmony to the body by combining targeted massage and essential oils with specific health properties. These oils are well known for their ability to support the body’s natural response to inflammation and pathogens, to soothe the respiratory system, support immunity and ease muscle tension.
RAINDROP MASSAGE
During a Raindrop massage, the oils are dispensed onto the back like drops of rain, from about 6 inches above. As they are dropped onto the skin along the spine, the oils are lightly feathered up along the vertebrae and out along the muscles from the base of the spine to the neck. Because of the large amount of nerve endings along the spine, the oils continue to work for several days after application.
Start by applying Valor to the soles of the feet and massaging in gently. Then, apply the oils individually, starting at the base of the spine and feathering each one upward and outward before applying the next one. Apply 3-5 drops of each oil in this order: Oregano, Thyme, Basil, Cypress, Wintergreen, Marjoram, Aroma Siez, Peppermint, Valor.

KEY CONSTITUENTS
*Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties Some studies on the constituents in these oils have suggested the following:
- Carvacrol: this constituent provides incredible benefits including immune health (overall and digestive), antioxidants, and may support the body’s ability to heal.
- Thymol: contains cleansing properties, antioxidants and supports the body during times of inflammation.
- Alpha-pinene: a powerful antioxidant, some studies have shown alpha-pinene to support the body through inflammation and to help calm the mind
- Limonene: known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress support, this is a powerful constituent with many health benefits
RAINDROP & EMOTIONS
Because our bodies are intricately designed, we cannot separate the physical from the emotional, and Raindrop can be a powerful emotional tool as well! When we begin to fall below the wellness line it affects us physically, yes, but also spiritually, emotionally, mentally – which means that supporting our physical bodies also helps support our emotions.
Whether it is muscular, from an immune system need or something else, physical pain and stress on the body also affects the emotions. Massage can be a wonderful tool for relieving this, and adding in the powerful properties of the Raindrop oils takes the healing even further!
The Raindrop Collection can help to promote physical health within the body and also helps to lift the spirit, reduce stress and calm the mind. The herbaceous scents of these oils are so soothing!
