What is the Raindrop Technique?
The Raindrop Technique is a powerful anointing method that combines essential oils with VitaFlex and other specialized techniques to support both physical and emotional well-being.
These perfectly sized molecules penetrate the blood, lymph, cells, and nerves, deeply supporting the body.
Each oil carries a unique frequency—as do each of our organs and every emotion. One of the benefits of this technique is working together to create a harmonious synergy for overall wellness.
Raindrop Technique nurtures wellness on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels, recognizing the deep connection between them.
Physical and emotional well-being are intertwined in every aspect of health, making intention a key factor in each session.
Both the practitioner and the recipient play a vital role in shaping the experience and outcome. Ignoring one aspect diminishes the full benefits of the therapy.
BENEFITS OF RAINDROP TECHNIQUE
Raindrop Therapy offers incredible support in countless ways! With so many benefits, it’s easy to lose track of just how much this technique can do for us.
Raindrop Therapy is a powerful healing method that combines pure essential oils with aromatherapy, reflexology, VitaFlex, and moist heat.
This unique approach helps restore structural and electrical alignment in the body, promoting deep healing and cleansing. The goal is to bring balance, harmony, and overall wellness—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Here are just a few of the many benefits Raindrop Therapy can provide:
- Relieves tension headaches
- Eases stress and anxiety
- Improves sleep quality
- Boosts energy levels
- Enhances circulation
- Reduces inflammation
- Soothes muscle aches and pains
- Supports emotional release
As a practitioner, I deeply value and embrace this harmony, and I strive to help my clients experience its full potential in their own healing journey.
A Raindrop session begins with the application of a variety of essential oils applied to the body in a specific way and sequential order. The oils are massaged into the skin using slow, rhythmic strokes.
Essential oils are dispensed like drops of rain from a height of about 6 inches along the spine. It feels like raindrops gently striking your spine and it is very relaxing and comforting.
The theory of dropping oils from this height is to allow the oils, which possess electromagnetic properties, to fall through the electromagnetic field of the client before touching the skin. The oils are thought to interact with the client’s electric field beneficially before being absorbed through the skin.
BENEFITS UPON BENEFITS
The Raindrop Technique offers a variety of benefits, some of which are outlined below. While some effects may be felt immediately, others can continue for several days—or even up to a week—after your session.
- Detoxifies the Body – Essential oils high in phenols cleanse cellular receptor sites and support the lymphatic system in flushing out toxins.
- Gently Balances the Spine – Microbes along the spine can contribute to physical and emotional struggles. Oils like oregano, marjoram, thyme, and basil have properties that support health. Many people often measure a slight increase in height after a session due to relaxation and balancing of the body.
- Reduces Stress and Anxiety – Essential oils not only promote positive emotions like joy and relaxation but also help release negative emotions stored at a cellular level.
- Strengthens the Immune System – Thyme and oregano essential oils empower immune function, while detoxification helps eliminate viruses and bacteria, enhancing overall health.
- Helps Reduce Inflammation – Natural anti-inflammatory oils such as wintergreen, thyme, and peppermint help soothe inflammation and tension in the body.
- Flushes Toxins – Phenol-rich oils accelerate the body’s natural detox process, stimulating the lymphatic system and promoting overall well-being.
- Relieves Muscle Discomfort – Basil, wintergreen, marjoram, cypress, peppermint, and the Ortho Ease massage oil blend help ease sore, tense, or stressed muscles.
- Enhances Circulation – Oils like cypress, marjoram, and peppermint support healthy blood and lymphatic flow.
- Balances and Re-aligns Energy Centers – The Raindrop Technique promotes electrical and structural balance, with the essential oil blend Valor helping to ground and center the body.
- Supports Emotional Release – Essential oils can cross the blood-brain barrier, influencing the limbic system, where emotions are stored, to support emotional well-being and release.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HISTORY OF RAINDROP TECHNIQUE
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.
HOW CAN I PREPARE FOR A RAINDROP?
Both practitioner and recipient should drink plenty of water.
Recipient should shower before and I recommend not showering 24-48 hours after receiving a raindrop. The oils can work for several days after application with the benefits lasting for a couple of weeks.
Emotional preparation: Be mindful of the goals and intention before your session. Applying an oil such as White Angelica essential oil blend to your wrists and heart can also set the tone for those giving and receiving the massage. Prayer and positive affirmations leading up to and during the session are recommended.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A RAINDROP
During a Raindrop session, we begin with balancing at shoulders and the feet. Next is Vitaflex technique on each foot with the the oils. Next, they are dispensed onto the back like drops of rain, from about 6 inches above. As they are dropped onto the skin along the spine, using a feathering techniques and others that stimulates the nerves that exit the spine. These nerves travel to the body to various organs, systems, and muscle groups. Each technique enhances the circulation of essential oils into the body.
Because of the large amount of nerve endings along the spine, the oils continue to work for several days after application.
There are many videos on YouTube with varying applications on how to perform a Raindrop Technique. I follow the method from Center for Aromatherapy Research & Education (CARE) where I obtained my certification. You can learn more about their organization below.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER A RAINDROP SESSION?
Everyone will experience the Raindrop Technique differently. For some people, it might be relaxing and calming. For others, it might be more energizing.
How you experience it will be unique to you; but regardless of whether your experience leaves you feeling relaxed or energized, be sure to stay hydrated!
And, interestingly, most people grow! The back muscles relax so much that the recipient is able to stand taller comfortably. I have seen growth from as little as one-quarter inch up to 2 inches!
WHAT ARE THE KEY CONSTITUENTS?
*Constituents are naturally occurring chemical 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
HOW A RAINDROP SESSION AFFECTS 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!
Supporting our physical bodies also nurtures our emotions, as the two are deeply connected. The physical and emotional aspects of health are like two sides of the same coin—one cannot focus on one while ignoring the other and still expect to be their best.
Whether it's muscular tension, an immune system need, or another issue, physical pain and stress also impact our emotions. The Raindrop Technique is a powerful tool for relief, and when combined with the therapeutic properties of specific essential oils, the benefits are even greater!
The Raindrop Collection can help to promote physical health within the body and also helps to lift the spirit, reduce stress, ease anxiety, and calm the mind. The herbaceous scents of these oils are so soothing! This is collection I recommend owning at home to use on your feet or lower spine as needed.

The Raindrop Technique Essential Oil Collection is one of Young Living's most popular collections, and for good reason! We have seen what an amazing health tool this technique and these oils can be.

- He worked to share his knowledge about the Raindrop Technique method so others could share its rejuvenating properties with those they love most.
- Check the Young Living video with Mary Young talking about the Raindrop Technique below.
WHAT ABOUT A RAINDROP ON SMALL CHILDREN?
You can perform the Raindrop Technique method on teens, kids, and small children. I have personally used this technique on my dog, cat and even on a chicken. If you would like to learn more about using essential oils or the Raindrop Technique on animals, please reach out.
Use one drop of oil and remember: Dilute, dilute, dilute your essential oils, especially when working on children.
- Some of the oils such as Peppermint, Wintergreen and Aroma Siez can be a little "spicy" so make sure they wash their hands if they touch the oils and keep them away from the face.
- If oils get into the eyes, please don't flush with water, that will drive the oil deeper into the eye. Rather use a fatty oil such as olive oil, coconut oil, V-6 from Young Living or another carrier oil to help absorb the heat. Any stinging sensation will subside after a few minutes (speaking from experience).

WHY DO PEOPLE EXPERIENCE GROWTH AFTER A RAINDROP?
That's a great question! It is very common for Raindrop Practitioner's to have you stand tall against a wall and record your height both before and after receiving a Raindrop.
People often experience growth because their muscles are less tense and more relaxed this allows them to stand taller without the intense tightness and pain.
Most people will see growth from 1/2 - 1 inch, although I have seen 2 inches of "growth"!
I ONLY use and recommend Young Living essential oils when providing the Raindrop Technique because it is the only company with the Seed to Seal process with better than organic standards, ensuring the purity of each essential oil and protecting nature’s living energy in every bottle produced.
