The truth is that Raindrop is a very powerful technique making intensive use of therapeutic quality essential oils.

Raindrop was initially developed to aid scoliosis patients, based on the theory that the spine curvature was initiated or influenced by colonies of mocrobes dwelling in the spinal tissues, irritating the muscles, causing them to tighten, and pull the spinal column out of place.  Now, researchers have shown that in many, many cases, this germ theory is correct and is a cause of scoliosis as well as recurring illnesses such as strep throat.  

The aromatic oils used in Raindrop Technique* have also been shown to be powerful antimicrobials, able to kill viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites that can cause dis-ease.  They are also supportive of the circulatory system, the immune system, the muscles, bones, joints, and they are relaxing! 

It is of critical importance to obtain the absolutely best quality essential oil possible for this type of intensive use.   Listen to a scientist talk about quality of essential oils…. james_kababick ON Essential OIls

Raindrop was acclaimed as one of about 25 or so remarkable techniques available at World renown spas… like La Paridiso in Los Cabos and the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas.  Here the sessions are considered a splurge unless you are part of the weekend jet set crowd.  At your local spa you may find it for about 1/2 the price.

 * Note- ONLY Therapeutic Quality Oils should be used for such intensive applications.  The Center for Aromatherapy Research and Education -which trains certified Raindrop Instructors- promotes the use of only Young Living oils because this is the only American company that regularly tests their oils for quality, and absence of unwanted molecules.
