Massage is one of the most effective ways of using essential oils. It combines the therapeutic power of touch with the properties of the individual oils. The skin absorbs the oils readily. Choose from a wide variety of Young Living essential oils that can help your body detox, relax, revive your zest for life and restore a positive attitude.

Therapeutic massage received regularly helps to work out chronic muscular tension. Massage melts away a certain amount of tension in each session, and if received regularly, keeps it from building up again. Therapeutic massage helps you identify and correct holding patterns of tension. You can learn to relax and let go of stress you may not have known was there.

Therapeutic massage and stretching can help you regain and maintain proper alignment. When muscles are relaxed and restored to their optimal length, correct posture and alignment are more easily sustained.

Massage can also trigger the relaxation response, relieving the negative effects of stress and restoring balance in the body. Some positive effects of the relaxation response include slower breathing, more relaxed muscles, and better internal circulation and digestion.

Thermal conduction in the warm Basalt stones brings about local and systemic changes in the body, and influences the energy centers for body and mind balancing.

Stone therapy is a holistic approach that affects the individual on all planes: physical, emotional, and spiritual.

The Raindrop Technique is a powerful, non-invasive tool for assisting the body in correcting defects in the curvature of the spine by utilizing the antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory action of several key essential oils. During the years that it has been practiced, it has resolved numerous cases of scoliosis, kyphosis, and chronic back pain. Further, it has eliminated the need for back surgery for hundreds of people. By integrating Vita Flex and massage, the power of essential oils brings the body into structural and electrical alignment.

The Raindrop Technique uses a sequence of highly antimicrobial essential oils combined to kill viral agents and reduce inflammation. The principle single oils used include: oregano, thyme, basil, cypress, wintergreen, marjoram, and peppermint, along with other essential oil blends.

The oils are dispensed like little drops of rain from a height of about six inches above the back and very lightly massaged along the vertebrae and back muscles. This is followed by a full back and neck massage. Although the entire process takes about one hour to complete, the oils will continue to work in the body for up to one week following treatment, with continued re-alignment taking place during this time.
