Raindrop Technique and the Elderly

Massage therapists, have you tried doing the Raindrop Technique on the elderly? Young Living’s Raindrop Technique is a safe, non-invasive, and easy tool that can help the aged feel better. With a few simple oils– Valor®, oregano, thyme, basil, cypress, wintergreen, marjoram, Aroma Siez™, peppermint, Ortho Ease™ and V-6™ Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex– the Raindrop Technique can help bring the body, mind, and spirit into balance.


Here are some specific uses of the oils in the Raindrop Technique that can benefit the elderly:

· Valor helps to balance the energy in the body.
· Oregano works to strengthen the immune system.
· Thyme helps overcome physical weakness and strengthen the immune system.
· Basil is relaxing to the muscles.
· Wintergreen can ease body aches and support the body’s natural defense mechanisms.
· Marjoram relieves minor discomforts.
· Aroma Siez helps to soothe the nerves and muscles.
· Peppermint feels really good and helps the other oils be more effective.
· Ortho Ease helps relax all the muscles on the back and reduces stress.

I’ve personally seen the Raindrop Technique help the elderly with posture, give an increase in energy, and help with their immune systems. Many of the results have been astounding! I’ve seen older adults walk better and have less discomfort getting up and down. At bare minimum, they will feel an increase in energy. They will be so thankful for the Raindrop Technique when you get through!
As you work on older individuals, be sensitive to their thinning skin and how they respond to the oils. Some of the essential oils in the Raindrop Technique can be quite hot. Have V-6 available to quickly dilute oils if needed. Also, be aware of the pressure you put on their bodies. What your younger clients can bear is usually heavier than the elderly.
