Healthy Tip: Got a pain in the neck? Try a Raindrop
I tell you, I guess my most challenging pains have come while sleeping. Just recently I took a nap and woke up with one of those nasty kinks in my neck, which was quite a “pain in the neck”. Part of the pain was of course due to tissue, however, it seemed to stem from a vertebra in my neck that was a bit out of alignment. Being that I did not have quick access to a chiropractor and that I recently had dealt with structural issues in my lower back, I immediately tried something that had been very effective in the healing process of my lower back. That therapy is called RAINDROP therapy through the use of therapeutic grade essential oils.
I mean this pain in the neck was creating some nasty headaches which made it pretty tough to enjoy a good part of my day. I asked my lovely wife to help me by simply rubbing these particular oils in their sequence, and I kid you not, in just a few hours my neck was over 90% better. Part of the beauty about this process is that I can repeat it as many times as I need and in the comforts of my own home. Plus, I get to enjoy a fragrant room. Below I share with you the key essential oils that are used in this RAINDROP therapy, and some of their benefits. However, if you choose to use this process yourself, you can simply order the RAINDROP kit (press here for details on how to order) and all the oils come in one package, along with instructions. Or if you want to learn how to do this process hands on, I recommend you visit www.lindahenning.com and see when the next free RAINDROP class is scheduled. Enjoy and may this support you in your healing.
Here are the oils that are used in the RAINDROP technique and in their application sequence:
(As shared by Gary Young)
- Oregano has potent antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.
- Thyme is highly antimicrobial, inhibiting the growth of infectious micro-organisms. It easily penetrates the skin and travels throughout the body.
- Basil or Balsam Fir: Basil has antispasmodic properties that relax muscles. It is also anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial. Balsam fir is an excellent substitute for basil and is less irritating to sensitive skin.
- Cypress oil improves circulation, relieves spasms and swelling, and helps heal damaged tissue.
- Wintergreen and Birch are virtually identical chemically. They are anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain-relieving) due to their high methyl salicylate content. They are excellent for bones and joints.
NOTE: Be careful of your sources in obtaining either of these oils. It is Gary Young’s experience in the market that there is very little natural birch essential oil available worldwide. Additionally, much of the wintergreen sold today has been chemically extended and adulterated with synthetic methyl salicylate. - Marjoram oil is antispasmodic and muscle-relaxing.
- Peppermint enhances the effects of all the preceding essential oils. It also has pain-killing and antimicrobial properties, stimulating circulation and cooling inflamed tissue.
I guess I should also mention that Valor is an important oil to use in this process. Many call this oil the “chiropractor in a bottle”, and in my experience, I would agree with them. Though Valor is not one of the oils in the Raindrop package, I believe it is a worthwhile oil to include.
