Seven Benefits of the Raindrop Technique

If you want to invigorate tired and stressed muscles, relieve neck and back pain, de-stress or simply slip into a blissful state of relaxation.

What Are Essential Oils? Essential oils are the concentrated essences extracted from raw materials such as; plants, flowers, herbs, resin, leaves, seeds, wood, bark, fruit and grasses.

What is Aromatherapy? Aromatherapy is the systematic use of volatile plant oils known as essential oils. Aromatherapy is a complementary therapy designed to treat the “whole” person by assisting the body’s natural ability to regulate, balance and maintain itself. The therapeutic essential oils support the body by bringing it back to balance without harmful side effects of chemical based products.

What is Raindrop Therapy?

This 60 or 90 minute therapy is a wonderfully rejuvenating and deeply relaxing topical application of therapeutic essential oils. Raindrop Therapy combines several holistic modalities to bring balance to the body in a non-invasive manner. It also stimulates all of the body systems on a physical and emotional level.  The oils used in Raindrop are therapeutic grade and NOT adulterated oils. Adulterated oils contain synthetic chemicals or compounds and can be harmful to the body.

What Does It Involve?

The relaxing and mild application of the therapeutic-grade oils are gently dispensed like “little raindrops” up along the spine and back. The oils are worked into the skin by using soft feather-like movements and strokes. The essential oils are also applied to soles of feet and shoulders for reinforced benefits.

Why Is It Called Raindrop?

The essential oils are gently  dispensed like “little raindrops” along the spine and back.

7 BENEFITS OF RAINDROP THERAPY:

1. Reduces Everyday Aches
Since its development, it is becoming clear that the elements of Raindrop therapy not only reduces chronic aches but also benefits other body systems. The analgesic ingredients in the essential oils may help reduce everyday aches and discomfort.

2. Helps Relief Stress & Emotional Well-being
Therapeutic essential oils have a normalizing effect on the nervous system making them ideal for reducing stress, anxiety and tension.

The oils can immediately penetrate cell membranes and diffuse through the blood and tissues instantly in a matter of seconds! The oils also cross the brain-blood barrier and effect the limbic system (the Amygdale) parts of the brain that control our mood, behavior and emotions. So if you’ve lost your  “Joie de Vivre” Raindrop therapy will have you smiling and back to your normal self in no time.

3. Relax Muscles
Muscles that are sore, spastic or stressed will also benefit from Raindrop Therapy. Basil, wintergreen, marjoram, cypress and peppermint essential oils help with all the common muscle conditions.

4. Helps Reduce InflammationWorld wide studies have identified several essential oils as powerful anti-inflammatory agents. These include wintergreen, peppermint and thyme. These essential oils are all used in the Raindrop essential oil body therapy.

5. Helps Improve CirculationEssential oils can be most beneficial in boosting circulation due to oxygenating properties. The essential oils of cypress, thyme, marjoram and peppermint all have properties that increase circulation and act as a circulatory stimulant.

6. Helps Detox the Body Systems
The therapeutic oils used in Raindrop therapy are high in phenols hence, cleanse cellular receptor sites and enhance the lymphatic system.

7. Helps improve Immune function
Thyme and oregano essential oils are known to support the immune system. They also create an unfavorable environment for harmful viruses and bacteria that can hibernate and lay dormant in the body.

In short, the benefits of this therapy go well beyond the physical benefits. Raindrop can not only help relieve pain and restore immediate physical well-being, but it can set in motion the healing processes that will last for weeks.

What is Beauty?

"Beauty" is a Noun;

1.       A combination of qualities; such as Shape, Color or Form that pleases the aesthetic senses.

2.       A combination of qualities that pleases the intellect or moral sense.

Some Say “Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder”, but whose eyes are they talking about?  As humans we are gifted with the ability of sight, so the way beauty is identified will vary by each individual.  What may be beautiful to one can be unappealing to another.  That’s why we are usually very specific in our direct outlook on beauty.   As an artist in the beauty industry it has become a passion and a lifelong process to develop the skills to create the 3 things that the definition talked about.  Shape, color and form are essential in our industry.    We develop shapes color and forms using a different foundation; hair, skin, body and nails.  For example we can form or shape hair into millions of options using the best canvas of all…. You.

We developed methods in hair cutting for example that can accentuate certain features or choose to conceal flaws.  We can bring out the best suitable color for your hair even eyes and skin tones.  We can form eyebrows to best suit a specific facial shape and skull structure.  We can address challenging skin and body complaints thru services and product regiments.  That is only a brief intro to what the beauty industry professionals have to offer.  My suggestions would be to seek out the great artists that can truly make you look and feel your best!  Most importantly do your research and educate yourself on salons, professional products, fashion and accessories.  But please have fun doing it!

Now to the next Question:  Does external beauty equal internal beauty?  Some say external beauty opens locked doors, but when people look for external beauty they tend to forget about feelings. The truth is that internal beauty is much more important than external beauty but sometimes our geographical location dictates otherwise and can very well be a cultural dilemma.  Please make an effort to make that internal beauty a priority in your life and the external beauty will glow. Now back to the question at hand, “Does beauty please the intellect or moral senses? “That answer is up to you to find out, if you make the external beauty priority more power to you, but hopefully you will concentrate on making the internal beauty will equally matched.

Our industry is not only about creating beauty by providing the skills we have mastered, but by also listening.  Most importantly your beauty consultant should be a person you can and should trust, not only with your looks and appearance but with your feeling as well.  So get out there, find the best suitable beauty professional.  Put your trust and faith in their hands and watch the amazing process unfold, your external and internal beauty will thank you for making a great decision, I promise!
