The oils of Raindrop Collection can be used on the bottoms of the feet with excellent results. I personally find that 2-3 drops of each oil is sufficient for positive results. These essential oils help to support harmony and balance (which is how I see health) on every level, whether physical, mental, emotional or otherwise.
Be sure to wait a short amount of time between applying each oil to allow each to absorb into your body. In this manner, you receive the full benefit of each essential oil and do not need to be concerned with having a specific number of drops of each. The oils work to bring about balance in your body. Your body will select the components that it needs and eliminate whatever it does not need – as long as you drink plenty of water. By drinking water, you can eliminate the toxins through the urine, feces, saliva, and perspiration. If you do not drink enough water, then the toxins have no way to get out other than through the skin.
Some of the oils of Raindrop Collection are considered “hot oils”, which means that they can cause skin sensitivity – especially oregano and thyme. If you should experience redness, tingling, or burning, then apply some of the V6 Vegetable Complex, and the “heat” should diminish, within a minute or two if not sooner. CAUTION: DO NOT USE WATER. Water will only intensify the effect.
The order that Gary Young normally used for applying the oils of Raindrop Collection is as follows:
- VALOR
- OREGANO
- THYME
- BASIL
- CYPRESS
- WINTERGREEN
- MARJORAM
- PEPPERMINT
(I usually save AROMA SIEZ for times when I am in a hurry or have sore muscles or joints – it is really great for them.) Other blends can be added as well for specific issues.
Please note that layering the oils of Raindrop Technique can be quite beneficial as well. I consider that these oils were a key in my remarkable recovery from my various “adventures” so many of you have heard about. I BELIEVE the molecules of these essential oils always seem to go wherever they are needed. Would you agree?
