Raindrop Aromatherapy
Viruses and bacteria lie dormant along the spine, often creating inflammation, which contorts the spinal column. Raindrop Therapy uses a sequence of anti-microbial oils designed to kill pathogens, thereby reducing inflammation. Like little drops of rain, the oils are dispensed along the back and massaged along the spine, allowing the body to re-align naturally. The aromatic oils utilized in this treatment include: valor, thyme, oregano, cypress, wintergreen, basil, peppermint and marjoram. This technique is performed preceding a relaxing massage.
