Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.


Have you ever experienced sore muscles the day after an invigorating workout? Or been subject to the occasional twisted ankle, jacked knee, or pulled shoulder? I know the pain firsthand. For years I lived with chronic lower back and knee pain. Not only had it started to negatively impact my workouts, but my daily life was becoming more difficult.

Many people's advice was to drop weight training and change to low impact cardio, but I saw that as a challenge instead of as a defeat. I had been using Young Living Oils for almost a year at that point and while they sped up the healing process and diminished the pain I still struggled with daily back aches.

Then, during an aromatherapy training session I received a Raindrop Massage. The combination of the specific oils used in Raindrop have allowed me to continue being active and have helped heal my body! Since that Raindrop Massage I have experienced no pain in my knees, ankles, or back.

I am forever thankful for the Raindrop Technique!

Supporting Scientific Studies
1.Associated topics: spine,muscle-pain,back-pain — "We examined the evidence regarding the effect of herbal medicine on pain in people with non-specific low-back pain (LBP).... Lavender essential oil applied by acupressure appeared effective in reducing pain and improving flexibility compared to conventional treatment."Link
2.Associated topics: muscle-pain — "[T]he effect of essential oils on skeletal and smooth muscle...: The first type of effect on skeletal muscle involved a contracture and inhibition of the twitch response to nerve stimulation shown by a sample of clary sage, dill, fennel, frankincense, and nutmeg; ...lavender reduced the twitch response alone."Link
3.Associated topics: muscle-pain — "Herbalists treat skin ailments, such as fungal infections (like candidiasis), wounds, eczema, and acne, with lavender oil. It is also used in a healing bath for joint and muscle pain. One study evaluating treatments for children with eczema found [that] it was therapeutic touch from the mother that improved symptoms; in other words, massage with and without essential oils (including lavender) both reduced the dry, scaly skin lesions. Another study found that lavender oil may improve pain control after surgery."Link
