DIY: Respiratory Raindrop Technique
Take your respiratory support to the next level with a Respiratory Raindrop! This is an adaptation of the Raindrop Technique using all your favorite respiratory oils. Applying these oils along the spine not only supports the respiratory system but also promotes relaxation and overall wellness.
How to do it:
- Start with clean hands and gather all of your available respiratory oils. Look in your Seeds of Thyme app or Essential Oils Pocket Reference book if you need ideas!
- Apply a drop or two of each respiratory oil—like Raven, RC, Peppermint, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Breathe Again—along the spine. Use a carrier oil to increase the comfort of the application.
- Use light feathering or massage motions to help the oils absorb.
- Finish with a warm compress over the spine to help the oils penetrate deeply.
You can do this as part of your nightly routine or whenever you feel like your lungs could use some extra love!
