The Science & Application of Essential Oils Video
Practical instruction on the everyday use of therapeutic-grade essential oils, now in DVD format
The Science & Application of Essential Oils Video is, in my opinion, one of the most useful resources to maximize your experience with therapeutic-grade essential oils anywhere. Aside from the Essential Oils Desk Reference, I have received more practical — really usable — information from this video than from any other resource on aromatherapy.
The Science & Application of Essential Oils Video is a 42-minute presentation, packed full of some of the most helpful information on aromatherapy applications that you will find anywhere. It was the original RainDrop Technique video (which has since been up-dated and enhanced several times, as Gary Young continues his on-going pattern of discovery).
What makes The Science & Application Video so helpful?
What I like best about this video — what I have used the most in my own practice of medicinal aromatherapy — is Gary Young's clear and detailed demonstration of the Vita-Flex Technique.
While the RainDrop Technique is a truly amazing application of therapeutic-grade essential oils, and the RainDrop Video is an excellent way to learn this revolutionary aromatherapy application, you can't very well do RainDrop on yourself; and finding someone who knows how to perform it on you is not always possible. But, the Science & Application of Essential Oils Video can be easily adapted for use on yourself. And, instead of just working the spine — as in the RainDrop Technique Video — the Science & Application of Essential Oils Video shows you how to affect basically every organ system in your body. On yourself, or with even a minimally-trained helper.
What you'll find on the Science & Application of Essential Oils Video
In the RainDrop Video, Gary Young shows how to apply oils on the feet and along the spine and in-step of the feet, using the Vita-Flex Technique for problems related to the spine; but in the Science & Application of Essential Oils Video, he presents a much more detailed demonstration of this technique for the points along the spine.

But, he goes beyond this, to show how you can use therapeutic-grade essential oils and essential oil blends for other things. For example, he shows how to: |
This is information that my family and I use every day. I do Vita-Flex on my own feet almost every day, and have used Gary's demonstrations on this video for a host of other things for me and my family. (See my description of an oil session for more details.)
I simply cannot imagine my life without the things I've learned from this video.
Along with the Essential Oils Desk Reference and the RainDrop Technique Video, the Science & Application of Essential Oils Video forms a very solid foundation for the effective use of therapeutic-grade essential oils.
My personal opinion: In terms of everyday, practical use — for those not working professionally in massage therapy — you may find this video more helpful than the RainDrop Technique Video. It puts the amazing power of aromatherapy at your fingertips (if you'll excuse the pun) in a way that nothing else will. It's not a replacement for the Essential Oils Desk Reference, but it will enhance the effectiveness of what you do with the Desk Reference many times over.
