PastTense®: Tension Blend from dōTERRA®

About PastTense^®: Tension Blend from dōTERRA^®

Life in the modern world can leave a person feeling stressed, tense and out-of-sorts.  If this is ignored, it can lead to compromised health.  PastTense^® is a distinctive blend of nine CPTG^® essential oils, known for their soothing effects on both the mind and body.  These oils quickly ease muscle tension, in the neck and head, and calm emotions, to reduce the discomforts associated with tension and stress.

Expertly crafted from the CPTG^® essential oils of wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens), lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), peppermint (Mentha piperita), frankincense (Boswellia carterii), cilantro (Coriandrum sativum), marjoram (Origanum majorana), Roman chamomile (Anthemis nobilis), basil (Ocimum basilicum) and rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), PastTense^® has fresh, minty, herbal scent, that provides powerful, calming comfort for those times when life gets the better of you.

PastTense^® comes in a convenient 10mL roll-on, for easy application when at work, school, or home.  Simply apply to the neck and shoulders, or behind the ears, to help soothe tense muscles in the head and neck, as you breathe in its cooling, therapeutic aroma, to calm the emotions.

How to use:

PastTense^®: Tension Blend can be used aromatically or topically.  It is mild enough to be used neat.

• Topical use: Apply to desired area.  I feel that it’s best to apply to the temples and back of neck; although I’ve enjoyed applying it to the bald spot, on the top of my head.  It has a cooling, invigorating sensation that I love.  While PastTense^® is gentle enough to use neat, dilution with dōTERRA‘s fractionated coconut oil will minimize any possible skin sensitivity.  See additional precautions below.
• Aromatic use: PastTense^® can be diffused or inhaled.  But, any topical application will provide you with a great aromatic experience, as well.

Cautions: Possible skin sensitivity.  Keep out of reach of children.  If you are pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor’s care, consult your physician.  Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears and sensitive areas.

PastTense^® is the essential oil blend that I turn to most often.  It has a wonderful fragrance that you’ll want to wear anytime, and I’ve found it to provide really amazing reduction of that tension I get at the base of my skull.  I just roll some onto my neck, then massage it up toward the base of my skull.  I couldn’t live without it.
