PastTense is dōTERRA’s relaxation / tension blend, so the name speaks for itself. We think of PastTense as a physical oil not so much as something we would use for emotional support. However, the 9 oils in this blend work not only on the outer shell but also on the inner shell of our body. In this day and age it is more than common for us to be burnt out and fatigued beyond what our human bodies were ever meant to endure. When applying PastTense and addressing those inner fears and traumatic events we move into energy and balance and learn to appreciate life in a whole new way as our fears melt away.

What’s in PastTense?

This blend is comprised of nine essential oils that work together to cool and calm the skin, while also providing a calming aroma.

Wintergreen essential oil is primarily composed of methyl salicylate, which is widely known for providing a cooling, soothing sensation when applied topically.

The refreshing aroma of Peppermint is cooling and invigorating. Peppermint has been cultivated for its beneficial properties for thousands of years.

Frankincense promotes an atmosphere of peace and relaxation, as well as soothes the skin.

There are four herb oils in this blend: Basil, Rosemary, Marjoram, and Cilantro. Their refreshing, herbaceous aromas contribute to the unique scent of PastTense, and their topical properties increase its efficacy.

Lavender has a fresh floral scent and is soothing to the skin. As one of the most popular essential oils in the world, Lavender is widely known and used for its calming and relaxing aroma.

Roman Chamomile is a floral oil like Lavender, sharing similar qualities. Many people find its aroma resembles the scent of apples!
