Top 3 Favorite Essential Oil Products

Lavender Oil

Lavender is such a versatile oil safe for babies, children, elderly. For as long as I can remember my wife and I have used lavender along our babies spine + feet before bed, to promote a deep restful sleep. luckily all three have been very deep sleepers and who knows maybe its from all that acupuncture and oils while in the womb lol. My wife and I also have used Lavender essential oil + Coconut oil along the spine while we do body work, Acupressure, Cupping sessions helps the client sedate and relax deeper. We use lavender on upset tummies, colic, constipation, anxiety and stress.

doTERRA Deep Blue Rub

doTERRA Deep Blue Rub is a rich, topical cream infused with the Deep Blue Soothing Blend of CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils. Formulated with a proprietary blend of natural plant extracts and other powerful ingredients, Deep Blue Rub provides a comforting sensation of cooling and warmth to problem areas. Made with doTERRA’s top-selling Deep Blue essential oil blend of Wintergreen, Camphor, Peppermint, Blue Tansy, Matricaria (German Chamomile), Helichrysum, Ylang Ylang, and Osmanthus, Deep Blue Rub is an essential addition to your bathroom cabinet and gym bag. Deep Blue Rub is blended in a base of moisturizing emollients that leave your skin feeling soft and not greasy. It is the choice of massage therapists and sports practitioners who currently use doTERRA Deep Blue essential oil blend in their practice. I have used both personally and professionally "Deep blue rub" mainly for sore muscles and pain. It is a really unique formulation of essential oils to promote tissue healing.

doTERRA PastTense

Another favorite unique essential oil roll on I love is PastTense which I used before and after my stroke in 2014. Wonderful blend I mainly used for migraines, headaches and cervical tension. My personal results have been very very affective relief. The combination of these oils allow its user that sense of emotional grounding and balance. When your emotions are balanced, you are able to experience an uplift in your mood as stress and anxious thoughts diminish, replaced by happy memories associated with these fragrances.
PastTense Product Description
With a perfect mix of CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils, PastTense Tension Blend offers a convenient and easy way to ground and balance emotions. This proprietary blend was carefully crafted with essential oils that contain cooling, calming, and soothing properties and can be used in a variety of different ways to help reduce stressful and anxious feelings. The calming effects of PastTense oil can quickly be felt when applied to the neck, shoulders, or behind the ears. PastTense also comes in a 10mL roll-on bottle, which makes it convenient for quick access and on-the-go occasions.

Where to Buy PastTense
To buy a pure bottle of PastTense, visit the PastTense Tension Blend product page.

When essential oils are CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade quality, it means that they have undergone specific testing and have been found pure. Each batch of doTERRA essential oils undergoes the CPTG protocol which contains a series of strict tests that assess the purity of each essential oil. The CPTG process ensures that the essential oils that doTERRA sells are pure and high quality. Producing pure oils is important to doTERRA because they know that when oils are pure, they are strong and effective.

Many oils available for purchase today often contain filler substances and contaminants. These impurities decrease the effectiveness of an essential oil and reduce their ability to help individuals and families. Purchasing oils that are pure is key to receiving the full benefits and effects that an essential oil can offer.

PastTense Uses and Benefits

The selected essential oils that make up the PastTense tension blend are ideal for mind and mood. When applied topically, the PastTense essential oil blend helps promote grounded and balanced emotions. For quick access to these powerful benefits, apply PastTense to your neck, shoulders, or behind your ears.
Is your to-do list stacking up while your time is winding down? When you have too much to do and little time to do it in, feelings of stress can often be the unwanted product. Keep those stressful feelings at bay and welcome in calm feelings by applying a little PastTense oil. The PastTense essential oil blend is designed to help ease stressful feelings and is great for tense moments.
Take your PastTense oil with you wherever you go! PastTense was designed for convenient essential oil emotional support. Its 10mL roll-on structure is easy to carry in a pocket, purse, backpack, and much more. Next time you foresee a stressful situation, don’t worry; just keep your PastTense oil close for quick and convenient application when needed.
One of the best ways to overcome tense feelings is through massage. After a stressful day, massage PastTense into your shoulders, neck, and back for a cooling and soothing sensation. The PastTense essential oil blend will aid in releasing stressful feelings and is a perfect companion for a deep massage. Dilute PastTense with doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil to help maximize the reach of the blend while minimizing skin sensitivity.
Stressful situations are all around us, but that doesn’t mean we need to be stressed. Before your next test or public presentation, make sure to apply PastTense oil to your temples and the back of your neck. Applying PastTense oil will help calm your emotions and lessen anxious and stressful feelings.
Does traveling make you feel uneasy? You’re not alone. Traveling by plane, car, or boat can often bring on anxious or tense feelings. Before or during traveling, apply PastTense to your wrists. The grounding and soothing properties of this blend will help calm emotions, allowing you to relax and enjoy your journey.
Stay calm and keep your emotions in check during important meetings by using PastTense. Before a significant meeting, apply PastTense oil to the bottoms of your feet. The oil will absorb through the feet and allow your body to receive the benefits of PastTense faster. The PastTense essential oil blend will aid in decreasing tense and stressful feelings and will help you feel emotionally balanced during your meeting.
When experiencing a big life change, make sure to have PastTense oil close by. Big changes can be full of fun surprises, but they can also cause an increase of stressful and anxious feelings. Topically apply PastTense behind the ears to quickly reduce some of the negative feelings that accompany change.
Help your body and mind relax and unwind before taking a test. Apply some PastTense oil to your neck, shoulders, or behind your ears to help ease feelings of tension before an important exam. This will help reduce adverse emotions so that you can focus on the facts that really matter.
Who doesn’t feel overwhelmed every once in a while? When you’re experiencing an influx of stressed or tense feelings, use PastTense. The PastTense essential oil blend contains Lavender, Chamomile, and Frankincense. These ingredients have strong calming properties and will aid in calming emotions.

My Story + Clinical Research

Clinical Research

Here is my story the first time I was introduced to Juice Plus was in 2014 after I had a life altering Left MCL Stroke. I was hospitalized for 10 days and ended up being laid off from my corporate position of 10 years with that company. It was a really long journey of Post stroke recovery, yet I am so grateful for that experience that changed my life forever. I learned perseverance, patience, perspective, human healing potential, prayer, mindset, generosity, consistency and ultimately it taught me gratitude for life.

My Friend generously gave me some free bottles and told me this is very very important to take right now for your recovery. I was foolishly not insured and lucky that my wife is a passionate health care provider. I had a friend donate generously his time with gentle mild chiropractic adjustments and physical therapy 3x per week. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs by my wife 3x per week, she set me up with a somatic trauma specialist Pilates instructor who did various modalities to regain function on my right side. I also did speech therapy 3x per week and occupational therapy 3x per week. Honestly I just trusted and listened to my wife. Thankfully my mom was visiting and off set the pressure on us as she helped us tremendously with our boys.

I was 34 years old at the time and learned some deep lessons, importance of lifestyle, sleep, avoid energy drinks, manage my stress, listen to my body and most importantly we are what we eat. I am grateful for more recently choosing a mainly plant based lifestyle and we continue to take juice plus. This product is such high quality it is not sold in stores. The company's mission is to inspire healthy living they also promote that we grow our own greens on a tower garden. They also offer a healthy start for families program where if one adult is on the juice plus capsules or gummies, then one child can receive gummies for free. Here are more details about clinical research from reputable Medical journals. Feel free to visit http://castano.juiceplus.com
