Comparison of doTerra Past Tense and My-Grastick
Since these products (doTerra PastTense and My-Grastick, both purchased on Amazon) are so similar and I have purchased and used both, I thought it might be helpful to do a review comparing the two. As a long-time migraine sufferer (about 57 years now), anything that I can add to my arsenal of helpful migraine products is a good thing. Nothing, of course, cures migraines or takes the place of my meds. But when the meds take too long to kick in, when it's one of those migraines that lasts for days and nothing seems to help... these are both products that can help take the edge off the pain and make it a little more tolerable.It always helps to have something cooling on the back of my neck, and over my eyes, and on my temples when I have a migraine. My preferred go-to has always been an ice pack. But alas, since I work for a living, lying in bed with an ice pack is not always an option. Years ago, my chiropractor introduced me to Biofreeze. I love the product and went thru many tubes of it (there is also a roll-on version.) But both versions, while helpful at home, are too large to easily throw into my purse and have with me when I'm on the go. So I was excited, last year, when somebody introduced me to doTerra PastTense. And then recently I discovered and ordered some My-Grastick, thinking that it seemed a lot less expensive than the doTerra.Both products are similar, using essential oils to provide a tingling, cooling feeling. As it turns out, the two products are pretty similarly priced. DoTerra is $20.35 for a tiny roll-on bottle. My-Grastick is about $7.97. What I didn't realize until I received it is that the My-Grastick bottle is much tinier... 3 ml versus 10 ml for the DoTerra bottle. However, both are tiny enough to easily fit into a pocket or throw into the bottom of my purse and take with me anywhere. Clearly, though, I'll go through the My-Grasticks a lot faster so I'll need more of them. The advantage, though, is that I can buy 3 bottles of My-Grastick for the same price as one bottle of DoTerra... which means I can split them up, leave one in my desk at work, leave one in my purse, leave one next to my bed, etc. That makes it more cost effective if you want to have bottles handy in various places.Both products have a strong odor... and the primarily overwhelming odor of both is a mixture of lavender and peppermint oil... although the doTerra also has some other ingredients (wintergreen, frankincense, cilantro, marjoram, roman chamomile, basil, and rosemary). I don't particularly notice these other odors... mostly, I smell lavender and mint with both products. I know that some migraineurs hate ANY odors so this is a disadvantage for many. The smell doesn't particularly bother me as long as I quickly get that tingly cooling feeling on my head. But the doTerra odor is definitely a lot stronger (although preferable, since I prefer the odor of wintergreen to peppermint)... so I worry that it is going to annoy people around me if I use it when I'm out. The doTerra also seems to have a much stronger tingly sensation, which I like. It seems to work a lot faster and I don't need to use it as often. However, it also is much oilier to put on, and sometimes drips into my eyes which is agonizing (I have to grab a wet cool washcloth to get my eyes to stop stinging). And, since I occasionally use a Cefaly device, I have to remember not to use doTerra too close to using my Cefaly, because the oils definitely interfere with the ability of the Cefaly electrode patch to stick onto my forehead. The My-Grastick just generally seems milder, not as oily and not as smelly (good), but not as intense a tingly feeling (bad), so I seem to need to use more of it more often.There is a time and place for everything, and these are both good products for those times when it just isn't feasible to use an icepack. A cure? No, there is none. And as essential oils, these are both touted to help with relaxation. I find it near impossible to relax when I'm in pain. But both of these products, with their pluses and minuses, do a decent job of bringing my pain level down a notch, which is a good thing. So I am grateful for both, and will keep a supply of both products on hand at all times.

Not what I was hoping for
I have used DoTerra PastTense in the past. What I received was not the same, even the packaging was different. Mine came in an amber bottle that had been taped closed. Buyer Beware. I read reviews before purchasing and took the gamble. I won't be making that mistake again.

bad surprise it is not the original
Fake fake fake fakeDo NOT buy this. It is not original. I buy it before from AMAZON and it was original. This I buy it again : bad surprise it is not the original. It stinks. It came open. It was water, not oil and with a horrible disgusting odor. I have product from the website of doTERRA and I can tell you their product can be a bit pricing but it worst every penny. In the contrary this product I just received today it is totally not even close to the original doTERRA PAST-TENSESi I am doing a favor in sharing my experience, and if you want to take a chance and buy this product from amazon be my guess if you don't want to waste your money and make a real investment buy f knits original seller. I love AMAZON, I dislike very much unscrupulous seller who take advantage of this wonderful website to sell its fake product and desprestigiar the reputation of amazon, shame on them .
