BruisEase

1. I discovered a tip for sore muscles. The first day hiking at the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, we hiked up steep inclines and steep declines. By evening my thigh muscles were "screaming" at me. I could hardly get in and out of the car the next day. I believe it's the worst muscle pain I've ever felt from "exercise." That evening I applied BruisEase liberally on the painful muscles, and by the next morning, I was not sore at all! From then on, I applied a pain-relieving blend such as BruisEase, Arctic Ice or Pain Repair BEFORE hiking each day, and I had no more "screaming" muscles. My teenage son, who didn't use the oils, stayed sore. (I didnt realize his muscles were hurting like mine at the time, or I would have offered him the oils as well!) - Linda

2. I wanted to tell you that I just used the BruisEase for the first time. My mom had a huge knot and a lot of swelling on her arm. It was extremely painful and it brought tears to her eyes when I gently rubbed the oil on. It's now an hour later, the swelling and knot are down, and she said the pain is almost completely gone! Thank you, thank you!! - Becki S.

3. My daughter had her toe stepped on by one of our boarding horses this fall, and we really thought she would lose her toenail. We used BruisEase on it and it was better, without losing the nail, in just a number of days! - Rebecca G.

4. While doing yard work in my flip-flops, I hit the top of my middle toe really hard. It started to swell and turn purple immediately. The pain was so intense. I ran into the house and applied a few drops of BruisEase on top of the toe that was hurt, rubbed it in, and within minutes, the swelling was gone. It wasn't purple anymore and no more pain. Thank you, Hopewell, for this blend!! And to God be the glory for His healing oils. - Christy

5. BruisEase is fantastic! I had a nasty bruise on my heel and could hardly put weight on it. I put BruisEase on it for 2 days, and the bruise was gone, and it didn't hurt at all. - Tricia

6. I love BruiseEase oil, which works like magic mixed with coconut oil for sunburns. The next morning, the red of the sunburn is GONE! - Qadoshyah

7. Last week, I smashed my finger in the refrigerator door. The finger immediately began to swell and throb, and blood seeped from around the cuticle. Right away, I applied a few drops of BruiseEase. The pain stopped and the swelling disappeared within a few minutes. This fast-acting and effective blend would be a welcome addition to any medicine cabinet. - Emily

8. TendonEase and BruiseEase have been significantly effective in decreasing my pain from multiple chronic tendonitis issues, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) and fibromyalgia, which I've had for over a year. I had been on a regimen of physical therapy, Naproxen and Gabapentin for about 9 months before I discovered these oil blends, and even though they were essential in making progress and keeping things manageable, I still had daily pain that significantly impeded mobility and functionality as a professional art model and dancer. When I finally found TendonEase and Bruise Ease, I could use both of them on various areas, and within the first few hours, I felt a decrease in pain of about 20-30%! Since then, I have continued to apply them multiple times a day, often with massage, and have experienced a significant increase in my rate of progress in physical therapy, range of motion, and ability to handle normal life demands. I would say the TendonEase really takes the 'rawness' away from the tendons. The BruiseEase helps a lot with tissue-related pain, including muscle soreness and all the overcompensation stress that builds up around the affected area. I tend to overlap them in places. (Note: The oils did not enable me to discontinue the pain meds but were very successful when used in combination with the meds and gentle massage. Based on other reviews, I tried Pain X, ConnectEase and Ouch! but had much less success with these for my particular problems.) I also found the beautifully subtle and complex aromas of both TendonEase and BruiseEase to be very compatible and noticeably uplifting and inspiring, so I'm in a much more positive mood for either work or relaxation. I've also shared TendonEase with another dancer with similar foot problems, and she also reported significant success with both the pain decrease and aromatherapy. We will be placing another order together soon. For visually-oriented people, I recommend using a clear glass roll-on applicator for the TendonEase since it's such a pretty Prussian Blue color! BruiseEase is nearly colorless, so I like the cobalt blue glass applicator for a bit of color therapy. - Arielle

9. I was recently in Massachusetts with my grandboys. I was carrying the 19-month-old and slipped on the edge of a sidewalk and fell HARD on my knees.  After I got home, I went to my travel pack of essential oils and found BruisEase in there. I put some on my knee a couple of times each day. When I got home (4 days later) I went to the doctor to get an X-ray just to make sure there was nothing broken. The doctor asked me twice when I did it. I told her both times – 4 days ago. She said I am in shock because the coloring on your knee looks like it is 2 weeks old – not 4 days. I told her I had been putting BruisEase essential oil on it.  She said, "Well keep doing it because it is working." Nothing was broken – just a very bad bruise. Praise The Lord!!! - Cheryl
