ConnectEase

[HEO's Comment: This is great feedback! As a word of encouragement, you may find that the aroma will “grow” on you . . . and you may also find that you can add more carrier to the roll-on applicator as you use the oil, and less essential oils (more carrier) will help buffer the aroma as well. You want to find that “sweet spot" where it’s strong enough to work for the pain, yet is not nauseating. Most likely it is the German Chamomile that you object to. The aroma of German Chamomile used to “repulse” me, but now I find that I desire it. It’s a key component for inflammation. I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to share this. Please let me know if you find a way to actually like the aroma :) ]

7. I got ConnectEase for my mother-in-law, who often suffers from fibromyalgia and other aches and pains. She loves essential oils and is always up for trying natural remedies. I gave it to her Sunday, and asked that she give me feedback. She had it in a roll-on applicator diluted at 25%. Today, she said that although the smell is strong (and pleasant), she has felt no impact whatsoever. I'm really sorry to report this, as we both really enjoy your oils! - Holly

8. I received a complimentary roll-on bottle of Connect Ease (diluted at 25%) thinking I would have someone with RA try it out. Before I gave it to her, I thought I would give it a try first on my sore neck muscles. I couldn’t believe that within minutes I was relieved of the tenderness in my neck muscles. Limited range of motion in my neck makes driving tricky.  I am hoping this will not only relieve the pain but will increase my ability to turn my head. Thank you SO much. - Joan

9. I love this new oil combination. The smell is so wonderful that I am using it all over. I tore up my knees back in 1973 and multiple times since then. This oil blend works great for pain/discomfort that I live with daily. I highly recommend it. It is amazing, and the fragrance is so wonderful. Thank you for creating this lovely new blend. - Cindy

10. The day I received ConnectEase I had cut the lawn, and after a little while I felt an odd pain in my abdomen. applied it at 25% dilution on the area where I felt the discomfort and I immediately felt the release. No more odd pain! Talk about good timing! - Michelle K.

11. Thank you so much for offering the ConnectEase blend. I’ve been struggling with knee issues for the past couple months and have been using Pain-X, Resolve and Pain Repair at different times to ease the pain. When I saw the email about ConnectEase and looked up the ingredients, I knew I needed to try it. It’s been absolutely amazing. I started seeing a chiropractor who as been doing some adjustments for my knee cap, and in the evenings afterwards, I tend to be in a lot of pain. I put ConnectEase at 25% dilution on and the pain is gone almost immediately. I was shocked at how well it helped. It’s quickly become my favorite one for joint/muscle pains. Thank you again! - Sarah

12. What a wonderful new oil blend - CONNECTEASE. It quickly reduces the unique pain of fibromyalgia as well as normal aches and pains. I also found that it worked well on a recent hip hairline fracture. Thank you, Hopewell, for constantly working to provide pure oils that help our health and wellness. - Peggy

13. I’m beginning to use ConnectEase at 25% dilution and I’m finding that it takes pain away immediately! A few more days of trying it and I’ll send an update. - Tina K.

 

14. I have been using ConnectEase at 25% dilution on my ankle which is still feeling the affects of a serious break and surgery from last October. It helps with the pain and stiffness. My son also uses ConnectEase for his headaches and neck pain. Thank you for making this new blend and helping us to heal. - Sheri

15. I have had a bad knee off and on for sometime. I started using ConnectEase at 25% dilution and am feeling relief from swelling and weakness. Also I love the aroma and silky smoothness of this blend. I plan to use on my arthritic toes.  - Cindy

16. I have a hip that “will” need hip surgery, but at this point doc says not yet. I have been using Copaiba, Birch, Black Spruce and Balsam Fir with coconut oil. I just use a couple of squirts of coconut oil and then add 2-3 drops each of the oils. This combination has really helped. I did not know how much it was helping until I tried the ConnectEase in place of what I was using. I don’t really have pain so to speak, but when I am walking, or when I get up from a seated position or make a sudden turn, my hip will “give out” so to speak. When I use my concoction of oils on my hip twice a day, I don’t have that problem so much. For me, the ConnectEase at 25% dilution did not work as well as what I am already using. I am wondering if the reason is because mine is more joint/arthritis, not sure but a thought.  But I do appreciate you allowing me to try the ConnectEase! I can highly recommend the above combination however. I also added Lavender and Helichrysum Corsican to what I am using to see how that works. - Jennie
[HEO’s Comment: Your choice of oils (Copaiba, Birch, Black Spruce and Balsam Fir) make an excellent blend, and I can see how they fit your need better than ConnectEase. It’s s also an advantage that you apply this more liberally rather than limited to a roll-on applicator. You may also want to consider eating an anti-inflammatory diet and supplement with turmeric and possibly bromelain. You probably already know all that :) I hope you can avoid the surgury! Birch is one of my favorites for bone issues such as yours. I also like adding Peppermint and Helichrysum with Birch for bone issues (basically, our Pain-X blend).]

17. I have peripheral neuropathy in my hands and my fingers are stiff and painful. I applied ConnectEase at 25% dilution to the the joints of my fingers, and within a few minutes the pain was almost unnoticeable. I’m very pleased with the results. Thanks for this amazing oil. - Dorothy

18. Thank you for ConnectEase. I had you ship it to my mother. She loves it! She has some chronic pain/nerve inflammation of her hip. She has been using it a little while now and says it's MUCH more effective than her Pain-X/Lemongrass combo. She says she's not totally pain free but this has been making it a lot more tolerable. She says she will be ordering a supply. Thanks and God bless you! - Dee Young

19. My stress, physical or emotional, always lands in my shoulder. I have a been using ConnectEase for a chronic tight muscle. I can feel release within minutes of rolling it on the knot. It is good to have relief without the strong scent of menthol. Thank you, Hopewell, for sharing this new blend. - Claudia

20. I used ConnectEase once a day for four days on my knees. My knees have been painful and stiff for many years. Occasionally when standing up, my left knee would lock in a bent position and I could not get to my feet. The left knee was injured in a car accident 27 years ago and the right knee was injured when I fell hard 8 years ago. After using ConnectEase once a day for four days, both knees are now flexible and the stiffness is gone along with all the popping and cracking when walking up stairs. My husband has been extremely stiff in his back since he was a child. He had to wear one of those horrible, metal scoliosis braces for a time, which may have been what caused his back to become so stiff and sore.  Our chiropractor finally said he could not help him because he could not move anything on his back. I have been rolling ConnectEase in a roll-on applicator diluted at 25% down his spine and about 4 inches on each side every morning and the difference is quite amazing. He also has a stiff and swollen index finger from 38 years of typing on a keyboard all day. Applying the oil  has resulted in much less swelling and pain. I am ready to recommend this to all our 60-something friends! Thanks for allowing us to try this blend! - Lana

 

21. I have a mixed reaction to using ConnectEase. It works well for arthritis in my neck and back, but the odor is offensive, and since I spend most of my days with teenagers, that is not a go for me. I assure you that I am a total fan of all the other Hopewell products so far, and I would absolutely recommend your company. - Nancy

22. My shoulder was aching on one side so I tried the ConnectEase rollerball [25% dilution] on my shoulder and the pain was gone immediately! A few weeks later I woke up in the middle of the night with my knee aching. I got up and put ConnectEase on it, and within minutes the pain was gone. - Cheryl A.

23. ConnectEase wasn't what we expected, but it was incredible! I have Chronic Fatigue and Lupus, and when I ordered it I was expecting to primarily use it on me. I used it for a few days and it was helpful, however, I quickly passed it to my husband and he has finished the bottle with incredible results! 
    My husband is an electrician, so he crawls in attics and is on his knees a lot. Five years ago he had a baker's cyst that was huge and problematic. We got rid of it completely with oils from Hopewell. At the end of January while he was crawling through an attic he felt something go in his knee. He had pain and a baker's cyst from that moment on. We are thinking it is two separate things, but they aggravate each other. We started him on the oils for the baker's cyst, and they helped, but they didn't get rid of it. 
    Around mid-March we realized he needed medical help, but couldn't get it due to the virus event of 2020. His pain and discomfort would really vary. After talking with friends with knee issues and looking online he was wondering if he had a torn meniscus and on occasion the flap would go the wrong way and cause excruciating pain that disabled him completely. I recalled the Hopewell website saying previously people had relief using Nerve Pain oil for torn meniscus, so I had him try that about the time ConnectEase arrived. He used it a couple days and then I had him try the new ConnectEase at 25% in a roll-on applicator as well. Within a couple days his knee was doing considerably better; the best it had been since January! 
    He has kept on with ConnectEase instead of Nerve Pain and has been doing great! Before he started on it he was trying to get a doctor’s appointment and was thinking he would have to have surgery! We have been simply amazed at what this oil blend has done for him. We realize that you use oils for their properties and not choose them for their fragrance, but we both enjoy the smell of this blend as well.  I will be ordering more. I want to be able to try it on a longer stretch, and he still needs it for his knee. We are very impressed and hope you keep this blend around!  Thank you! - Sandy

 

24. I wanted to try ConnectEase diluted at 25% in a roll-on applicator for arthritis and joint pain in my neck, lower back, and knee/hand joints. Within a few minutes, I received complete relief in my neck and it did help with the pain in other places as well, it just takes longer. Some of my pain in my back is nerve related, and it helped with that also. I usually use Fire Power, but I think between the both of them, I can get some good and steady relief. So far, it's an excellent blend for me. Thank you! - Sharon

25. I am a woman in my mid-60's diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and several chronic pain issues related to joints and muscles. I have 2 full knee replacements, a torn labrum (hip) plus a hip that the doctors say needs a full replacement, and the other one a year or two behind. I have chronic back issues due to arthritis as well. I get headaches from neck pain on a regular basis. The pain from these issues can be quite debilitating at times especially after being on my feet or walking. I like to use Pain-X, but I was excited to try ConnectEase on my muscles and joint pain. First, I like the smell, which is important to me as I am very sensitive to scents and react badly to some EOs. Next I feel that I have gotten relief using ConnectEase [diluted at 25%] on my knees, sciatic nerve area over the back of my hips, lower back and especially on my neck which helps the chronic headaches. I have used ConnectEase several times a day when the pain is the worst and get a good amount of pain relief within 30 minutes. I would consider purchasing ConnectEase and alternating it with Pain-X. Thank you. - Vickilynn

26. I used ConnectEase from a roll-on applicator diluted at 25% for 1 week and received much relief! I waited a little over a week to respond to observe my back and shoulders. I have degenerative discs in my neck, so I have much tightness in my neck and shoulders. I have two large, tight muscles in each shoulder; it feels like two large knots. When I wake in the mornings, my neck is stiff. I rolled on ConnectEase on the tight knots in my shoulders, and up my neck where I am stiff in the mornings.  Within a 1/2 hour or so, my pain resided. At the end of the day, I usually roll more on my shoulders and neck again and continue to receive relief. I also have a numb spot in my back. I rolled Connect Ease on this spot, and I began to receive feeling back in the spot that is numb. Lastly, I have a tingling in my leg sometimes. When I massage my leg, I can feel the nerve that is very tender. I rolled the spot with ConnetEase and received relief. I miss this awesome oil tremendously. I cannot wait any longer; I will continue to keep ConnectEase as one of my go to oils for muscle and nerve pains. Thank you! - Becky in Louisiana

27. Thank you for the ConnectEase. I use it at 25% dilution in a roll-on applicator. It has been helpful in relieving increasing symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome in both of my wrists. It is a lovely smelling blend as well. - Stari

28. ConnectEase worked so great for me that I want my father to try it. We have been using a different EO product for arthritis in our hands, and I believe the Connect Ease works better.  So thank you so very much. - Andrea 

29. Thank you for the new combination oil, ConnectEase. I used it every day when I first got it, and now I only occasionally need to use it on my injured knee. Within minutes I have relief. - Diane

30. I have 2 folks using ConnectEase for rotator cuff injury and bicep issues. It does ok, but they like HEO's Strength blend better. - Nikki

31. I’ve been trying ConnectEase at 25% diluiton for neck, knee and elbow pain (around the muscles, not the bony areas), joint pain around the fingers and lastly for muscle recovery after a walk. Wow, I sound like a mess!  Haha! I’m sorry that it’s not working for me as well as Pain-X, which has wonderful effects on muscles, Regeneration (the most effective one for me) helps muscles and joints and Copaiba on its own for muscle pain. - Tess

32. My mother has suffered for a long time with the fibromyalgia, and in the past 4 months or so she's had increased pain, especially in the neck, shoulders and left arm (and occasionally in the right arm). We used the new ConnectEase blend on her with gentle massage, but the pressure from any massage caused her increased pain. So, with further application, we lightly rubbed it in. Unfortunately, she didn't receive any relief from the blend. We do however, believe that she had been so tense and tight from the constant pain for so long that we probably were way behind the ball. On a better note, the Copaiba I bought seems to be just what the she needed. I have had her taking two drops under the tongue three times a day. Being that the Copaiba is an anti-inflammatory, I think it is reducing the inflammation from the chronic pain (leading to tight muscles) and, Praise to God!, bringing relief! - Teri

33. We've used ConnectEase at 25% on 10 occasions and it seems to work pretty well for mild to moderate pain. For sizable back pain, we need to rub on arnica and/or Pain-X. I've never used a roller bottle before and I really appreciate the portability of it. Nice! - Fran
UPDATE: I had told you previously about the help that Connect Ease has been on minor back pain, but since then I have found an even better use for it in regard to my own needs. I have found, with the help of my excellent acupuncture doctor (who is also a cardiologist, pharmacologist and DO) that the ocular migraines I was experiencing were caused by the constriction of muscles in my neck and shoulders. (BTW that constriction was caused by high winds!) By using my dandy little roller bottle of ConnectEase on those tight muscles, I had pretty quick relief from the visual disturbances as well as the facial sinus pain. Is that not very cool? Thanks so much and many blessings to you all. - Fran

34. My friend Norma struggles with lots of pain from Fibromyalgia. [I gave her a roll-on of ConnectEase at 25% dilution.] Here is her review of your product: "Can you get me more of that oil? It doesn't take away all of my pain, but I would say it takes away about 60% of the pain. I tried it on my knee, as that is an area of particular pain and inflammation. I applied it at night because I have so much trouble getting up and moving in the morning. I was able to move better on those mornings after I had applied the oil. I think this oil would be most useful in a cream so that it is easy to rub on larger areas of the body.  The roll-on bottle is too small to quickly cover all of the areas that I want to apply the oil." Our family is so thrilled to have found something that helps Norma as much as your oil helped her. I hope that soon we can order some for our friend and two other friends who suffer from Fibromyalgia. - Rachel

35. I LOVE the ConnectEase diluted at 25%. I have been having a considerable amount of pain in my right leg, enough to keep me awake at night. There is almost immediate relief after I apply the ConnectEase. Thank you so much! - Cheryl

36. ConnectEase has helped with numerous musculoskeletal problems I deal with. - Carol

37. I requested ConnectEase in a roll-on applicator at 25% for my husband to use for a tendonitis-type pain he had in his elbow. He had previously used Pain-X, and it helped with the pain but it would come back a few hours later. He started using the ConnectEase, and within 3 days the pain was gone! So he decided to try ConnectEase on his wrist which has a ligament that was torn years ago (can't be repaired) and arthritis. ConnectEase blend helped that too! The wrist issue is chronic so it will not make it better long term, but it's great that it helps. We also used it on my neck/shoulders which get tight due to arthritis. The ConnectEase helped a lot with the muscle tightness. It has a fairly strong odor which my husband did not like at first, but he got used to it and it doesn't bother him now. Thank you for this blend! - Mary Anne

38. I wanted to give a testimony of how well the ConnectEase worked for my son. He is 17 and is an athlete who goes full force. During his off season he discovered he had patella tendinitis. The doctor prescribed him 500 milligrams of ibuprofen as needed. It didn’t even take his pain away, so when I saw the information about ConnectEase, I decided to try it. The first time he used it there was immediate relief. So now whenever he feels pain in his knee, he uses it and the pain is gone. Thank you so much for this oil combination. We will definitely keep using it. - Leah
[HEO’s Comment: They used ConnectEase diluted at 25% from a roll-on applicator.]

39. ConnectEase [used from a roll-on applicator at 25%] has made a difference in my day to day life. I’m diagnosed with fibromyalgia, diabetic neuropathy, and arthritis. I have been applying it to my feet and arms. Most times the relief is instantaneous. Other times it takes a few hours but I always wake up ready to walk and able to work. What a blessing you are to me and many like me. God continue to bless you and use you to help bring healing the way God intended. Blessings - Onnelly

40. My husband had pain in his thumb joint for weeks (possibly carpal tunnel?). He has used about 3/4 of ConnectEase roll-on bottle [25% dilution] over about 1-1/2  months and his pain has improved somewhat (about 40-50% better). Please note that he has also sometimes tried to use his thumb in different ways to help with the pain. Thank you! - Diana

41. I ordered it for my sister who has severe fibromyalgia pain in her jaw, neck, and shoulders. She absolutely loves it. Within minutes of applying it the pain was gone. She has repeatedly said it's a lifesaver and allows her to sleep better because she has no pain.  She states it's also helping her inflammation. It has a nice a smell too, which is a bonus! - Jamie

42. The new ConnectEase is a good and most helpful blend. My husband and I are in our sixties and there are times we have an ache and some pain with our bodies. It really seems to be helping and a go-to when fingers, thumb, back of neck and bottom of feet are flaring up! Thanks Hopewell! - Karen

43. I have been using ConnectEase at 25% dilution on my knees which feel the affects of age and work related stiffness and pain. It helps with the pain and stiffness. I have also tried this new roller for headaches and neck pain with great success!  My husband also uses ConnectEase for his stiff hands and joint pain and has been extremely happy with the relief it brings him. Thank you for making this new blend and sharing with us!  - A. Jones

44. ConnectEase is helping with my foot cramps. I will be ordering in the furture. - Marlyce

45. I liked the sample of the ConnectEase! I'm a massage therapist and have had soreness with my thumbs/joints.  I used the ConnectEase and it has helped with the discomfort tremendously!! - Kimmy

46. The oils in ConnectEase have helped to ease severe pain of Fibromyalgia. It feels good for several hours. The aroma pleases me, as I have a personal affinity for the blue oils and those which compliment them. To send the oils deeper, I roll on a blend of Magnesium Oil and DMSO, which is stored in a larger 4-ounce refillable roll on bottle.  I soon plan to make up some 4 ounce size roll-on bottles with ConnectEase, Mag Oil and DMSO to have ready when needed, and I will be sharing these with friends in need.  - Gail

47. I had an injury and I experienced a lot of relief from pain using ConnectEase across the bones on my shoulder and the muscles. It seems to penetrate deeply and work very well. I am very happy with this product and will order more. My pain level went from a 6 to a 1 after a few applications to my shoulder 15 minutes apart. - Gerald G.
