The following is from Mayo Clinic:
Norovirus: With norovirus — the most common cause of viral gastroenteritis in adults and children — you're contagious from the moment you begin to feel ill. Symptoms usually appear within one to two days of exposure. Although you typically feel better after a day or two, you're contagious for up to three days after you've recovered. Some people may be contagious for up to two weeks after recovery (as it sheds through the stool).
Rotavirus: Symptoms of rotavirus — the leading cause of viral gastroenteritis in infants and young children — usually appear one to three days after exposure. But you're contagious even before you develop symptoms, and up to two weeks after you've recovered.
 
The viruses that cause gastroenteritis are spread through close contact with infected people, such as by sharing food or eating utensils, and by touching contaminated surfaces and objects. Washing your hands often with soap and water and using hand sanitizer is the most effective way to stop the spread of these viruses to others.

Application Suggestions (See Essential Oil Usage for more information and a Dilution Chart.)

*See SAFETY information at the bottom of this page.

Topical: Dilute with a carrier oilunscented lotion or unscented cream and apply on area of concern or as desired. Consider using a roll-on applicator for ease of application of prediluted oil. Maximum topical dilution is 9%.

Children: Not suitable for children under 5 due to Anise. For children over 5, please follow the Dilution Chart on the Babies and Children page. 
Consider HEO's Tummy Soothe blend as a suitable alternative.

Inhalation: Diffuse or use a personal Nasal Inhaler

Internal: Digestion Support is suitable for internal use within safe parameters if such use is deemed appropriate. The maximum daily oral dose is 4 drops. We feel that internal use is rarely *needed* and should only be used with respect for how concentrated the oils are. HEO does not advocate internal use of essential oils without appropriate knowledge and understanding of how to administer, for what purpose, how much, which essential oils, safety concerns and so on. In our experience, essential oils are generally more effective used topically with proper dilution or inhaled. Kurt Schnaubelt, Ph.D. notes that "French aromatherapy literature contains many references to using oils orally." He goes on to note that "generally 1 drop is always enough when ingesting essential oils." A potential toxicity hazard could occur when untrained people use essential oils orally and ingest too much. Keep in mind that while medical doctors or health care practitioners may prescribe essential oils for internal use, they are trained and experienced in the safe application of essential oils. It is not a matter of using "French" or "British" methods, it's a matter of experience and appropriate application. Click here for more information about internal usage.

1. Our daughter has Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome), and one aspect of T-21 is low muscle tone, which may result in chronic constipation. Even though I only nursed her from birth, she had trouble passing stools because her colon lacked the tone to push. After several months of resorting to using glycerin suppositories, I became aware of using essential oils. I tried the Digestion Support blend by simply rubbing a few drops on her abdomen. Within twenty minutes, she had a bowel movement. I applied Digestion Support on her abdomen at every diaper change for many months, and she never had another constipation issue. Eventually, I didn’t need to use the Digestion Support because the consistent use seemed to strengthen her colon. I still use it once daily because I believe it is good for her in other ways: better digestion and parasite prevention. – Linda

2. This is the blend to have for the stomach bug. Just rub some on your abdomen or put a smidgen on the back of a hand and lick it off. Hold your tongue to the roof of your mouth. It abates the vomiting and diarrhea immediately for our family! Great oils! – R.W.

3. The other day, our family got a stomach bug, and I put the Digestion Support on all of us. It stopped the bug in its tracks. Awesome! - P.B.

4. My newborn baby was experiencing discomfort as her digestion system learned how to work [colic]. I decided to rub some Digestion Support on the bottoms of her feet. She relaxed and dirtied her diaper within minutes. - B.C.

5. My husband's niece was experiencing morning sickness so she almost couldn't go to work. I sent her a bottle of Digestion Support, and she reported that it helped almost immediately!! What a testimony! Just had to share that with you. - M.H.
[Due to cautions associated with using Anise and Fennel, we suggest that pregnant and breastfeeding mamas consider using HEO's Tummy Soothe blend instead of Digestion Support.]

6. My teenage daughter was suddenly taken with something that felt like a stomach bug or something violent anyway. She was heaving and retching, and she sounded very faint.  I found her on the bathroom floor, trembling and shaking uncontrollably, almost about to faint, unable to go for medications or anything. My first choice with a stomach bug is to get activated charcoal down, but her stomach was so queasy she had trouble getting it down. I then fetched the sample of Digestion Support that I'd ordered and told her to rub it on her stomach since she was feeling too queasy to put anything in her mouth.  To our amazement, within just a few minutes after applying the oils, she started feeling much better, and the nausea eventually subsided enough that she could go to sleep. - J.H.

7. I just wanted to update you on my son (constipation due to Down Syndrome).  The Digestion Support worked!!!  Praise God!!  His bowel movements weren't painful and it's wonderful!!  Unfortunately, he had a touch of the flu, so we stopped treatment for a few days since he was so miserable already---and now we are back to square one, but I'm so excited that it works for him!  It's an answer to prayer!  I'm looking forward to trying more of the oils. :) Thanks again! ~ S.E. (a very pleased mom :)

8. My husband and I were having breakfast, and he started having severe pain from a kidney stone. His last experience was 4 years ago. After walking around the living room in large circles, holding his side and moaning, he went into our bathroom thinking he was going to vomit. I found him curled up on the floor. I thought about your wonderful oils and asked the Lord that if I have an oil that will give him relief, please help me know what to do. (I only have 4 different kinds!) I left the room and started searching the internet for some guidance. I was clearly told during that time to put Digestion Support on his side. Well, he let me put it on. About 3 minutes later, I found him in our bedroom resting fairly comfortably on his side. He said he thought the oil worked. A little later (another 3 minutes), the moaning started and he asked for more. After applying it the second time, that was it. He hasn’t had any pain since that time. We are, of course, just waiting for it to move or for it to try exiting, but for the time being, he feels very blessed! I want to thank you again for doing what you are clearly called to do. You’re helping people that you don’t even know. I am very grateful.

9. I wanted to tell you that I absolutely love the Digestion Support blend. I have had heartburn, reflux, bloating, etc for years. I have been taking Nexium, but I have recently noticed that it just isn't working as well. I've had severe issues with heartburn and reflux in spite of the Nexium. In fact, I had to take Tagament 1-2x a day on top of the Nexium. I ordered your Digestive Support and took it internally 4-6 drops per capsule twice daily. My symptoms have disappeared, and I am hoping to be able to stop taking the Nexium soon. I don't know if I'm taking too much of the Digestive Support, but it hasn't bothered me so far. I just wanted to let you know my success so far. - M.W.?[HEO's Comment: 6 drops twice daily is likely much more than necessary. We suggest starting with a drop or two diluted with a carrier oil.]

10. My husband has been on every medication available for acid reflux. He even had surgery to widen his esophagus and other remedies to no avail. He started putting a few drops of Digestion Support in a glass of water at night, and he no longer has problems with acid reflux! This stuff is amazing! He did it every night for a couple of weeks, and now he only does it about once a week as a maintenance/preventative measure. -L.W.

11. The Digestion Support has worked well for staving off vomiting with a stomach bug and even prevented a food poisoning episode. Thank you for this formula. - C.G.

12. I read about your digestion blend on a website for children who have Down syndrome. My 11-month-old has very sluggish bowels, having a movement every 5-7 days. I mixed 3 drops of your blend with a teaspoon of olive oil and rubbed onto his abdomen after feeding. He had a bowel movement within an hour! Thank you so much. ~ B.J.L.

13. My son-in-law had acute diarrhea, and two drops of Digestion Support rubbed on his abdomen cured it instantly. - B.B.

14. I used to have severe attacks with diverticulitis, but since applying Digestion Support on my naval morning and night, I have not had one more attack. I love these oils. - J.F.

15. The oils never cease to amaze me!  Our 6-year-old daughter woke up on Saturday morning with a headache and nausea.  She had a low-grade fever and just didn't feel well.  I put some Digestion Support on her tummy, and within minutes, she said her tummy felt MUCH better.  She still complained of her head hurting, though.  I rubbed some Peppermint on her neck, and again, in minutes, she was telling me her head no longer hurt.  She was all better by the end of the day and we could go to church together as a family on Sunday with no one having to stay home due to a sick child.  What a blessing! - A.K.

16. Our special needs daughter, who has epilepsy, needed enemas once a week to help her with constipation. After reading the testimonies about Digestion Support, I decided to try it, as I didn't think it could do any harm. I know there are oils in this blend that some say to be cautious of if one has epilepsy, but we felt to give it a try because the constipation issue is a huge problem for her. One drop on the belly button every morning, and without fail, she has a bowel movement. There have been no epileptic issues with it at all. - Susy

17. My baby daughter had been constipated for 2 weeks and the only way I could ever get her to go was with a glycerin suppository. She is only breastfed, and I am very careful to avoid any gluten or dairy in my diet. The Digestion Support arrived yesterday and I applied it right away. She pooped twice today! This stuff is amazing! Thank you so much. I don't think I have ever been so happy to clean a blow-out diaper, but I look forward to many more. :) - A.N.  
[Due to cautions associated with using Anise and Fennel, we suggest for babies and young children under age 5 that one consider using HEO's Tummy Soothe blend instead of Digestion Support.]

18. I have suffered from IBS [Irritable Bowel Syndrome] for many years. I'll have gas, then severe pain in my abdomen, and debilitating diarrhea. I had Peppermint, which helped, but I didn't really deal with it like I'd hoped, so I ordered Digestion Support. I put 2 drops of Peppermint and about 4 drops of Digestion Support in a capsule and filled the rest with Olive oil. One capsule did wonders for me. A few hours later, I was so impressed that I took another capsule for good measure. This protocol has stopped the gas and none of the other symptoms have occurred. I am thrilled and now very impressed with your essential oils! - E.T. [HEO's comment: While this worked well for E.T., we'd suggest topical use (appropriately diluted) first, and then if one wanted to try the oils orally, we suggest using them with more dilution and/or under the care of a health care provider acquainted with oral use.]

19. My husband has had GERD (a bad form of acid reflux) for years. He was on a very expensive medication that was not covered by insurance. He is now 100% off of it due to using Digestion Support from Hopewell Essential Oils. He takes it at night before bed with water. He also has Keifer on hand if he has a bad flair-up. I have been AMAZED at the difference!!! - Bekah

20. Digestion Support "cured" my son's colic. I diluted it with virgin coconut oil, and today he is passing loose stools (they are just right!). Great blend! - Maria

21. We've used Digestion Support for motion sickness with great results. I have my little ones rub a drop or two on their tummies. They also inhale the aroma from their palms. Works great! - Jerri

22. The stomach bug hit me in the middle of the night with relentless vomiting and diarrhea. I grabbed our bottle of Digestion Support, put a quick drop on the back of my hand and licked it off, anticipating the next surge of vomit. Amazingly to me, I felt better within the minute. I hung around the bathroom, but all episodes ended with that one drop. I cleaned up and went back to bed. By morning, I felt a little tired but was fine. This stuff is amazing! ~ L.S.

23. I want to share how impressed I am with Digestion Support. Last night, I began feeling very nauseous and went to lie down, assuming it would be a rough night. My daughter brought the Digestion Support to me, and I put one drop in a little coconut oil and took it by mouth. Within less than 5 minutes, the nausea had toned down significantly. I had a very mild "girgliness" but that's it. I slept through the night just fine, and this morning, everything is back to normal. Thank you. - Elaine

24. I have a somewhat embarrassing testimony. For the new year, we got a juicer to add to our healthier living. Yesterday was Day 2 of using it, and after I drank about a liter of vegetable juice from it, I had horrible stomach pain and cramping to where I could barely walk (too much, too fast, from what I gather). I used your Digestion Support blend, and within 10 minutes, the pain went away enough for me to function normally, and within 30 minutes, it was completely gone. - Kimberly

25. I put two drops of Digestion Support on my abdomen in desperation to stop the vomiting I had, and not only did I not throw up again after the first application, but in less than 60 seconds, I seriously felt my stomach get noticeably more peaceful. I still had nausea all day, so I reapplied it every 3-4 hours, and each time I, felt immediately better for a while. - Cathy S.

26. This stuff is amazing for the stomach bug! Place a drop on the back of your hand, lick it off and voila! I didn't even need to take all my Tamiflu. I took it for 2 days, but while I was waiting for the script to fill, I took Digestion Support, and it took the nausea feeling right away! - Bobbie

27. I LOVE the Digestion Support. It works well not only for me but my grandsons as well. A little in his belly button (he thinks this is great), and then I touch a drop to the roof of his mouth. Nausea and pain are gone! - Laurie L.

28. I LOVE this EO!! It is probably my favorite to add to water to drink. Works great when you need it also! - Loretta M.

29. Digestion Support is a great blend. I love it! It helps so much that I have not had to take my Zantac since my first application. My MD told me to put 3 drops in a little bit of water and drink it. I also apply it to my tummy when I can't drink it. Both methods work to alleviate gas and heartburn. - Susana F.

30. I cannot thank you enough for Digestion Support! It has been a real blessing to our family. Monday at work, I noticed that my stomach was not behaving as it should, and I took a dose of Digestion Support after lunch. We've had a virus sweeping through our area, and I must have had contact over the weekend. My stomach settled completely for the day. The next morning, I made it to work but was suddenly taken by a wave of nausea that quickly progressed to almost vomiting, except I had the Digestion Support ready. I began taking drops and held them on the roof of my mouth, as well as rubbing several drops on my stomach. Within 15 minutes, I was well enough to drive home and rest, never experiencing the vomiting that has afflicted so many. Thank you so much for such a wonderful product! - Lorie

31. I decided to try Digestion Support for my Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I massage it over my lower abdomen and the arch of my foot nightly. I’ve had great results!

32. Our 14 -year-old son woke me up at about 3 in the morning. He had severe pain on his right side, up high just below his ribs. Thinking it was a gas bubble, I had him try all kinds of positions that might move the bubble and dissipate. Nothing worked. We tried charcoal to no avail. By this time, the pain was going up into his right shoulder and down his arm. I got on the internet, and the only thing that came up was gallbladder stones. How could a 14-year-old who is so healthy and eats healthy have gallbladder problems, I wondered. Finally, I thought to use Digestion Support. What took me so long to think of it, I do not know! First, we tried to put drops on his tummy, but this didn't seem to help. So I put three drops in a capsule and gave it to him. I also had him eat a piece of dry toast because I didn't know how the oil would sit on his stomach. (I've used it on an empty stomach, and it made it more upset). He had been up since 3 am and it was now 7. I gave him the oil, he took it, and within 5 minutes was sound asleep! I was so relieved! I still wonder if it was a gallbladder attack. He had all of the symptoms, but whatever it was, the oil did wonders! So glad I had it here to use! I tell people all of the time that I wouldn't be without my oils! :) Thanks so much for all of your hard work in providing them for us at a reasonable price! You are truly a blessing! - Janet K.

33. I LOVE Digestion Support. It works for most all digestion-related issues. - Loni

34. I am using Digestion Support for diverticulitus. I was diagnosed with this many years ago and have controlled it well with diet, but I had a severe bout with it a couple of weeks ago, which is why I ordered Digestion Support. I put a drop on my belly button when I have any stomach distress, and this has worked really well. - Sharon G.

35. I wanted to share how we have used essential oils on our Yorkie, Cocoa. Last week she seemed lethargic, didn't want to eat and had a little diarrhea, so I thought that perhaps something had upset her tummy. I rubbed some Digestion Support on her belly. Again I could see a visible shift only a short while after applying the oil, and after a second application a few hours later she was almost back to her usual perky self. I think with animals - especially small ones like Cocoa - the oils work more quickly and the effects are really visible. - Candice S.

36. Digestion Support blend has been wonderful at combating nausea associated with chemo for my 2-year-old son. - Amy
[Due to cautions associated with using Anise and Fennel, we suggest for babies and young children under age 5 that one consider using HEO's Tummy Soothe blend instead of Digestion Support.]

37. I LOVE Digestion Support. I don't take $50.00 a month reflux meds anymore due to it. - Susan

38. I just want to share this info about Digestion Support. Within the past year, I started having heartburn. My husband always tries to push Tums on me, and I will not take them. I figure that drinking water and waiting that it will soon pass. Sometimes, it is later and sooner. Sunday night, when the heartburn started, I headed for the bottle of Digestion Support. To my surprise, within a minute, my heartburn was gone. I thought to myself, "There’s no way it worked that fast." Tonight, as heartburn came on again, I put one drop of Digestion Support on the top of my hand and licked it off. Within half of a minute - NO heartburn. Amazing!! Linda, thank you for sharing your company with us and for all the hard work you do for all of us out here. Also, thanks to all your customers who share their stories so we can learn from them. God Bless to all. - Rebecca

39. I have celiac disease and was accidentally "glutened" today. I had just gotten my Digestion Support this week, and after about an hour of being sick, I remembered to try it. Wow!!! I put it in a capsule with a carrier oil, and within 10 minutes, I felt my stomach cramps and spasms calm! I am beyond thrilled with this!! It has been 2 hours since taking the capsule, and I am still tummy-symptom-free. - Beth

40. I didn't think Digestion Support would work on a 'glutened' belly, but it totally did! In about 10-15 minutes, I went from being unable to stand up straight to walking around symptom-free. Amazing stuff! - Melanie

41. Digestion Support is unsurpassed for colic and all other tummy and digestion-related issues. I put just a dab on my clean fingertip and put it into our granddaughter’s mouth. She was a bit surprised by the taste but took to it and stopped crying immediately. This is a great blend. [HEO's comment: We'd had a number of testimonies like this and suggest that if a mother wants to try it, the oil should be appropriately diluted with a suitable oil. Please read testimony #2 on the Colic page, as this has helped many without the "need" for using essential oils on a baby.]?[Due to cautions associated with using Anise and Fennel, we suggest for babies and young children under age 5 that one consider using HEO's Tummy Soothe blend instead of Digestion Support.]

42. Digestion Support has helped my son's potty training. We applied it to his tummy in the evening and within 2 weeks, he was "pooing" in the potty and has ever since. I think the Digestion Support oil helped with the feeling, so he recognized it, and the texture changed dramatically. Thank you, thank you for what you do. - April?[Due to cautions associated with using Anise and Fennel, we suggest for babies and young children under age 5 that one consider using HEO'sTummy Soothe blend instead of Digestion Support.]

43. A couple days ago I posted about my 5 year old. When he gets sick it's usually bad and fast. So, when he came down with a 102.8 fever I acted quickly and aggressively. I applied (all oils I used were diluted) Digestion Support to his tummy every other hour from 2-8 pm when he went to bed. In addition, I alternated Warrior and Top Gun - not knowing if he was fighting bacteria or virus. I also applied a touch of Headache Relief for his pain. Knowing fevers can get serious, I checked his temp every 30 minutes. It steadily went down, and when he was ready for bed, it was 99.7. I diffused Plague Defense heavier than I probably needed to in the boys room as he slept. When I tucked him, in I massaged his back and feet with Peaceful Spray and a touch of Plague Defense. This morning he was his normal self. In the afternoon he complained of an "angry tummy" again, and I started my routine. But, it only took 2 applications before he felt well. Tonight I'll diffuse Plague Defense lightly again just in case. I'm soooooo happy to be able to help my son without medication. Thank you, thank you, thank you for these delightful oils. And THANK YOU for not being a MLM!!! - Heidi

44. Is there anything to be concerned about with the Anise in Digestion Support as far as it being a neuro toxin? I've read some articles about babies who were given Anise in an herbal tea as a colic remedy, which resulted in neuro poisoning. Just wondering if this would be a concern with the essential oil Anise. I'm assuming probably not but was just curious if anyone else knew anything about this. I just want to make sure the Digestion Support is safe to use on my newborn if needed. - Jenna
The article you mentioned is referring to Star Anise and an oral dose. The Anise in Digestion Support is not Star Anise but rather the Pimpinella anisum from Egypt. We don't carry Japanese Star Anise (Illicium anistatum). However, due to numerous other cautions associated with using Anise and Fennel, we suggest for babies and young children under age 5 that one consider using HEO's Tummy Soothe blend instead of Digestion Support.

45. During the first trimester morning sickness, I applied Digestion Support to the back of my ears and put Peppermint on the back of my hand and "sniff" it. This helped every time! If I didn't do this, I vomited every time! - Candice
[Due to cautions associated with using Anise and Fennel, we suggest that pregnant and breastfeeding mamas consider using HEO's Tummy Soothe blend instead of Digestion Support.]

46. Due to a birth defect, I have had acid reflux all of my life. Due to the reflux and aspiration it caused, I now have COPD. I nearly lived on OTC and prescription antacids for almost 50 years. They helped minimally. For the past few years, I've switched to using EO's. I've also learned that a swallow of lemon juice, most times, works immediately. When needed, I also apply Digestion Support. I keep packets of lemon juice in my purse. I am so thankful to God for his natural remedies and WONDERFUL EO's. If we had known about the effectiveness of simple things like lemon juice and vinegar when I was growing up, I may not be dealing with COPD today. As far as the COPD goes, the Respiratory Relief and the Lung Healing have been a wonderful blessing. I have been able to minimize my need for supplemental oxygen. - Patty

47. I like the Digestion Support for indigestion. I also like organic raw apple cider vinegar. I drink juice from sauerkraut too. Sounds strange but it works immediately and I actually like it. I check my pH with test strips and the sauerkraut or vinegar works well to bring me back to alkaline. - Sally

48. We use Digestion Support for acid reflux, and it works very well. Gluten can cause acid reflux. I apply it to wherever it feels like the burning is... sometimes it's my tummy, sometimes it's around the belly button and sometimes when it's really bad, I do both and a drop by mouth. You can put a few drops in a capsule diluted with a carrier oil and swallow it too. - Stacy

49. I rub Digestion Support on my belly before I go out to eat. I don't take Pepcid anymore. - Nora

50. I put the Digestive Support in a capsule (diluted with a carrier oil) for my daughter when she has a reaction to gluten, and it's about the only thing that helps. - Bev

51. I have been putting a drop of Digestion Support in a glass of water to drink for my hiatal hernia, and it seems to calm the pain down. This oral use helps more than applying to my stomach. - Jennifer

52. To help prevent and deal with the stomach virus, we use raw apple cider vinegar in warm water with honey. It changes the pH of the intestinal tract to make it less hospitable to the virus. - Anne

53. My body is trying to get back to normal since having my baby 9 months ago. Part of that is the return of my cycle and all of the grumpiness, headaches and cramping that go along with it (BOOOOO!). It just occurred to me to search the site for help with the pain. Unfortunately, I have very few of the suggested oils on hand, so I tried the Digestion Support. I have a cream I made by mixing coconut oil and Lavender. I dug out some from the jar, added a few drops of the Digestion Support and applied it topically to my abdomen and lower back. WOW! I feel SO MUCH BETTER, and I smell like an Italian wedding cookie, which brings back sweet memories of my Grammy. It's a win/win! - Rachel

54. Digestion Support is a miracle! It is my favorite and works so quickly! - Brenda

55. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Digestion Support! My skeptical husband is now a believer in Essential Oils too after using this blend! - Tara

56. Digestion Support has been a Godsend at our house. My son has had stomach pains off and on for years, and many visits to the doctor, blood work and ultrasounds revealed absolutely nothing. This stuff stops those aches so quickly, and he hasn't had trouble with vomiting or diarrhea either. (It would often lead to one or the other). I've also given some to my friend who is on daily chemotherapy for cancer, and it has proven to be a significant help to her as well. They were just so random, there never seemed to be any connection to anything. Thankfully it doesn't happen very often and less often now. When he does complain about it now, usually he needs to use the restroom. I also noticed that more often than not, when he uses the oil, he's in the bathroom within 5 minutes or so. I don't know if the oil helps him realize what he needs to do, if the oil helps it along, or if it's just coincidence. It also seems to help with car sickness. - Lynn

57. I use the Digestion Support, too, and it works miracles! We put a drop on our hand and lick it off, and we do the same with Plague Defense if we aren't feeling well. Great results :-) - Brandy

58. Digestion Support is amazing. I used to get so  car sick on winding roads that I dreaded going on some, otherwise, fun trips to the coast. I now apply some diluted Digestion Support to my abdomen and lick a drop off the back of my hand about 20 minutes before we hit the windy area, and I can enjoy the scenery rather than stare intently at the divider line while groaning (lol) I'm a much more pleasant travel companion. - Sally

59. We have used this for , a virus where we had stomach “yuck,” nausea, intestinal cramping and diarrhea. It has worked so well that I am ordering a BIG bottle this time! I never want to be without this blend! - Margaret

60. We just ran out of Digestion Support last night, and my husband has had a long stomach virus, w headache and dizziness. You sent our last order so quickly that it should be there this afternoon when we get back!! Thankful!! We love that blend!! When he uses it and I smell it, I find myself breathing it in deeply just because it smells good!! - Maggie

61. Our 2 1/2-year-old daughter has Down Syndrome, and we struggled for the first few months with her constipation. It was your website and info that led me to try the Digestion Support (I put it on her tummy twice a day with castor oil as the carrier), and she has gone twice a day, every day, since then. I am so grateful!! Thank you for all that you and your family do!! - Julia

62. Digestion Support has been an absolute lifesaver for me and my family! It takes away heartburn in a matter of minutes! If I have any stomach aches, over-eating pains or gas pains, I rub it directly onto my stomach. For any nausea, heartburn or indigestion I put a drop on the back of my hand and lick it off. I have never encontered any sort of over the counter medicine that has worked this well. Impressed as always with Heritage! - Nicole

63. Your products are amazing!!! They are front and centre in our medicine cabinet. I LOVE the Digestive Support. It works amazing for me. Any stomach issues and I put a drop on my hand and lick it up, and within minutes my tummy feels better. - Sylvia

64. My mom has great success controlling her diverticulitis with Digestion Support in her belly button several times per day plus at least 1 cup of aloe vera 2x per day, and probiotics daily. - Sunny

65. I have not taken Tums at night since I have been using Digestion Support. - Margie

66. I LOVE Digestion Support and share it with all around me. Last Sunday my friend's 13-year-old son called and said he thought perhaps he had food poisoning - or something - his belly was hurting badly and he was miserable. I sent her home with some Digestive Support and told her to apply it around his belly button and the soles of feet. When I saw her a week later she said it worked wonders, he felt better quickly and he asked her to buy some.  I'm also using it on an elderly dog that became disinterested in eating. I apply to the tips of her ears and her paw pads - she's eating and back to self. - Meghan

67. I just had to let you know that we are praising God for an answer. I had written you about a month ago regarding the intense and constant pain my husband has been suffering for the past 4 years. The Lord showed us the problem - it is quite simply the fact that his appendix is gone and he no longer is producing the probiotics he used to, thus effecting his immune system and digestion. The Digestion Support oil that you suggested is helping him! That, along with probiotics, has almost completely eliminated his pain. He now has an issue with heartburn, but I see that the Peppermint can help with that, as well as Lemon.Thanks so much for your prayers and help. And praise the Lord for giving my husband healing. - Allison

68. We have been battling the flu at our house for the last couple of weeks. My son is home sick today - he was resting on the couch when I heard him begin to sob. He said his tummy was hurting really badly. I grabbed my Digestion Support and gave him a tummy massage with it - within two minutes he had calmed down and said it was working and he was feeling better. We are not out of the woods with the illness, but I am just so thankful for a natural, effective way that I can give some relief to my little ones - can't thank you enough Linda and Heritage. - Ali

69. I got hit with the stomach bug last week. I took a drop of Digestion Support in a bit of water, and it literally stopped the vomiting and diarrhea in its tracks. Amazing!! I also use Digestion Support regularly to help with IBS struggles and pain. Great oil blend! Thanks for all you do!! - Jenn

70. Thank you, thank you!! I have been struggling with stomach issues the last few weeks. Digestion Support has been a life saver. There were no OTC meds that would calm my stomach. One night, I was tossing and turning when I grabbed my Digestion Support and rubbed it on my tummy. A few minutes later I drifted off to sleep! Thank you again!! - Leah

71. Thank you, thank you!! I have been struggling with stomach issues the last few weeks. Digestion Support has been a life saver. There were no OTC meds that would calm my stomach. One night, I was tossing and turning when I grabbed my Digestion Support and rubbed it on my tummy. A few minutes later I drifted off to sleep! Thank you again!! - Leah

72. Last night the thermostat in our Master Bedroom went out so we had no heat during the cold snap. It was 26°, and that is really cold for us. We had an electric blanket so we didn't freeze. My sweet husband bought a new themostat on his way home from work but was feeling sick to his stomach when he arrived. He lay down for about 30 minutes, and then I encouraged him to apply Digestion Support to his belly. Within 10 minutes he was able to get up and install the new thermostat. Yea! We have heat! - Stacy

73. If there was one oil blend that I would never want to be without again, it would be Digestion Support. Over the years both my mother and I have had to routinely take ant-acids for painful stomachaches. When I discovered that Digestion Support rubbed on my abdomen completely takes away all the pain and discomfort in less than a minute or two. I sent some to my mom, and now she experiences the same relief! I can’t tell you what a blessing this is to us. Many times antacid medications wouldn’t help, and I was left with terrible stomach pain for hours. Now I make sure I have some with me at all times! It has also helped completely take away nausea in the middle of the night for all of us when we were fighting a flu virus. Any time I have mild nausea for any reason, it completely takes it away for me. Another daughter with IBS and gastroparesis (slow emptying of the stomach) has found some relief from her pain and nausea as well. Thank you, Lord, for the comfort your oils are continuing to bring us! - Katy

74. Last night I applied a drop of Digestion Support on my navel for morning sickness, and I felt great! This is my third pregnancy, and I usually have all day sickness ALL the time!! I used some this morning as well and did not have any nausea and even ate a good amount of breakfast. I'm SO thankful for this oil blend! How often can I use it safely? - Lena

75. I have suffered for years with stomach issues and ordered the Digestion Support and the Coriander. I put the DS on my stomach topically and take Coriander (diluted) in a capsule if I have a lot of spasm pain, and since I have been doing this, I have kept symptoms at bay ! So far so good !!! Very happy !! - Tanya

76. Digestion Support is AMAZING! My 11-year-old daughter recently had a pretty bad bout with constipation. It took almost a week to get it under control, and during that time she was in severe pain. She would wake in the middle of the night with severe stomach pain. Every time she hurt, we would put Digestion Support on her tummy. I would rub it on, and within a minute or two she had relief. EVERY SINGLE TIME! It is wonderful to be able to help your little one when they are in pain. Thanks Heritage. - Wendee

77. Last Sunday I was suffering from severe heart burn and acid reflux. My friend pulled a little roller bottle out of her purse and gave it to me. I put it on my chest and within 10 minutes it was gone. I have used it the last two nights and eaten as usual, and I have not had the first sign of heartburn!! - Sandy

78. Our 12-year-old son has a problem with getting car sick. He has had it since is was a very tiny thing. We have used Bonine for motion sickness and sea bands, which work pretty well if you remember to put them on about 20 min before you travel. His car sickness is so bad that we can't drive 5 minutes down the road without him getting sick. We recently tried Digestion Support! WOW! This works! We put a little on his naval as we are getting in the car, and bingo bango...he does NOT get sick. He can do anything in the car without any problem, where as before he couldn't. What a blessing for him after 12 yrs. of struggling to be able to ride in the car without getting sick. - Sandi

80. Last night I applied a drop of Digestion Support around my navel for morning sickness. And I felt great! This is my third pregnancy, and I usually have all day sickness ALL the time!! I used some this morning as well and did not have any nausea and even ate a good amount of breakfast. I'm SO thankful for this oil blend!  - Lena

81. We use digestion support a couple times a day for chronic constipation, but dilute it with castor oil. It works great!! - Jennifer

82. My husband and I have been traveling in France for a couple of weeks. I brought quite a few oils. Today we arrived in Paris and were walking when a bee landed on the inside of my arm just below the elbow and stung me. I have not been stung by a bee in a few years, but the last time I was stung on my foot and I could not wear anything but a sandle for 5 weeks! Today my arm immediately began to swell and turn red. My husband was quite concerned at how rapidly the swelling and redness was spreading and asked: "Do you have some essential oils you could put on it?" I told him they were back at our hotel except for Digestion Support and some coconut oil. I slathered my arm with Digestion Support and some coconut oil, and within 30 seconds the stinging and burning had stopped. The swelling and redness subsided in about 15 minutes, and now there is only the tiniest mark where I was stung! I have heard it said "If you don't have what you need use what you have." I love my Digestion Support more than ever now! - Sally

83. Thank You Hopewell Essential Oils!! Nausea and heartburn in the middle of the night…No Fun:( I have not experienced these symptoms in years, so not even thinking about my oils I tried an Alka-Seltzer, which usually did the trick, but this time it barely took the edge off. Then I grabbed my Digestion Support. To be honest, I was hesitant to use it because I thought the smell would make my nausea worse, and initially it did, but after a few minutes the smell became appealing to me and I went back for more, rubbing it on my stomach. Now I sit here in the early morning hours to spread the word…Digestion Support!! Woohoo..much better... - Melanie

84. Digestion Support cured my husband of gastric ulcers! However, he ingested it and I would not suggest that to anyone. It was a personal decision we made after years of failure following prescribed medical treatment. The next step for him was invasive treatment. We felt that taking of oils by mouth, in small amounts, for a limited time was safer than what the medical profession thought he should do. God used the oils to completely heal him! We are so thankful! Another thing he did that helped so much, and that some would feel more comfortable with, was to drink Aloe Vera juice/gel. - Susan

85. Oh my goodness! We got our Digestive Support yesterday and I am amazed. My daughter has horrid chronic nausea, and although she didn't like the smell of it (at first), she used it twice and admitted it helped tremendously! - Carmen

86. It's no secret I love Hopewell Essential Oils--I share info about this wonderful company and how it has helped my husband and I so much with friends, family, and on occasion, strangers! This morning I woke up early with cramping, diarrhea and a little aching. I got up and rubbed Digestion Support with (sesame seed oil as a carrier) on my stomach and abdomen. Later, I took Warrior, Bacteria Top Gun, and Digestion Support internally in a capsule with sesame seed oil. By 4pm I was tons better and the stomach bug that usually keeps people down for several days is already on it's way out for me. Essential Oils truly are miracle oils! - Debbie

87. I used Lugol's 5% Iodine for my ovarian cyst. I started with one drop - each day. Then on Friday changed to 2 drops and the next Friday 3 drops per day. At that point all the nausea left me that I had for 9 years with a slow gut. It cured my Small Intestinal Bacteria Overgrowth (SIBO).
I kept adding another drop until at 16 weeks I was at 16 drops per day and had these benefits:
No more need for diabetic medications
Thinned out my endometrium back to normal after 13 years
No more nausea Breast fibroids gone
No more sinus infections
No more bladder infections

88. We have been using Digestion Support for different issues that you mention it is for on your site, and we're loving it. I won't ever go anywhere without it! About a year ago our finicky little Maltese wouldn't eat one day, as she often won't, and I decided to see if it would help HER as well. I made sure it was well diluted because she is only 10 pounds. She fought me trying to get her to lay on her back to apply it to her stomach area, but she resisted like that only once! Now I ask "Do you want some oil?" and hold up the bottle. She runs to the sofa, lays down and partly rolls over or crouches down at my feet so I can pick her up and lay her back in my arms (which she now easily lets me do), and she lets me put the oil on her. Then she snorts and runs to the carpet and plays around feeling awesome! Oftentimes she will immediately go eat her food, or within 10 minutes usually we find she has eaten! (Ever since we got her 6 years ago, she has oftentimes gone 1-2 days without eating!) - Maggie

89. I placed a little Digestion Support and Ginger oil on my son's wrist with Castor oil for car sickness. That way he could smell it as he rides the bus and then it dissipate by the first hour of school. Yesterday he said that it works and today he asked for it again. - Bobbie

90. I have been a long-term user of prescription stomach medication due to severe reflux leading to esophageal spasms. I've unsuccessfully tried to get off them in the past, but recent articles about kidney damage led me to try again. Research led me to this protocol: One drop of Frankincense on a spoonful of Coconut oil morning and evening along with Digestion Support in a roll-on applicator. I use the Digestion Support prophylactically in the morning on my stomach and esophagus and again if I have a flare up of heartburn. I went off the prescription "cold turkey" two weeks ago, and I am thrilled with the results. No esophageal spasms and only minimal heart burn. EO's have made it possible for me to totally abandon this particular drug. - Martha

91. My husband bought a bottle of Digestion Support, and it has proven to be of great help to him. Using it topically, he has found it to give some instant relief to the intense bloating, accompanied by a lot of pain, from a few bouts of Crohn's or some similar sort of gastroenteritis last year. It didn't really stop the pain, but he could feel very quick release of some of the pressure as soon as I put it on. He has also taken a few drops in capsules a few times and found it powerful stuff! It is staying our cabinet. - Savannah

92. I was experiencing horrific heartburn and put 2 drops of Digestion Support in my water. Drinking this resolved the heartburn immediately. Amazing! - Joan P.

93. I would like to share my testimony for Digestion Support. I had horrific heartburn. I don't usually get heartburn. I took Pepcid with no results. So, did a little research. I read a suggestion of 2 drops of Digestion Support in a glass of water. I did so and my heartburn was gone instantly and did not come back!! Instantly!! - Joan
 
94. I have even found relief from heartburn with topical application. It's some good stuff! - Lori
 
95. I use Digestion Support topically with great results. I apply a couple of swipes in the middle of my chest with 10% dilution and it takes the heartburn away quickly. - Sharon
 
96. I apply Digestion Support topically just under my left ribs with amazing results for acid reflux. - Renae
 
97. Digestion Support is one of my favorites! I’ve tried other brands of Digestion Support-type blends and Hopewell’s is by far my favorite in flavor and effectiveness! - Sarah
 
98. Digestion Support is a powerful tool!! - Amanda
 
99. I wouldn’t be without Digestion Support. 1-2 drops on my tongue works every time for indigestion. - Terri

100. I was experiencing horrific heartburn and put 2 drops of Digestion Support in my water and it was gone immediately. Amazing!! - Joan
 
101. We love Digestion Support at our house. Yesterday our puppy started with some diarrhea and vomiting. I put some Digestion Support on her tummy and this morning she is back to her onery self. I'm so glad to have this available for all the GI upsets. - Ruth
[HEO's Comment: It is generally best to avoid use of essential oils with young puppies since they are still developing their sensitive sense of smell. Of course, if fleas are a problem and the alternative is a toxic chemical, then the owner may choose to use essential oils as their best option. If that is the case, consider using the lowest possible amount of essential oil to acheive efficacy. Typical dilution for a dog is 1-2%.]

102. Digestion Support and Peppermint have prevented so much IBS, SIBO and Leaky Gut pain over the past five years. So thankful! - Peggy

103. I love, love, love, your Digestion Support, It taste so good!!! I am using one drop on honey after my meals with good results. - Joselyn

104. Last night I had so much pain from too much raw garlic and bread - baba ganoush. I put the Digestion Support on and within a few minutes - maybe ten, I started to feel better. It might have taken half an hour or an hour to feel completely better. - Susan

105. I recently purchased Digestion Support for my son who has Down Syndrome. He is nine and only eats things like chicken and ketchup or chips. He used to have regular bowel movements, but a few months ago he became constipated. I tried over-the-counter medicines on him but they didn't work. I looked on your website for help with constipation and read many wonderful testimonies about Digestion Support. There were even a couple on there who used it successfully on their children with T21. I bought some and tried it on my son. It took about 2 hours and he was going to the restroom!!! I was shocked at how well and how fast it worked. I am so thankful that we have Hopewell Oils in our lives. I love all the products I have bought from you and will continue to buy from you in the future. - Lisa

106. I love, love, love this blend. It really helps!! I have IBS and it helps me with belching and bloating. I have better digestion and have not had abdominal pain from duodenal ulcer diagnosed in October. I use Digestion Support daily 2-3 times after meals by diluting 1 drop with 1 tsp honey and flip the spoon upside down spoon on my tongue. Sometimes I put a smidgen on the back of a hand and lick it off and hold tongue to the roof of mouth. I have also applied on wrists after supper and have used blend diluted in a roll-on applicator and apply it around the belly button in a clockwise direction. - Joselyn

107. I have inflamed ileocecal valve issues and an irritable bowel, and I have terrible bowel cramping and diarrhea anytime I'd eat an offending food (especially something spicy). Of course, knowing this, I'd avoid spicy and offending foods as much as possible, but when I occasionally swallow something unaware, I apply Digestion Support over my ileocecal valve, and within 30 minutes all discomfort disappears! It's wonderful for all things realated to digestion, including constipation. I apply it over the lower right side of the abdomen area, or wherever the pain is.

108. Digestion Support is the bomb. I've had 2 weeks of 'issues' - even more tonight. I applied Digestion Support to my abdomen, and all issues are gone. - Kay

109. Digestion Support is my number one used oil. I love it! - Hannah (on a Instagram post)

110. Digestion Support really works! Our family uses it for occasional indigestion and abdominal discomfort. - Diane

111. Digestion Support is much, much, much better than YL's Digize! I love it; it really works. I cannot live without the Hopewell Digestion Support for my IBS, indigestion, belching and much more. - Joselyn (on a Instagram post)

112. I love Digestion Support. I don't know how or why it works, but I get this pain in the same spot about 2 hours after I eat. I apply Digestion Support, and the discomfort is gone. - Dorothea

113. Digestion Support is one of my favorite oils. It's interesting how it works for constipation and diarrhea as well. - Nan

114. When I get an IBS flare, I layer Peppermint on top of Digestion Suppport. I've done this for years and it works every time. I'm very thankful to a company of integrity and honesty. - Peggy

115. l have been taking 1 drop Digestion Support in honey after meals and it continues to help, especially if l eat too much and/or have ice cream :) - Joselyn

Safety
The Complete Guide to Aromatherapy by Salavatore Battaglia on the safety of Fennel: "I have a suspicion that some aromatherapists may be concerned about the fenchone content, which is a ketone. As we know, some ketones are reputed to be neurotoxic. There is no pharmacological evidence to suggest that fenchone or transanethole are neurotoxic in the doses used in aromatherapy." Battaglia references other noted authors: Blumenthal, Lawless, Tisserand.
 
Clinical Aromatherapy by Jane Buckle: "Some essential oils are generally contraindicated for all therapeutic uses." Her list includes Fennel. She continues: "These oils all contain toxic constituents." She lists Fennel as one to avoid if prone to epilepsy and then writes: ". . . although there is no published report of any of these triggering a seizure." (Note that the "toxic constituents" Buckle refers to in Fennel are ketones - see Battaglia's note above.)
