Cypress

1. My 7-year-old son has always wet the bed. I started rubbing Cypress on his belly before bedtime, and after 1 week of doing that the bed wetting stopped. We've enjoyed using the oils for different things. - C.M.

2. We have seen great success with by rubbing Cypress oil over the bladder area at night for our son who is a chronic bedwetter! I chose the Cypress because I had come across a few testimonies that it had worked for other children. Thought we might as well give it a try, and sure enough, it does work!!!

3. I tried Cypress on my 7-year-old son who was still wetting the bed, 6 days later he stopped! Praise the Lord. Thank you :) - Daniel J.

4. I read where a woman had a concussion with headaches and hallucinations. By applying Cypress over her brain stem, her headaches left for good. 

5. My son has resisted using the oils for his chronic nosebleeds, though I got Cypress with him in mind. He just came to me with a nosebleed. I got the bottle of Cypress and rubbed some on his nose. He asked how long it would take to work. Before I could answer him, he said, "This is insane. My nose isn't bleeding!" It literally took less than 30 seconds to work. He gets nosebleeds frequently, and I assure you that they don't stop that suddenly, nor that soon after they start (his nosebleed had just started when he came to me.) I continue to be amazed by essential oils. And I am very grateful that you provide affordable ones. I would only have been able to purchase two or three oils from certain other companies for the price I paid for 11 of yours, yet yours are clearly of excellent quality. I absolutely would not have been able to discovered the power of essential oils without your company. Thank you! - Heather

6. I thought this was a great EO story to share: I work with a non-profit organization in Haiti and we have two orphanages. This story came from a small team that worked at the orphanage all last week. "A previous team identified a need for the twelve (12) Thomazeau orphans. All of the kids were wetting their beds overnight causing the staff to wash their sheets and clothes every morning. As you know, there are no washers & dryers at Thomazeau, so the Haitian staff was doing this by hand and hanging them out to dry. This was a monumental task each day, not to mention that the mattresses were ruined. The previous team purchased new mattresses and ordered new plastic covers from the States for our team to bring in. Upon our arrival, our team helped remove the old mattresses and installed new ones with plastic covers the first day we were there. Two women on our team also gave the Haitian staff some "Cypress Oil" to rub on the kid’s stomachs to help. The next morning, only one (1) child had wet the bed and the results have been similar ever since. What a huge relief for the Haitian staff! Praise God!" - Sandy

7. I bought Cypress specifically for potty training and it helped my 2 (now 3) yr old greatly!! He hasn't gone in his bed in a long time, but when we thought he was good, then he'd go in his bed, the next few nights I'd put it on him and he would last a long time. Now he really never goes in bed... I love that my friends told me about essential oils! They've changed our lives!! - Shae

8. We have used Cypress oil, and so far it has been the most beneficial. My son is a heavy sleeper and goes hard during the day, so, if he gets overly tired, he may still wet the bed. I've heard that calming them a while before bed with a bath and then limiting anything too stimulating on the brain, such as TV, Internet, etc. is helpful. We now do this in addition to Cypress oil with good results. -Valerie

9. My boys wet the bed and after one chiropractic adjustment for one of them, never wet the bed again. Sometimes it takes repeated adjustments but we have seen excellent results. Also, Cypress essential oil works well if rubbed over the bladder every night before bed. You can also firmly massage arms and legs throughout the day and I have heard that helps something register things in the brain better and aids in knowing when they need to go at night. - Rachel

10. One of my sons was allergic to wheat. No wheat = no bed wetting. Cypress oil did help if we knew he had had some. - Kelly

11. After reading the testimonials, my husband and I decided to try rubbing Cypress oil on our bellies (bladder area) to see if that helped us get through the night without waking up to go to the bathroom. It worked like a charm for both of us! We each rub 1-2 drops of oil on the bladder area right before bed, and now we can both go all night without having to "go." We are also both getting such better rest because of it! I can't remember the last time either of us slept through the night before using Cypress! - Michelle

12. Our 10-year-old son was of cured bedwetting using Cypress. It took a couple of weeks, but he is now dry every night! - Sandi

13. Having read the testimonies concerning Cypress and bed wetting, I wondered if Cypress would help me with sudden bladder urges. I am pleased to say that it has been of great benefit!. I diluted Cypress in a roll-on, and I applied it upon getting up and going to bed. It has almost completely taken care of those sudden urges. I now apply it less frequently, and it is still helping. - Iris

14. I gave some Cypress to a friend whose 10-year-old daughter was still wetting the bed. She rubbed it on her abdomen and she never wet the bed again. - Barbara

15. I have a very small bladder and frequent bathroom stops have been part of my life since childhood. I am using Cypress oil over my bladder and can sleep all night. This is nothing short of a miracle! - Merri

16. Cypress oil cured my daughter with bed wetting and it also helps me tremendously with cramps from my endometriosis! Love it! - Jessica R.

17. I do not know exactly what my knee issue is, but it has been going on for over a year. Had chiropractic care and an orthopedic doctor shot it with cortisone. Not much help from either. But I have found the biggest relief with Cypress. I went on a 64 mile hike with a Hopewell oil user. I brought Peppermint for myself, she brought Cypress. The first day my knee was already so bad I thought I was never going to finish the week. But she gave me Cypress and I felt IMMEDIATE relief! It got better and better through the week, and since being home it is even better! Cypress now is my most favorite thing ever! - Krysten

18. An equal combination of Cypress (for circulaiton) and Copaiba (for discomfort) diluted with fractionated Coconut oil works everytime for Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS), not only for me, but for anyone I make this up for. I usually make this up in a spray bottle diulted at 10-25% for short-term ease of use. - Carrie

19. One of my children had bedwetting issues and the only thing that finally resolved it, after trying the neurodevelopmenal suggestions, was Cypress essential oil from Hopewell Essential Oils. The child rubbed it just below navel everynight, and in about 2 weeks it resolved. - Caroline

20. Yesterday I had a sudden, horrible nosebleed. I put a drop of Cypress on a tissue and put it into my nostril. It instantly stopped.  Of course, I wondered if this was coincidental, but today I had another nosebleed, so I did the same thing.  Again, the bleeding instantly stopped. - Brandee 

21. I have COPD and my biggest challenge is infections. I have pleurisy, pneumonia regularly, but not constantly. It also comes on suddenly and leaves me with pain to deal with until I can get to a doctor. The last time I started hurting at 3pm. By 5pm it was quite worse. At 6pm I made a blend of Warrior, Thyme vulgaris ct linalool and Cypress diluted to 25% and started applying every hour where my lung was hurting. By 10pm, it was the first time I could tell it was any better and I could turn over some in the recliner. After the 12 midnight application, I slept until 3am, and then I woke up hurting, so I reapplied and slept until 6am. When I awoke at 6am, I was still hurting quite a bit, so I reapplied my blend at 6 and again at 7am. AFTER THAT, I went several hours feeling much better and applied a scheduled dose at noon, not based on pain. I ran errands, delivered a meal and met friends for dinner and was still not hurting. It was 8-9pm before I got back home and applied another scheduled dose (again, not based on pain). I think I could have completely healed by just applying the oils. (I saw my MD the next day just for convenience and my lack of knowledge on length of treatment.) It was the first time I had this good of results from using oils. I included extra details just to show how long it took to get results in case anyone wants to try. To say I was delighted is an understatement, since so many times it starts without warning!! - Rhonda

22. I was diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis by my dermatologist and instructed to use a topical steroid cream or shampoo as needed. She told me I'd have this condition forever and offered no hope for a cure. I decided to take a natural approach. I purchased Hopewell's Shampoo Bar soap and put about 4 drops of Cypress essential oil into my soapy palm to wash my hair, which is about 3x weekly. My scalp and hair feels soooooo good now and my hair looks better than ever. Every now and then my symptoms come back, but they disappear when I re-wash my hair. - Brenda

23. I’m a 65-year-old retired female. About 2 years ago I developed an awful issue with bedwetting during the night. Nothing had physically changed to cause this issue as far as diet or anything else - it just came out of nowhere. I had remembered my mom having her bladder “tacked” when she was younger so I checked with my OB-GYN about that to see if I needed that, and she found everything to be in order with no issues to correct. So, my primary doctor and I began the process of trying various medications to take care of this incontinence issue. I had no issues during the day, only at night as I slept. Nothing ever woke me up as to the need for a bathroom break, so I’d sleep through the whole thing. When the meds didn’t work, the doctor sent me for some therapy for several weekly visits, which seemed to help some, but never completely. Once I had to stop the treatments (cost and insurance wouldn’t cover), the problem continued to get worse. This is graphic, but I found myself having to wear the adult Depends nightly and I would still wake up in the morning to a flooded bed. Sometimes I’d wake up during the middle of the night also to a flooded bed, have to strip it down and end up using 2 Depends before getting through just one night. It wasn’t that extreme every single night but at least 1-2 nights a week and I’d never know which nights would be the worst. Nothing I was doing or not doing was triggering this, as I tracked what I was and was not doing before bed and up to 4 hours before bed to be sure I wasn’t causing this. I ended up having to not only wear the adult Depends, but also sleeping on a bed pad each night and then eventually even having to put a plastic fitted sheet under my cotton fitted sheet and then a bed pad on top of my regular sheet as I didn’t want to ruin my mattress. It literally got so bad that I wouldn’t go off to stay somewhere else (like a hotel or someone else’s home) because I truly did not know what to expect or when to expect it to happen, and what damage and embarrassment it would cause. I begin to read on your website the testimonials of others with incontinence problems, fully convinced no one was having it to the degree that I was. But, not having anything to lose, I chose to try some Cypress essential oil to see if it would help, at least some!  I began to apply Cypress with a carrier oil on my lower abdomen every night before bed and every morning when I got up.  Much to my delight, I have not flooded the bed since using this. I have left my bed set up the same way (bed pads, etc) and I continue to wear the adult Depends just in case, and there are some nights that I do have some leakage, but I have yet to even get the top bed pad wet. There have been nights now that nothing happens during the night, some nights when I actually awaken now with the need to go to the bathroom, but some nights when I do still have to change a Depend. To say this is like night and day, is an understatement. I tried to drop the morning application of Cypress but, for some reason, it affected what happened at night, so I have since continued to daily apply this in the morning and in the evening. It is under control enough that I believe I would be able to go off now and spend the night elsewhere without too much concern. I’m just hoping that I will eventually be able to do away with the adult Depends altogether. We shall see. This is more than I would normally share, and it can be quite embarrassing, but it helps me so much when I read other’s testimonials when trying to decide what might help me with issues I am having, so I wanted to share my own journey, which I pray will continue to improve over time with the help of these oils. God bless you, Linda, for the time you put into this ministry and this business so we can find healthy solutions to the various issues we may have.  - Anonymous
