Application Suggestions (See Essential Oil Usage for more information and a Dilution Chart.)
Topical: Dilute with a carrier oil, unscented 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.

Since Ouch! does not have a limiting dilution parameter, we suggest that adults follow the General Guidelines found on the Dilution Chart, which is:

2-3% for daily application

Up to 25% for short-term use

Children: For infants and children, please follow the Dilution Chart on the Babies and Children page.

Inhalation: Diffuse or use a personal Nasal Inhaler

Internal: Ouch! is suitable for internal use within safe parameters, if such use is deemed appropriate. 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 the internal use of essential oils without appropriate knowledge and understanding of how to administer them, for what purpose, how much, which essential oils, safety concerns and so on. In our experience, essential oils are generally more effective when 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.
Contraindicated Orally: Antidepressants/CYP2B6 substrates, Diabetes medication

1. Ouch! is now our go-to oil for our 5-year-old daughter's severe growing pains. We used to use PainX or Resolve, and Ouch! works every bit as well, yet is a gentler formulation. So we now prefer it for her. After 5 to 10 minutes, she starts to settle down and then can drift back to sleep. I've also tested it on my sciatica, and it worked excellently. But since Ouch! is a more costly blend, we reserve it for our daughter. Linda, thanks so much for formulating it! - Brenda

2. Epsom salt baths help with growing pains because it’s a good sign that there is a magnesium deficiency. When our son complains of growing pains, we up the magnesium to prevent it from continuing/happening again, but in the meantime, we use Ouch! diluted with infused Arnica Oil after the baths. - Anne

3. Ouch! diluted with fractionated Coconut oil in a roller bottle is what we use for growing pains - it works great! I always do a mental check of electrolytes, too, to be sure they are getting enough magnesium, potassium, calcium and sodium. - Margaret

4. My daughter suffers from growing pains. I massage diluted Ouch! on her leg. The pain usually subsides or disappears within 3 to 5 minutes. She has gone from doubled over in pain to telling me she feels like running in minutes! I also make sure she has been getting enough calcium, magnesium and potassium in her diet. (Low magnesium and Vitamin D deficiency, as well as other nutrients, have been linked to severe growing pains.) - Margaret

5. I used to use diluted Freedom for growing pains before I knew it was not recommended for kids. Now we use Ouch! blend. I have it in a roller bottle, ready to go. If we have a long day with lots of walking, I'll have my daughter bathe with Epsom salt for the magnesium and apply the essential oil before bed. If she wakes up at night in pain, I apply Ouch! and massage her legs. - Alexandra

6. I usually have a very bad reaction to bee stings, and when I was stung recently, I used homeopathy and other things, but the one thing that helped the most was Ouch! It worked great and will be my first go-to next time. - Jan

7. Ouch! has helped my husband with chronic aching along the back of his left leg that has persisted for the past 7 years, with no apparent medical cause. Because of that success, when I ran out of Ouch! and had to order more, I checked out some other blends for him and he is doing even better with Tension Rub (with Arnica oil as the carrier). He now uses both of them at the same time. - Sara

Safety
Medication: Contraindicated Orally: Antidepressants/CYP2B6 substrates, Diabetes

Avoid contact with the eyes and other sensitive areas. Essential oils are both lipophilic and hydrophobic. Lipophilic means they are attracted to fat— like the membranes of your eyes and skin. They are also hydrophobic, meaning they do not like water. Applying a carrier oil will create another fat for the essential oil to be attracted to other than the membranes of the eyes or skin. Tisserand suggests: "With essential oils, fatty oil has been suggested as an appropriate first aid treatment, though the advantage of saline [eyewash] is that the eyes can be continually flushed, which is less easy with fatty oil.” We are unaware of a case where essential oil in the eyes caused permanent injury or long-term discomfort, but if you feel concerned, please call your healthcare provider.
