Safety Information
Children:
 Use with caution on children under 3 years of age due to Peppermint and possible skin irritation issues due to Lemongrass.

Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Maximum dermal use of Regeneration is 5%. (Tisserand/Young suggests the use of Lemongrass to be restricted to 0.7% maximum topically during pregnancy due to citral which could affect fetal development in high topical doses.)

Medication/Health Condition: 
Contraindicated All Routes: Drugs metabolized by CYP2B6, CYP2D6 (if unsure, ask your MD or pharmacist), Cardiac fibrillation, G6PD deficiency
Contraindicated Orally: Diabetes medication, Cholestasis
Caution Orally: Drugs metabolized by CYP1A2, CYP2C9 or CYP3A4  (if unsure, ask your MD or pharmacist), GERD
 
Use caution topically with hypersensitive, diseased or damaged skin (due to Lemongrass). To avoid skin sensitization risk, do not use old and oxidized oils. Maximum topical limit is 5% due to Basil.
 
"Since chamazulene (in Blue Tansy) inhibits CYP1A2, CYP3A4 and CYP2D6, there is a theoretical risk of interaction between blue tansy oil and drugs metabolized by these enzymes" (Tisserand/Young page 439).

Regarding Carpal Tunnel
Surgery vs Physical Therapy by Health Sciences Institute
After just four weeks, the patients who had the physical therapy were doing significantly better than the surgery group. Actually, it took the surgery patients another two months to just catch up to them! And the therapy patients, despite the fact that close to 40 percent were suffering from “severe” CTS, had the same amount of pain reduction as the women who got the operation.

Application Suggestions (See Essential Oil Usage for more information and a Dilution Chart.)
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. (May stain clothing.) Maximum dermal use of Regeneration is 5%.

Children: Use with caution on children under 3 years of age due to Peppermint and possible skin irritation issues due to Lemongrass. For children over 3, please follow the Dilution Chart on the Babies and Children page.

Inhalation: Diffuse or use a personal Nasal Inhaler. While suitable to diffuse, this blend is formulated for topical use.

Internal: Regeneration is suitable for internal use within safe parameters if such use is deemed appropriate, but we formulated the blend for topical use. 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 aromatherapy" or "British" methods, it's a matter of experience and appropriate application.

1. Pain-X takes away the arthritic pain in my hands almost immediately, but using Regeneration has almost completely healed my hands from having the pain to start with!  - A.R.

2. Because of your Regeneration and also the Strength formulas, my right shoulder has regained motion that I lost several years ago. I have scoliosis and will continue to have some difficulty with the shoulder, however, I now have hope that I may be able to live more normally and not be crippled and in perpetual pain. :) - C.G.

3. Completely out of the blue, I woke up with an extremely sore back. I am in good shape and had done nothing to precipitate it. I felt like it was most likely a bone/vertebrae issue, so I ordered both Pain-X and Regeneration. I applied Pain-X on the night of the 5th day of pain and felt 60% relief the next morning. I applied Pain-X for 2 more nights, and the days were improving, though the pain was still with me in the night when I turned over. Then the pain turned into feeling like someone had kicked my back; it felt bruised. I applied the Regeneration at bedtime and in the morning, and on the 2nd day the pain was hardly noticeable, plus it wasn't with me in the night anymore. The 13th day, since I started having the pain (the 8th day of treatment), was when I really noticed that I wasn't thinking about the pain. I think the combination of the 2 remedies was crucial for me. -G.M.

4. My sister let me try your Regeneration essential oil on my foot because I have joint pain in my big toe from running. After one application, my joint pain was almost non-existent! I am eager to have some of my own, and l sincerely look forward to trying your other products. - W.B.

5. My chiropractor was pleased with the increased range of motion in my neck. He said to keep on doing what I was doing. I ordered some more Regeneration. God has used it to improve my neck and the pain has greatly decreased. - L.S

6. My mother mixes PainX and Regeneration for her neck pain and she said that it works really well for her. Also, my aunt has Fibromyalgia and uses the same combination. - Stacy

7. I have shared the Regeneration plus Emu formula with several people here,because it has helped me so much with a frozen shoulder that, although 90% healed, still hurt. Thank God for the relief! He provides us with what we need, I think especially when we are trying to do His will and care about others. - Virginia

8. We just used some of a 2ml sample of the Regeneration that I ordered last time and we LOVE it!! My husband had a great deal of back pain, and we began with Strength (which is our FAVORITE essential oil blend ever!!) and then added a couple of drops of Pain-X about 5 minutes later. The pain still wasn't gone, and I remembered the Regeneration sample . . . so I added 2 drops to his lower back (about 15 minutes after the initial Strength), and now his pain is completely gone! We are so impressed with your oils and blends!! I have recommended you to at least 10 of our friends. Thank you for your desire for excellence! - Christy S.

9. I have hip bursitis due to my work in the construction business and repetitive injury. My health care practitioner recommended I use Strength alternating with Regeneration, and I am doing much better.

10. My mom was once “rescued” from disabling carpal tunnel syndrome by an old home remedy of drinking apple cider vinegar on a daily basis. She tried it as a last resort (had not thought of using essential oils), and the result was nothing short of miraculous. I would not have believed it had I not seen it with my own eyes.

11. I had lower back pain for well over 12 years, and had a herniated disc, but I wanted to get weaned off of anti-inflammatory meds, the Pain Repair and Regeneration were spectacular for me amazingly! I also used DMSO Gel, all from Hopewell Essential Oils. I did have to keep reapplying for it to keep working, but it certainly did work praise God! - Sheri O.

12. Regeneration has helped my plantar fasciitis pain in my heels. - Jessica

13. This worked for my plantar fasciitis. - Mary Lou

14. I have had chronic upper back pain for many years now since damaging it playing rugby many years ago. Every winter I had typically been in pain as the area tightened up considerably, and I would have to use different temporary treatments e.g. Biofreeze etc. I started using Regeneration a few years ago and have noticed a considerable difference in the pain in my back. Last year I noticed much less pain during the winter, and even less this year (despite the very cold temperatures). In the past, I would typically be rubbing Biofreeze on my back throughout the day (via a roll-on), and yet the pain would be alleviated only for a few hours and then return. Now I simply rub a little Regeneration (no dilution) on each night, and it has made a world of difference! I give glory to God and truly thank Him for blessing us in discovering the Regeneration blend and making my back feel SO much better. I thank Him for you and your wonderful company! - Ladi

15. My carpal tunnel is flaring again. I used Regeneration for the past few days and didn't notice much difference--but at least it's not worse. A week later the carpal tunnel is MUCH better. I'm not sure if it's the Regeneration, the pressure points, or the vitamin D. I have tried to be consistent with all three. It's not 100% gone, but I no longer need or want the splints, and this is while continuing to do heavy work in my yard. I'm going to continue Regeneration for another week, but I'm very happy with the direction this seems to be heading! - Anne

16. I had suffered from foot plantar fascitis and leg pain for years. Ice and stretching really helped. Regeneration has been nearly miraculous in relieving the remainder of my foot and leg pain. - Pam

17. My mother purchased Regeneration for me, and after a week of use, I can now feel my big toe again. - Jenny

18. I was experiencing a sore shoulder and suspect it is from an old injury. I went to my chiropractor, who said I should probably go for physical therapy. My deductible is very high, so I thought, why not just try Regeneration? I put his oil on once in the morning and once in the evening for about three weeks, and I am pretty much pain-free. This was a lot less expensive than therapy! - Dawn

19. FYI, I love your oils. Regeneration is my favourite one at the moment. It has done wonders for a few people I have given it to. As a matter of fact, I tend to keep a roller bottle of diluted Regeneration in my purse just to give away. I keep having to make more so that I have some for me, too! - Marilyn

20. I had a large enough ganglion cyst on my right hand to warrant surgery and even saw a surgeon. Then I decided to try Regeneration on it again, a slow but steady improvement, and today my wrist looks and feels nearly normal. It has been great for various joint flare-ups as well. - Cathy

21. I mixed 10-12 drops of each of Regeneration and Strength blends with almond oil in a roller bottle and used it for pain anywhere needed (usually requires two applications about 30 minutes apart), and almost without fail, my pain is gone. My 86-year-old mother has hip/thigh/knee pain that makes walking difficult. I applied this to all of those areas, and her pain was gone! She uses it daily now. I gave it to a co-worker for her knee and shoulder pain, and within an hour, she was pain-free. We use it for arthritic and muscle pain, plantar fasciitis - you name it, it works. We love this stuff and I share it with everyone I know who has pain issues. - Kelley 

22. I have a spine with stenosis and many other things. The only results I have gotten have been from a chiropractor and acupuncture. I always had a 30% aching factor that was helped some by PainX. Praise the Lord! I just started using Regeneration and it is AMAZING!! Thank you, Hopewell, sooooooooo much. - Gary

23. Regeneration has been helpful for my husband's shoulder and knee as well as for his current chip fracture in his ankle. I put it on under the brace/cast at least once a day and he has been quite surprised at how low the pain levels are! I have found it to relieve tension a little in my neck and shoulders as well, which was not what I was expecting. I've used it on an SI joint of mine that likes to slip, and I think it has helped with that. - Savannah

24. I use Regeneration for 'everything'! It's great for joint issues, but it also worked on a mysterious skin issue where my skin was dry, flaky and had brown spots that reoccurred. I tried what the doctor prescribed, but it didn't resolve it. I decided to try some Regeneration on it, and it vanished completely and hasn't come back! This is great stuff that I share with my friends and family. - Edith

25. I have had much satisfaction using the Regeneration. I have had problems with my right hip, causing me terrible pain (possibly piriformis muscle). It would hurt terribly, especially when getting up after sitting. I don't know what made me think to start using the Regeneration, Strength and a Pain Salve that I have (that by itself WASN'T working), but I started applying the Regeneration and Strength at the top of my thigh, lateral aspect, where the pelvis joins the thigh. I applied every few hours. Normally, when I got up in the morning, I was in tremendous pain and it hurt to walk. I got up the next morning after the second or third day of using this combination, and I could hardly believe it. It didn't hurt to walk at all! I noticed that if I didn't use it for a while (i.e., not applying it consistently), my thigh/hip would start hurting again. So I would apply again. Today, I have no pain at all in that thigh/hip, and I haven't applied since yesterday morning! This is practically miraculous to me because just a few days ago, I was thinking I was going to have to go see an orthopedic physician (I am a nurse) and probably get an injection of a steroid to relieve the pain. I am pain-free right now with no heavy-duty drugs, no manipulation of any kind by a chiropractor or anything else except Regeneration, Strength and Pain Be Gone Salve (which I primarily used because of the oils that are in it as a carrier, including DMSO). My thoughts were that the DMSO would help "carry" the Regeneration and the other things that are in the pain Salve INTO the joint! I think that's exactly what happened. I am a believer and will always have these two oil blends available! - Leslie

26. We LOVE both StrengthPainX and Regeneration!! We love to rub in/on Strength and then Pain-X, followed by Regeneration. We call it the Triple Threat! It helps dramatically at night after a hot shower and before turning in for sleep. It's a combo that we've used for neck/sciatic/back pain for years. I'm sure that it helps with healing the areas so that we don't have constant/chronic pain.

Strength is a family favorite. We use it for so much. Our children experience growing cramps often, so we rub them down before bed several nights a week. It really helps them sleep better after a long day swimming or playing outside/hiking. 
 
Pain-X is fantastic. I recently broke a toe and I used DeepEase and Pain-X almost exclusively for the pain. 
 
Regeneration is a favorite. I first bought a very small bottle, but after we discovered its magnified properties when used with the Strength and Pain-X, it is now a staple in our home.  - Christy
 
27. I have been having issues again with my ankles swelling and I've been using a pain salve that has DMSO in it with Regeneration. I'm using the pain salve with the DMSO with the rationale to get the Regeneration down into my tissues, and it is really helpful and brings down the swelling and the inflammation. Regeneration has Cypress in it (and other great oils!). - Leslie

28. My husband uses Regeneration and PainX on his arthritic thumbs with pleasing results! - Heather

29. I use Regeneration for sciatica, and it has helped tremendously. It usually keeps me pain-free until I quit using it for a while. I dilute it in a roll-on applicator and rub it on my lower spine. - Teresa

30. Regeneration healed my plantar fasciitis and the Pain Arrest took away the intense pain I had at the end of each day. - Melissa

31. I credit Regeneration with keeping my spondylolisthesis in check, not to mention the aroma is wonderful. - Janet

32. My chiropractor was pleased with the increased range of motion in my neck. He said to keep on doing what I was doing, so I ordered some more Regeneration. God has used it to improve my neck and the pain has greatly decreased. - Lucinda

33. I have had steroid shots on the base of both thumbs to get relief from arthritis and sharp pain since 2013. In December, I started using PainX and Regeneration at 6% in a 10mL roll-on applicator (9 drops each topped off with Hemp oil). I apply it 3-4 times daily. The pain is under control and I have not had a shot since July of last year!!! - Joselyn

34. I am ingesting 1 drop each of Regeneration and Arctic Ice with 1 tsp honey placed on a spoon. I flip the spoon upside down and let the mix flow down my throat. I have noticed that pain, in general, has decreased. I also use 15 drops of Arctic Ice in a roll-on applicator topped off with Hemp oil and apply it on my left foot, where I have 4 tendon transplants, and for bursitis on my hips. This helps with the pain.  -Joselyn

35. I mixed a roller bottle of Regeneration for my husband for a knee injury. He was determined to avoid surgery and he did. His knee has been painful for quite some time and after using Regeneration regularly, he has no more problems with it. - Kathy
 
36. Regeneration works wonders for relieving neuropathy pain. - Linda W.

37. I use both Regeneration and Neuropathy Spray for my neuropathy with success. I think they both help equally and alternate using them. - Betty

38. My mom has had tremendous results using your oils for her crushed ankle. I mixed Regeneration, Arctic Ice and Helichrysium Substitute Blend together in coconut oil. Before using this blend, she was very limited on standing and then walking the next day due to pain. She has been using the blend for 2 years or more and her pain has been greatly reduced! She is able to go about her normal life now without limping! She will not do anything before applying these every morning. It has been such a blessing for her! I tell so many, and so does she. God has given us so many things on this earth for healing. We have just lost so much through trusting modern medicine and not listening to those who have gone before us. - Maria

39. My husband has been in athletics, a gym owner and a trainer for many years. He was involved in multiple motorcycle accidents through the years, which caused considerable wear and tear on his body. Regeneration has greatly improved the mobility in his hip and other areas of his body to help him continue functioning normally. - Christina

40. I have been helped by the oils I ordered for pain in my lower back and sciatica! I’ve been alternating them, so hopefully I won’t get used to them. I especially love Regeneration when I add it to either Arctic Ice, Fire and Ice, PainX (still not my favorite after all the wonderful reviews!), Nerve Pain and Sciatica blends!  Just thought I’d let you know!  Thanks again for all your great research and info!! - Maggie

41. I crushed my finger in our storm door last week. The ligaments, tendons and muscles all along my finger were damaged. I kept it splinted, but the tenderness on the sides of my finger was awful. I eventually remembered to apply Regeneration to my finger, and the pain and tenderness disappeared almost immediately. I have applied it once a day for the last 5 days and the difference is noticeable. I go today for a follow-up to make sure it doesn't have a stress fracture, but I'm so happy it doesn't hurt constantly anymore! LOVE my oils! - Stacy

42. I have had steroid shots at the base of both thumbs to get relief from arthritis (sharp pain) since 2013. In December 2018, I started using Pain-X and Regeneration at 3% in a 10mL roll-on applicator (9 drops each) topped off with Hemp oil. I apply it 3-4 times daily and the pain is under control. I have not had a steroid shot since July 2018!!! - Joselyn

43. My husband has begun having pain in both thumbs, even waking up in the morning still hurting and not relieved through resting them during sleep. He doesn't tend to complain until things get bad. I made a blend of 2 drops of Strength, 3 drops of Pain Repair, 3 drops of Regeneration, 3 drops of Emu oil and 1 drop of Peppermint. I used this blend at 25% in a roll-on applicator and sent it with him. A few days later, he brought the empty bottle into the house and wanted more. That was a big compliment coming from him, as he’s been an essential oil skeptic until now. - Rhonda

44. My mom (78) had carpal tunnel surgery several years ago. Things were fine for a few years but then the pain returned. I gave her a roller bottle of Regeneration and she is so happy with it. Regeneration greatly reduced the pain and has made it possible for her to continue to enjoy life and keep her busy (hard-working) life. She rides a horse, and prior to the Regeneration blend, she thought she would have to give up riding because of the pain when holding the reins. Regeneration has made it possible for her to continue riding her horse, do chores around their small farm and enjoy life in general.  Thank you, Linda!!!! - Kim

45. I really love your Regeneration oil! I put it into a roller bottle with fractionated coconut oil to put around my ears and on the back of my neck. It helps to get rid of the ringing in my ears when my tinnitus flares up. I started having tinnitus as a result of the toxins in my system, first from mold exposure in my home (we had to move). Then, after going through mold removal treatments with my holistic doctor, we realized that the vertigo that I have is probably more due to exposure to heavy metals from when I lived in China for ten years. I’ve had dizziness and vertigo since for almost a year, so my doctor and I are trying to deal with all of that. - Lori
Safety
Children: Use with caution on children under 2 years of age due to possible skin irritation issues.

Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Tisserand suggests the use of Lemongrass to be restricted to 0.7% maximum topically during pregnancy due to citral which could affect fetal development in high topical doses. Tisserand suggests the use of Lemongrass to be restricted to 0.7% maximum topically during pregnancy due to citral which could affect fetal development in high topical doses. "Citral impairs reproductive performance in female rats by reducing the number of ovarian follicles (Toaff et al 1979). The effect, however, was seen only after a series of six monthly ip injections at a dose of 300 mg/kg. This is equivalent to injecting ~ 25mL of lemongrass oil into a woman's abdomen. Based on other research, we have restricted citral exposure in pregnancy" (Tisserand, page 149).
 
Lemongrass Dermal Caution: May cause skin irritation for some because it contains Citral, which is a strong sensitizer. Avoid use on broken skin. Robert Tisserand reported at a Clinical Safety Aromatherapy conference (2013) that there is a possibility that Citral (in Lemongrass) may affect tooth and bone development in the fetus.* Maximum dermal use of Regeneration is 5%. Use caution with infants and children.
 
Lemongrass and Antidepressants: There are some aromatherapists who feel that oils high in citral should be avoided with antidepressants (specifically Bupropion) that inhibit CYP2B6 enzyme. Tisserand states that this risk is considered "theoretical" based on the research.
 
Diabetes medication: Use with caution orally due to Lemongrass.
 
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. Flushing with water may send the essential oil back to the eye's membranes. 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. We’ve not known this to cause permanent injury or long-term discomfort, but please call your health care provider if you feel concerned.
