Which would also tend to justify some regulations and/or legal/moral investigations into the source of such spell components...
Another idea is to require the casting wizard to tend to the patient throughout the week of bed rest, which would be an inconvenience to the wizard and require hiring them (and maybe some nurses too) for the week.

I like the latter option if regeneration is a normal spell because almost no spells require material components.
What about requiring both material components and tending? This would make Regeneration more like making a magic item, perhaps taking weeks to cast and several wizards, a little more like when Frodo recovered in Rivendell...
