EFFECTIVE TREATMENT
HOW Heel TRAUMEEL WORKS
Heel Traumeel is a multitarget, multicomponent medication that supports inflammation resolution and shortens the inflammation resolution interval. It alleviates the inflammation symptoms without blocking the process, helping to accelerate healing and provides sustained recovery from injury.1,2,4-11
Heel Traumeel's mode of action is different from other medications, suggesting the prevention of typical side effects while showing the same effectiveness for symptom relief.1-3
As a result, it helps you regain your normal mobility and activity faster.
HEALING PROCESS
THERE IS NO HEALING WITHOUT INFLAMMATION
In the past, inflammation had negative connotations and anti-inflammatory medicines were thought beneficial, with no doubt.
Scientists now recognize that inflammation is a direct result of the body’s natural healing mechanisms – there can be no healing without inflammation. It has an important role in how our immune system keeps the body safe and healthy. Inflammation initiates the healing processes to repair the damaged tissue.
Suppressing this natural healing process with NSAIDs may block the beneficial effects of inflammation and may have a negative impact on immune response.
Heel Traumeel helps to resolve inflammation by shortening the resolution interval and supporting healing.1,2,3,4
SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
Traumeel is well tolerated and is a safer choice than non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs potential side effects limit the use in patients taking several medicines together (drug interactions), with impaired liver function, impaired kidney function, gastrointestinal or heart diseases. Traumeel has no known drug interactions, and is contraindicated in the case of allergy (hypersensitivity) to one or more of the ingredients. Its use in patients with immune system dysfunction should be evaluated by a physician.
HOW IS TRAUMEEL IN COMPARISON TO OTHER MEDICATIONS?
In contrast to anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs) or painkillers the multi-component medicine Traumeel® helps resolve inflammation and supports healing processes. It’s is not a pain-killer, therefore the pain reduction may be slower than with other medicines, but Traumeel allows for proper healing.
WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS?
Traumeel consists of 14 plant extracts and minerals. The active ingredients are:
- Achillea millefolium
- Aconitum napellus
- Arnica montana
- Atropa bella-donna
- Bellis perennis
- Calendula officinalis
- Echinacea
- Echinacea purpurea
- Hamamelis virginiana
- Hepar sulfuris
- Hypericum perforatum
- Matricaria recutita
- Mercurius solubilis Hahnemanni
- Symphytum officinale
IS TRAUMEEL A HOMEOPATHIC PREPARATION?
Traumeel is registered and manufactured under homeopathic conditions, but contains ponderable quantities of active ingredients which have demonstrated efficacy, so patients will be receiving a clinically-effective dose.
A number of studies evaluating Traumeel in different indications has demonstrated its effectiveness compared with placebo, NSAIDs and conventional therapy.
WHERE IS TRAUMEEL MANUFACTURED?
Traumeel is produced in Germany by Heel GmbH. Heel manufactures all its products according to the highest international pharmaceutical standards. Our laboratories and production facilities use the latest technology and manufacturing methods, are certified by globally recognized institutions such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and adhere to validated standards such as Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).
WHAT MAKES TRAUMEEL DIFFERENT?
Recent studies show that anti-inflammatory medications may delay the natural healing process or even cause side effects because they suppress inflammation, which is actually a vital component of tissue recovery. These medications mainly focus on quick pain relief and not on the healing process in its entirety. Traumeel® is multitarget, multicomponent medication that supports inflammation resolution, helps to accelerate the healing process, and provides sustained recovery from injury.
