Traumeel® Gel is an all-natural homeopathic product applied for temporary relief of muscular pain, joint pain, sports injuries and bruises. The ingredient considered most important is Arnica which is a natural anti inflammatory and works wonders for arthritis and bursitis and tendonitis (elbow, Achilles etc).

It works for back pain, knee pain, shoulder, hip  as well as foot and ankle pain.  Those with either osteo arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis swear by it.

People have even told us they use it for strains, sprains, sunburn, burns, generalized pain even eczema or hives as a topical.

Traumeel gel is considered better than the ointment

It’s not a new product but an old locker room staple, over 50 years old. And most athletes will tell you the gel is simply better than the ointment. Everyone from surgeons to acupuncturists, foot doctors to chiropractors recommend this product. It is one of the few that seems to get endorsement from both eastern and western medicine.

Oftentimes, doctors who give traumeel injections for joint pain and Achilles pain will use the gel to help break the pain cycle.

Dr. Micca, one of our contributors here states, “It works well for retrocalcanael bursitis* and Achilles tendinitis where cortisone is contraindicated. I usually get between 1 to 3 days relief--it's great for taking the edge off and breaking the pain cycle. I'll usually have my athletes combine it with Traumeel gel topically for added benefit. (Patients claim the gel works better than the cream).”

*Retrocalcanael bursitis is swelling  and inflammation of the fluid-filled sac (bursa) at the back of the heel bone (calcaneus).

How to apply Traumeel

It may seem expensive but a little of this goes a long way. Just put a dime sized squirt of this colorless and odorless gel in the palm of your hand and rub on the affected body part. Traumeel may be applied using mild compression bandaging and/or occlusive bandaging. For some, it takes about 15-20 minutes while others get almost instant pain relief. It doesn’t smell bad, burn the skin or leave your skin feeling oily after use.

Who uses Traumeel?

Football and rugby players, seniors and dancers, yoga teachers and bikers, volleyball players, runners soccer players and in short, just about anyone who plays a sport or suffers from arthritis or bursitis.
