Pharmacological properties

The effectiveness of Traumeel S is due to its multicomponent composition.
During the manufacturing process, the starting material is subjected to multi-stage dilution and shaking, so that the solvent is filled with the energy of the natural material and transfers it to the patient’s body. Each component element affects a specific system of the body, sending it an impulse and causing a response signal. Thanks to the activation of the cellular immune signal by the homeopathic remedy, additional protective mechanisms are activated, and the body begins to heal on its own.

According to the instructions, Traumeel S causes the following effects:

Anti-inflammatory – normalizes the ratio of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines secreted by cells of the immune system at the site of inflammation, stimulates the release of anti-inflammatory mediators. Relieving pain, redness of the skin of the injured area, swelling of tissues in the affected area, local increase in temperature, impaired functionality, does not affect the synthesis of prostaglandins.
Analgesic – weakens pain sensitivity, suppresses or eliminates the feeling of pain.
Anti-exudative – prevents the release of exudate from small vessels and entry into the area of inflammation, complicating the course of the disease and increasing pain.
Reparative – accelerates healing, restoration of damaged or lost parts of the mucous membrane and soft tissues.
Antihemorrhagic - increases blood clotting, tone of the walls of lymphatic and circulatory vessels, reduces their permeability, stops bleeding of various origins, and prevents the occurrence of hematomas.

Appointment tips from patients and doctors

Traumeel S is an alternative medicine. The World Health Organization warns against using such drugs as alternative treatments for infections and other serious diseases. Homeopathic doctors claim that the drug, when properly prescribed, is effective and safe. And the principle of homeopathy “like cures like”, based on the invocation of a medicinal disease that displaces an existing similar disease, explains the possible increase in the severity of symptoms and the deterioration of the patient’s condition at the first stage of treatment.

Later, when the body joins the fight, the symptoms subside and the disease is cured. If the exacerbation is severe, then treatment should be suspended, notifying the doctor about the body’s reaction. Homeopaths also give patients the following advice:

do not use spices during treatment;
avoid contact with substances that have a strong odor - mint, camphor;
for greater efficiency, combine the use of different forms of Traumeel S - external and internal use;
if acute pain or symptoms of inflammation persist after 3 days of use, consult a doctor for additional treatment.

Patients are advised not to count on an immediate therapeutic effect, but are recommended to complete the course of therapy to the end, because
Often the symptoms fade away gradually, and the results last a long time. But the main thing is to find a competent homeopath who will determine whether Traumeel S is effective for a specific disease, which will help you not to be disappointed in the future and not throw money away.

Method of use

The homeopathic injection Traumeel S should be administered into the patient’s body parenterally, i.e. inside using the methods indicated above. Why injections are recommended to be administered in this particular way:

Drugs in tablet form, after entering the gastrointestinal tract, lose almost a third of their beneficial properties. There may also be a lack of absorption of tablets due to the presence of acid with enzymes;
After the injections are administered, the homeopathic remedy begins to act in a matter of seconds due to the absence of destruction by gastric juices;
The administration of the drug Traumeel is carried out regardless of what and when the patient ate. This is much more effective and faster, especially if a person suffers from pain.

You cannot carry out treatment on your own without the supervision of a doctor.
Drug treatment lasts for a month. The dosage has the right to change the one who prescribed it. An increase may lead to side effects. If acute inflammation is being treated in minors, Traumeel can be administered orally. In this case, the ampoule should be diluted in water so that it can be dropped into the mouth an hour before eating.

The ampoule containing a liquid colorless substance is opened using the colored dots marked on the neck.
