June Product of the Month

By Tory Wegner, LAc

Everyone is gearing up for summer fun…everything from camping, boating, hiking to biking and rock climbing! With all the adventurous activities, people are more prone to getting minor sprains, bruises, and muscle aches. Most people just deal with them or maybe take an over the counter medicine like Alleve or Ibuprofen. If you want to avoid the NSAID's (non-steroidal anti-inflammatories) but speed up healing time, I’d like to introduce you to a natural alternative that everyone needs to have in their medicine cabinet!

'Heel' is a company that makes homeopathic remedies for modern times. They have an excellent product called 'Traumeel' that is a natural anti-inflammatory medicine. Because it is homeopathic, it is safe, fast acting and completely natural. It's main functions are to relieve muscle aches, pain, and bruising and decrease inflammation. It helps speed up healing after an accident, injury or surgical procedure, and it can be used for acute trauma, repetitive use injuries or chronic conditions like arthritis. It comes in two forms, a tablet (which dissolves under your tongue) or an ointment (to be used topically).

I have two great examples of how traumeel can be used. My husband plays hockey and he’s always coming home with a bruise (or two!) or an ache and he takes the traumeel tablet and applies the ointment topically to the bruise and he heals up in no time. I also treat a 12 year old girl and she plays in her school’s soccer league and is playing all the time. She got a bad ankle sprain and I had her start the oral and topical traumeel right away. She was totally healed and back in the game in a little over a week, this was fast healing from a sprain!

So to help everyone enjoy their summer but minimize the aches, sprains, and bruises, for the month of June Traumeel products at the clinics are 10% off!
