T-Relief Pain Relief Cream, 4 Ounce

This product was recommended to my by a naprapath several years ago and I have used it ever since. I have a tube at home and I carry a tube in my purse...you NEVER know when you're going to get a boo-boo! I use it when I've overdone exercise of any sort and I prefer the ointment over the gel. Mostly I use it when I have banged into something...you know...your knee, or your elbow. About 18 months ago I took a full frontal fall, catching myself with both hands. After a couple of arnica pills and a chiro visit, I applied this cream to my right arm from the wrist to my shoulder. Three days later as I was drying off from the shower I lifted up my right arm and noticed the inside of my upper arm was black and blue, turning yellow from the inside of the elbow to the armpit. I had FAILED to apply the cream to the underside of my upper arm. You know when you apply sunscreen and you can see and feel the sunburned area where you failed to apply it? That's what happened. Just last night I dropped an empty dresser drawer on the top of my bare foot. TRAUMEEL to the rescue...1 application immediately and another just before bed. Result: no bruising or soreness and able to lace up my shoe for a 4 mile walk. This stuff is miraculous...the key is to apply it immediately and often. (BTW...do NOT apply to broken skin...this is to prevent bruises and soreness.) I swear by it and don't go anywhere without it.

1/24/15 UPDATE- BUYER BEWARE! All the reviews shown for this are actually for a product called Traumeel! Traumeel is a German product and was distributed in the US by a company called Heel. I just found out that Heel is exiting the US market. I was very sad to learn this as Traumeel was an unbelievable product ( see my review for Traumeel below). I had it as part of my subscribe and save to get it every month and just received a tube of this T-Relief instead! I can't believe Amazon would be so deceiving! I compared this T-Relief to Traumeel and it is NOT the same formulation! Sending back for a refund!I order stuff all the time off of Amazon, but this is my first time submitting a review. I decided to submit a review because my family thinks this stuff is amazing. In our house, we call this the "miracle cream" and we would not be without it. In fact, I subscribe & save to this product. It works absolutely fantastic for any kind of bruising. When applied right after injury, it will actually PREVENT bruising from occurring. This is why we call it the miracle cream. We have small children, so we use it anytime they have a bump or bruise- the difference when this is applied immediately after injury is just amazing. When our son was 2, he was walking on the sidewalk with his hands in his pockets and tripped and fell. Since his hands were in his pockets he didn't have anything to break the fall, so his forehead hit the sidewalk full on with all his weight. It made a sickening sound and started to swell immediately. We took the Traumeel out of the diaper bag and applied it on the spot...we honestly could not believe the difference it made...he barely bruised and it heeled so quickly! That is when we became true believers of this product. My husband also uses it when he has muscle soreness from tough work-outs. We keep a tube upstairs, downstairs and one the diaper bag, so we always some close by. Just don't use it on broken skin because it will sting!

It really works, but you have to use it regularly to get it to start working and I wished its pain relief effects would last longer, but it is great to have something I can rub in on an achy spot and have the achy spot stop hurting quickly for a while. AMazon's price is great, considering that is the price that my pain management office sold a 1.75 ounce tube! I have had knee replacements and plantar fasciitis in my feet and it calms the pain down when I get twinges in the knees still and pain in my feet. I also get arthritic pain in my shoulders and it helps there too---and at the base of my thumb when I use the computer mouse too much! I have an autoimmune blood disorder so I have to be careful about anti-inflammtory medications that might affect my platelets. I asked my hematologist about Traumeel (showed him the ingredients) and he okayed it for me so I feel safe using it, unlike similar type products that might have asprin-derivatives in it that I can't have.Highly recommend.I bought this first at a pain management MD office and just received my AMazon order. I still love the stuff, but thought I'd add to this review that this is a tube of cream - it is not a ointment, or else it's just me who thinks ointment implies a gel. In any event, it still works the same as the gel I got at the pain management office.
