According to most of the studies I looked at... no. But people swear by it. I'll use it if you like it. Traumeel is made with homeopathic arnicaTraumeel is used to soothe muscle aches, reduce inflammation, and heal wounds. Commonly used for injuries such as sprains and bruises. Works by speeding up the healing process. Way back when I first began as a massage therapist in the late 90s, a ballet dancer and a kickboxer (who was also a massage therapist) highly recommended arnica for injuries. For me, their recommendations were gold because both used their bodies intensely and used Traumeel regularly. They weren't the only ones I've heard praise the benefits of Traumeel. It was soon apparent to me, anecdotally, that Traumeel, a homeopathic use of arnica, was the arnica ointment of choice and the most effective. Arnica |

Arnica montana.Arnica is used for strains, sprains and bruises. It belongs to the sunflower family and is native to North America and Eurasia. It has been used medicinally for centuries.
"Arnica montana is more effective than placebo when used for the treatment of several conditions including post-traumatic and postoperative pain, edema, and ecchymosis. However, its dosages and preparations used have produced substantial differences in the clinical outcome. Cumulative evidence suggests that Arnica montana may represent a valid alternative to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, at least when treating some specific conditions."

Information on Arnica montanais hard to find in one source and, therefore, is the subject of this chapter. The author discusses the components of Arnica montana and therapeutic uses such as anti-inflammatory, blood coagulation, arthritis, postpartum bleeding, traumatic injuries, and cosmetic procedures."
