Educational information on traditional homeopathic use only. Not medical advice.
Mulimen is a Heel combination homeopathic medicine traditionally associated with menstrual, premenstrual and hormonally associated complaints. This guide sets out the two formats, what the ingredient names mean and what the product page says about how it is taken.
What is Mulimen?
It is a multi-ingredient homeopathic formulation made by Heel from nine starting materials. It comes in two formats that share the same core ingredients: Mulimen S oral drops (50 ml) and Mulimen tablets (100 tablets).
The product page notes that the German liquid registration (Mulimen S) explicitly lists menstrual complaints and mood disturbances among its applications. The tablet formulation is registered as a homeopathic medicinal product without a specified therapeutic indication. That difference is worth knowing when you choose a format.
What it is traditionally used for
Mulimen is known to help the body improve its natural ability to heal, with some ailments, such as:
- Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and menstrual complaints
- Cramp-like menstrual discomfort and lower abdominal discomfort
- Mood fluctuations, emotional disturbances and low mood around menstruation
- Irritability, nervousness and heightened emotional sensitivity
- Menstrual headaches and nervous symptoms
- Fatigue, weakness and exhaustion around the menstrual cycle
- Hormonal sweating and night sweating
- Fluid retention associated with the menstrual cycle
These are traditional homeopathic associations, not promises of results. The product page carries the indications beside the directions.
Understanding the ingredient names
- Cimicifuga racemosa is traditionally associated with menstrual and hormonally related complaints, particularly emotional disturbances accompanying PMS.
- Gelsemium sempervirens is associated with headaches, nervous symptoms, weakness and exhaustion.
- Hypericum perforatum is traditionally used for emotional and mood disturbances.
- Calcium carbonicum Hahnemanni is highlighted by Heel in relation to hormonally influenced sweating.
- Kalium carbonicum is associated with weakness, exhaustion and tissue fluid retention.
- Ambra grisea is traditionally associated with nervous overexcitability, exhaustion and low mood. It is a homeopathic potency, not an animal product.
- Sepia officinalis and Vitex agnus-castus broaden the formulation's traditional homeopathic focus on menstrual, hormonal, nervous and constitutional symptoms.
- Urtica urens is the ninth ingredient, listed on the label at D3.
Each ingredient is written with a D number. D means a one-in-ten dilution step and the number counts how many were made. Our article on what Homaccord, Compositum and Injeel mean explains the system in more detail.
Reading the composition
For the drops, the Heel reference formulation lists 100 g as containing nine ingredients at 11.11 g each: Ambra grisea D4, Hypericum perforatum D3, Vitex agnus-castus D3, Cimicifuga racemosa D4, Gelsemium sempervirens D4, Kalium carbonicum D4, Calcium carbonicum Hahnemanni D8, Sepia officinalis D8 and Urtica urens D3.
For the tablets, each tablet contains the same nine ingredients at 33.33 mg each. The tablets contain lactose.
Pack sizes
The product page has two options:
- A 50 ml bottle of Mulimen S drops
- A box of 100 tablets
How it is traditionally used
These directions are taken from the product page. The leaflet inside your own box is the authoritative source.
- Drops (Mulimen S): a commonly published Heel dosage is 10 drops 3 times daily. In acute situations, 10 drops may be taken every 15 minutes for up to 2 hours (maximum 12 doses daily in that product market). The drops may be taken undiluted or with a little water, held briefly in the mouth before swallowing.
- Tablets: for adults and adolescents aged 12 years and over, for chronic complaints, 1 tablet 1 to 3 times daily; for acute complaints, Heel states 1 tablet every 30 minutes for up to 2 hours.
A short checklist before you choose
- Decide between drops and tablets, and remember that the tablets contain lactose.
- Remember that the two formats are registered differently, as described above.
- Keep the leaflet from the box, since it is the authoritative source for directions.
- Make a note of what you take, so that you can share it if you ask your practitioner for advice.
Who should take care
If you are pregnant, giving a remedy to a child, or taking a prescribed medicine, please speak to your doctor or practitioner before use.
