Educational information on traditional homeopathic use only. Not medical advice.
Apis Homaccord is a Heel combination homeopathic medicine in drop form. This guide sets out what the label says, what the ingredient names mean and how the directions read, so you can compare it with other remedies before you choose.
What is Apis Homaccord?
It is a combination homeopathic medicine made by Heel in Germany from four starting materials: Apis mellifica, Apisinum, Scilla and Kalium stibyltartaricum. The indications on the product page read: oedema; pustular and bullous eczema; cerebral sensitivity. Oedema is the medical word for swelling caused by fluid, and bullous means blistering.
Those are the label words, and we do not add to them.
What it is traditionally used for
Apis Homaccord is known to help the body improve its natural ability to heal, with some ailments, such as:
- Oedema
- Pustular and bullous eczema
- Cerebral sensitivity
These are traditional homeopathic associations, not promises of results. The product page carries the indications beside the directions.
Understanding the ingredient names
- Apis mellifica is a traditional homeopathic name taken from the honey bee. In the finished medicine it is a homeopathic potency, not an animal product.
- Apisinum is a related homeopathic potency with the same origin in the name. Like Apis mellifica, it is a potency, not an animal product.
- Scilla is the traditional homeopathic name for squill, a bulb-forming plant of the Mediterranean.
- Kalium stibyltartaricum is the label name for a traditional homeopathic starting material, listed at four dilutions.
Each ingredient is written with D numbers. D means a one-in-ten dilution step and the number counts how many were made. So D2 is a lower dilution and D1000 is a very high one. Our article on what Homaccord, Compositum and Injeel mean explains the system in more detail.

The label lists a 100 g composition for the drops:
