Traumeel Drops are the liquid form of the best-known Heel injury and inflammation formula. People often ask about them because they want something flexible: drops can be taken in a little water, adjusted more easily than a tablet, and swallowed by people who do not like tablets. This guide looks at what the product page says about Traumeel S Drops, including the details people often miss, such as the alcohol content, and how drops compare with the other Traumeel forms.

What are Traumeel Drops?
Traumeel S Drops (also sold as Traumeel S Tropfen) are an oral homeopathic combination from Heel, made in Germany. Our product page notes that this is the original Traumeel formulation and that it is not "T-Relief", which is a different product. We list them in bottles of 30 ml and 100 ml, with bulk options for practices.
What is in them?
The page lists 14 ingredients. Per 100 g the drops contain:
- Arnica montana D2, Calendula officinalis D2, Hamamelis virginiana D2 and Achillea millefolium D3, 5 g each
- Atropa belladonna D4, 25 g
- Aconitum napellus D3, Mercurius solubilis Hahnemanni D8 and Hepar sulfuris D8, 10 g each
- Chamomilla recutita D3 and Symphytum officinale D8, 8 g each
- Bellis perennis D2, Echinacea angustifolia D2 and Echinacea purpurea D2, 2 g each
- Hypericum perforatum D2, 1 g
The drops contain 35 vol.-% alcohol, which matters for some people (see below).
What are they traditionally used for?
The indications on the page are the manufacturer's traditional wording: injuries such as sprains, dislocations, bruises, effusions of blood and effusions into a joint; swelling after operations or injury; inflammatory and degenerative processes, particularly of the supporting and moving parts of the body (including tendon sheaths, bursae and shoulder), and wear of the hip, knee and small joints. In everyday terms, this is a product traditionally reached for after knocks, twists and overuse, and for stiff, achy joints. It is not a treatment for any of them, and it is not a substitute for medical assessment of an injury.
How they are taken
The product page directs you to take the drops orally, exactly as directed on the packaging or by your healthcare practitioner. We do not set out a number of drops on the page, so we will not make one up here. Check the label on the bottle you receive, and your practitioner can tailor it. Many people take drops in a little water, which is the usual way to take liquid homeopathic preparations; again, follow your label.
Why choose drops over tablets?
- Flexibility: the page describes the liquid as allowing flexible dosing.
- Ease: useful if you or a family member struggles to let a tablet dissolve.
- Value in bigger bottles: the 100 ml bottle suits regular use.
The page also mentions an observational study in which results with tablets and drops were similar, so the choice between them is largely about convenience. See the full comparison in Traumeel Gel vs Tablets vs Drops.
Who should check first
- Anyone avoiding alcohol (for medical, religious or personal reasons, or recovering from alcohol dependence). The drops are 35% alcohol by volume.
- Anyone with hypersensitivity to plants of the daisy (Compositae) family, such as arnica, calendula and chamomile.
- Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding, and parents of young children. See Is Traumeel Safe in Pregnancy and for Kids?
- Anyone about to drive or operate machinery after taking alcohol-based drops. Allow for the alcohol, particularly with larger doses.
- Anyone with liver disease.
Seek medical help for a suspected fracture, severe swelling, numbness, or a head injury. The page lists concussion among its traditional indications, but a head injury needs a medical check, not just a remedy.
Combining the forms
The product page notes that drops can be combined with Traumeel Gel and the ointment for local application. If you prefer a rubbed-in product, see our guide to Traumeel cream vs gel.
