The packaging says that it provides fast relief from muscle pain and inflammation.  With hundreds of pain relieving creams in the market today, we tried it this product is effective.  I and my boyfriend who are both very active try it once when we both over-exerted ourselves during our first yoga class. 

The cream isn't as greasy as the others.  I applied it on my shoulders because that was the area that was very painful.  I hate those creams that stains on your light-colored pants or shirt.  This ointment doesn't do that.  When you apply it, it dries very quickly. I put on my blouse and went to work. 

The ointment doesn't have a strong odor.  We have tried a number of brands and even if they are effective in relieving body pain, we couldn't apply them in the morning because they have very strong odor.  When I applied Traumeel in the morning, the smell dissipated in the few minutes and I'm off to work.

Does it really give fast relief?  Yes, it is surprisingly effective and what I liked most about it is that it gives long-time relief.  I was able to work without feeling any pain on my shoulder until lunch time.  That was the time that I applied the cream again.  I applied the cream before I slept and the next day, the pain was not there anymore and I didn't need to apply the pain relieving gel anymore.
