Heel was originally founded in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1979 by Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg, MD, as Biological Homeopathic Industries (BHI). Dr. Reckeweg, who also founded Heel in Baden-Baden, Germany in 1936, relocated to the United States to continue his scientific investigations and introduce U.S. practitioners to Homotoxicology and the Heel products involved in its application. Today, Heel is one of the largest homeopathic pharmaceutical manufacturers in the world, with distribution in over 60 countries. "Heel" stands for Herba est ex luce, which translates to: "plants come from the light".
Heel is located in the Sandia Science and Technology Park, at 10421 Research Rd, Albuquerque, N.M., 87123. Our new facility is nearly 50,000 square feet and contains state of the art manufacturing processes to ensure the highest quality products for health care practitioners, pharmacists and health food stores. Today Heel is the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of Heel products to health care practitioners throughout the U.S. Heel also manufactures and markets its BHI product line to health food retailers as well as health care practitioners in the U.S., and exports to many foreign markets as well as offers contract manufacturing to domestic companies.
Heel medications are easy to use and gently activate the body's self-healing powers - as intended by nature and requested by health care professionals and patients around the world.
Heel combination homeopathic formulas are based on over 70 years of scientific research and laboratory testing. Instead of relying on only one active ingredient, Heel formulas are combinations of key biotherapeutic ingredients that work together to provide multi-symptom relief from many common ailments. The remedies of Heel contain highly specialized ingredients including botanical and mineral elements, as well as catalysts that target and stimulate cellular function and respiration while strengthening the immune response. To ensure quality, safety and effectiveness, all ingredients used in Heel formulas are carefully selected, tested, and manufactured in compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) which are standards that are governed by the FDA. The quality, consistency and effectiveness of their formulas are found in the recommendation of their products by physicians worldwide. Heel offers a variety of products from which to choose in order to best fit the needs of your family. There are dozens of Heel products available without prescription that have long been supported by healthcare providers worldwide. Heel offers safe and effective combination homeopathic medicines that treat a wide array of conditions safely, effectively, and with only rare instances of side effects or interactions with other medications.
