Trauma

Comprehensive Botanical Support for Recovery, Circulation, Bruising, Swelling, and Tissue Comfort Following Physical Injury

Trauma is a six-botanical formula developed to support the body’s natural recovery processes following minor physical injury, impact, overexertion, bruising, strains, sprains, or other ordinary musculoskeletal stress.

Physical injury can affect muscles, connective tissues, joints, blood vessels, circulation, mobility, and the body’s inflammatory response. Recovery depends upon the nature and severity of the injury, healthy blood flow, appropriate rest, adequate nourishment, hydration, protection from further injury, and timely professional care when needed.

Trauma combines Dang Gui, Frankincense, Myrrh, White Peony, Dragon’s Blood, and Safflower—botanicals traditionally used to support healthy circulation, tissue comfort, normal inflammatory responses, and recovery from both recent and lingering physical strain.

A Multi-System Approach

Recovery Following Physical Injury

When tissue is injured, the body initiates a coordinated response involving blood clotting, inflammatory signaling, immune activity, removal of damaged cellular material, tissue rebuilding, and remodeling.

These processes are necessary for recovery, but excessive or prolonged swelling, restricted circulation, repeated strain, and inadequate rest may interfere with comfort and mobility.

Trauma provides complementary botanical support for the body’s normal recovery processes. It is intended for minor injuries and ordinary physical stress—not as a substitute for emergency care, diagnostic imaging, wound treatment, immobilization, surgery, or rehabilitation when those services are required.

Circulation and Bruising Support

Bruising occurs when small blood vessels beneath the skin are damaged and blood enters the surrounding tissues. Color and tenderness may change gradually as the body processes and clears the escaped blood.

Dang Gui and Safflower have long histories of traditional use in formulas designed to promote healthy circulation and the movement of blood through affected tissues.

Frankincense, Myrrh, White Peony, and Dragon’s Blood provide complementary support for tissue comfort, antioxidant defenses, and healthy recovery.

Unexplained, extensive, recurrent, or unusually severe bruising requires professional evaluation and should not automatically be attributed to ordinary physical activity.

Swelling and Inflammatory Response

Inflammation is part of the body’s natural response to injury. It helps isolate damaged tissue, recruit immune activity, and initiate repair.

A healthy inflammatory response should be appropriately activated and regulated as recovery progresses.

Frankincense and Myrrh are resinous botanicals traditionally used to support joint and tissue comfort and a balanced inflammatory response. White Peony and Dang Gui provide complementary support for muscular comfort, circulation, and recovery.

Significant, rapidly increasing, hot, red, or unexplained swelling may indicate a more serious injury, infection, blood clot, or another condition requiring prompt evaluation.

Muscles, Joints, and Connective Tissues

Muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, cartilage, and joints work together to stabilize the body and produce movement.

Physical impact, sudden movement, repetitive strain, overexertion, or improper lifting may affect one or more of these structures.

Trauma supports muscular, joint, and connective-tissue comfort while complementing appropriate rest, ice or heat when suitable, compression, elevation, mobility work, physical therapy, and other professionally recommended recovery practices.

Recent and Lingering Physical Strain

Some discomfort begins immediately following an injury, while other symptoms emerge gradually or remain after the initial event.

Traditional botanical systems have used circulation-supporting and aromatic resin botanicals in formulas intended for both recent injuries and lingering discomfort associated with previous physical strain.

Persistent pain should not automatically be assumed to result from an old injury. Symptoms that continue, worsen, return repeatedly, or interfere with normal function require qualified evaluation.

More Than a Formula

At Holistic Farmacy, we believe responsible recovery requires more than taking an herbal formula.

Trauma is intended to complement appropriate practices that protect injured tissue, support recovery, and help restore comfortable function, including:

• Stopping the activity that caused or worsens the injury

• Protecting the affected area from additional strain

• Resting appropriately during the early stages of recovery

• Using ice, heat, compression, or elevation when suitable for the specific injury

• Maintaining sufficient hydration

• Consuming adequate calories and complete protein

• Eating nutrient-dense foods that support tissue repair

• Obtaining sufficient vitamin C, minerals, essential fatty acids, and other nutrients

• Getting consistent, restorative sleep

• Returning to physical activity gradually

• Performing appropriate mobility and strengthening exercises

• Following professional rehabilitation guidance when indicated

• Avoiding premature return to strenuous activity

• Avoiding tobacco, vaping, recreational drugs, and excessive alcohol

• Reviewing medications or supplements that may affect bleeding or recovery

• Seeking evaluation when an injury is severe or not improving

• Following the HF Regimen

Results are greatest when Holistic Farmacy products are used in combination with following the HF Regimen, including its complementary approach to nourishment, cleansing, tonification, hydration, movement, meditation, rest, and healthy lifestyle practices.

You do not have to purchase a formula to benefit from Holistic Farmacy’s health education. You are welcome to contact us with questions concerning physical recovery, nourishment, botanical support, the HF Regimen, or responsible use of our formulas.

Our first objective is to help you make informed decisions and meaningful progress toward better health—whether or not you choose to make a purchase.

Suggested Use

Adults take 4 capsules with water, two to three times daily, according to the directions provided on the current product label.

Take with food if use on an empty stomach causes digestive discomfort.

Do not exceed the recommended amount.

Because several ingredients may influence circulation and blood clotting, do not combine Trauma with anticoagulant, antiplatelet, or other bleeding-affecting medication without professional guidance.

Trauma should not be used to delay examination or treatment of a potentially serious injury.

Circulation and Bleeding Precautions

Dang Gui, Safflower, Myrrh, Frankincense, and other ingredients in this formula may influence circulation, platelet activity, or blood clotting.

Discontinue use before a surgical or dental procedure according to the guidance of the healthcare practitioner performing the procedure.

Seek professional guidance if bruising increases, bleeding becomes difficult to stop, menstrual bleeding becomes unusually heavy, or blood appears in urine, vomit, or stool.

Dang Gui and Safflower

Dang Gui and Safflower are traditionally used to promote circulation. They are not appropriate during pregnancy and may increase bleeding risk when combined with anticoagulant, antiplatelet, or other bleeding-affecting medication.

Dang Gui may also cause digestive discomfort, headache, or increased sensitivity to sunlight in some individuals.

Frankincense and Myrrh

Frankincense and Myrrh may cause digestive irritation, nausea, diarrhea, headache, skin reactions, or other individual sensitivities.

Myrrh should not be used during pregnancy. Individuals taking diabetes medication, anticoagulants, or medication requiring stable blood concentrations should obtain professional guidance before use.

White Peony

White Peony may influence blood clotting, muscular activity, and medication response.

Use caution with anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication, bleeding disorders, or an upcoming procedure.

Dragon’s Blood

Dragon’s Blood refers to botanical resins obtained from several plant sources. Individuals with allergies or those taking prescription medication should use it only after reviewing the formula with an appropriately licensed healthcare practitioner.

Discontinue Use and Seek Guidance If You Experience

• Increased or unexplained bruising

• Prolonged or unusual bleeding

• Blood in urine, vomit, or stool

• Black, tarry stool

• Unusually heavy menstrual bleeding

• Severe or persistent abdominal discomfort

• Persistent nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea

• Severe headache

• Marked dizziness, weakness, or fainting

• Rapid or irregular heartbeat

• Significant changes in blood pressure

• Rash, itching, facial swelling, or difficulty breathing

• Increasing pain or swelling at the injury site

• Numbness, tingling, weakness, or loss of function

• Another severe, persistent, or concerning reaction

Seek immediate medical assistance for severe bleeding, difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness, chest pain, signs of stroke, facial or throat swelling, or another medical emergency.

When to Seek Professional Care

Trauma is intended to support recovery from minor physical injuries and ordinary musculoskeletal strain. It is not appropriate as the sole response to serious trauma.

Seek immediate medical assistance following an injury involving:

• Loss of consciousness

• Confusion, memory loss, unusual drowsiness, or repeated vomiting

• A possible head, neck, or spinal injury

• Severe chest or abdominal pain

• Difficulty breathing

• Uncontrolled bleeding

• A deep, contaminated, or widely separated wound

• An obvious deformity

• Bone protruding through the skin

• A limb that appears pale, blue, cold, numb, or without a pulse

• Inability to move or bear weight

• Sudden weakness, paralysis, or loss of sensation

• Severe burns

• An animal or human bite

• A high-speed collision, significant fall, crushing injury, or penetrating injury

Seek prompt professional evaluation for:

• A suspected fracture, dislocation, tendon rupture, or serious sprain

• Significant swelling or bruising

• Pain that is severe, worsening, or not improving

• Reduced range of motion or loss of normal function

• Swelling accompanied by redness, warmth, drainage, or fever

• Persistent numbness, tingling, or weakness

• A wound that may require cleaning, closure, or tetanus protection

• Recurrent pain associated with a previous injury

• Unexplained bruising without a known injury

• Symptoms that interfere with sleep, work, walking, or ordinary activity

Internal injuries may not always be immediately visible. New dizziness, fainting, increasing abdominal swelling, severe weakness, shortness of breath, confusion, or worsening pain after trauma requires urgent evaluation.

What You Can Expect

Individual experiences vary according to the type, location, severity, and age of the injury; the structures involved; circulation; nourishment; medication use; physical activity; serving amount; and whether the affected tissue is adequately rested and protected.

During Initial Use

Some individuals may notice gradual support for:

• Tissue comfort

• Comfortable movement

• Normal circulation around recovering tissues

• Relief from occasional stiffness

• Recovery from minor bruising

• A balanced response to ordinary physical strain

The formula is not intended to produce numbness or conceal pain that signals continuing injury.

Increased bleeding, rapidly worsening swelling, severe pain, loss of function, or neurological symptoms should not be interpreted as evidence that the formula is working.

With Consistent, Appropriate Use

When used responsibly and combined with appropriate rest, protection, nourishment, hydration, and gradual rehabilitation, Trauma is intended to support:

• The body’s natural recovery processes

• Healthy circulation

• Tissue comfort

• A balanced inflammatory response

• Recovery from minor bruising and swelling

• Comfortable joint and muscular function

• Restoration of ordinary mobility

The formula does not guarantee relief within a specific period. Recovery time depends upon the nature and severity of the injury and whether medical treatment or rehabilitation is required.

Long-Term Recovery

Long-term recovery depends upon allowing sufficient healing time, avoiding repeated injury, restoring mobility gradually, rebuilding strength, consuming adequate nutrients, getting sufficient sleep, and obtaining appropriate professional care.

Trauma should complement these foundations—not be used continuously to suppress pain, conceal an unresolved injury, or permit premature return to strenuous activity.

Important Information

Trauma is formulated to support healthy circulation, tissue comfort, balanced inflammatory responses, and the body’s natural recovery processes following minor physical injury, bruising, swelling, or musculoskeletal strain.

It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent fractures, dislocations, internal bleeding, traumatic brain injury, spinal injury, infection, blood clots, tendon rupture, compartment syndrome, or another medical condition.

Individual responses vary. Botanical support should complement—not replace—appropriate first aid, diagnostic imaging, wound care, immobilization, physical therapy, prescribed treatment, professional evaluation, or emergency assistance.
