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.

Heel, a subsidiary of Heel, headquartered in Baden-Baden, Germany, has been manufacturing in Albuquerque since 1979.
