Singer Billy Joel’s daughter, Alexa Ray Joel, lit up the blogosphere today after reportedly swallowing eight pills of Traumeel, “distraught over the ending of a recent relationship,” according to Us Magazine.
Traumeel, marketed as anti-inflammatory medication, contains a mix of herbs and other ingredients in low doses, and can come as a pill or an ointment.
The 23-year-old, who allegedly called 911 in a panic, needn’t have worried — there’s no overwhelming proof that the homeopathic alternative to ibuprofen does much of anything.
