When your nerves strike

It may be hard to believe, but it’s true: Around 15 to 22 million people in Europe are estimated to suffer from polyneuropathy. This manifests itself in varying degrees of pain, numbness and tingling, and is a burden for those affected – especially when the body actually wants to rest.

The causes are diverse and not yet fully understood. Factors such as injuries, inflammation, or underlying illnesses can play a role. Polyneuropathy is typically categorized into central and peripheral types, both of which cause impaired nerve function, resulting in constant pain signals being sent to the brain.

The consequences are often devastating: chronic pain, sleep disturbances, and reduced mobility often lead...

Polyneuropathy triggered by chemotherapy (by Oxali***).

"My night pain disappeared immediately and since then I have been using it every morning and evening. I now even feel a general relief in my feet, legs and hands."

Matthias S., 66 from Wetzlar Kalter Bruder® Fan since 09/2023

Polyneuropathy worsens after chemotherapy.

Gisela M., 79 from Winnenden Kalter Bruder® Fan since 10/2023

Polyneuropathy from the hip to the foot.

Gebhard v. D. from Verl Kalter Bruder® Fan since 09/2023

Barely any sensation in the lower leg after chemotherapy.

Sandra & Ruud S. from Baar (Switzerland) Kalter Bruder® Fans since 11/2022

Nightly nerve pain.

"I have been taking the painkiller Tra*** for 20 years, but my body gets used to it. With Kalter Bruder®, I can reduce the discomfort as needed and have the strength to work on my garden again."

Hans W., 90 from Lower Saxony Kalter Bruder® Fan since 06/2023

Burning feet – tried so many things.

"The neurologist prescribed me patches and tablets where the dosage and side effects kept increasing. Of all the cooling ointments, Kalter Bruder® is by far the strongest and worth every cent."

Judith C., 32 from Vienna Kalter Bruder® Fan since 11/2022

Hot feet like sunburn on the soles.

“Without exaggeration, Kalter Bruder® has truly changed my life – the polyneuropathy in my feet and legs is improving, and the cooling effect completely eliminates pain and twitching.”

Daniela V.-N., 52 from Idstein Kalter Bruder® Fan from the very beginning (since 7/2021)

Restless legs with sleep disorders for 4 years.

"After taking Levod*** and no longer being able to bear the side effects, I discovered Kalter Bruder®. I was able to stop the pills immediately and finally sleep through the night again."

Sabine N., 60 from NRW Kalter Bruder® Fan since 03/2022

Severe restless legs after a pelvic fracture.

"The gel from Kalter Bruder® is pretty close to being a miracle cure - I was able to stop taking Levod*** completely and reduce the dose of Oxy**** significantly. Pro tip: it works best after a shower."

Christian S., 88 from Marktheidenfeld Kalter Bruder® Fan since 09/2023

Restless legs worsening with menopause

"Every evening, I do a wall-sit exercise and then rub the gel on my legs – it always works, and I fall asleep perfectly again. I’m endlessly grateful to have found this amazing gel!"

Karin V., 56 from Baar (Switzerland) Kalter Bruder® Fan since 08/2021

Sleep disorders with restless legs during on-call duty.

“Since 1988, my legs have been stabbing, twitching, and tingling. In 2005, I discovered Rotigotine patches, which provided relief. Today, I also use Kalter Bruder® gel and hardly have any issues anymore.”

Sabine K., 76 from Rügen Kalter Bruder® Fan since 07/2023

RELAXATION THROUGH COOLING

The application of cold to polyneuropathy has interesting effects on the nervous system that can help alleviate symptoms. To understand how this works, it helps to look at the body's physiological responses to cold. So what happens to the nerves when cold is applied?

Slowing of nerve conduction velocity:

Cold slows the transmission speed of nerve impulses. In the extremities, this can reduce unpleasant sensations such as tingling, burning or pain. The nerves are less ‘reactive’, which can lead to a certain calming of the symptoms.

Reducing the inflammatory response:

Although inflammation is not necessarily a primary factor in PNP, an accompanying inflammatory response in the legs can contribute to symptom intensification. By...
