Based on the individual homeopathic constituents of Gripp-Heel therapeutical
possibilities result for the treatment of influenza and catarrhal influenzal
infections in any stage and in patients of any age. Further, other feverish
(infectious) diseases such as angina, otitis media, bronchitis, tracheitis, etc.
Irrespective of which particular organotropism (organotropy to the upper parts
of the respiratory tract, such as the nose and pharynx, pneumo-, cardio-dermato-,
entero- or neurotropy) or which microorganism causing influenza is present,an
increase in the body's own defenses is always indicated, which is achieved by
means of Gripp-Heel (orally and/or parenterally).
In this connection, in the reversal effect according to Arndt-Schulz, Aconitum
exerts a specially stimulating action on the hemoderm (abatement of chilliness),
in addition rapidly relieving neuralgic disorders and circulatory lability,
while Eupatorium eliminates pains in the joints and the feeling of exhaustion.
The content of Lachesis (septic infections, tendency towards hemolysis), Bryonia
(thirst, irritation from coughing, retrosternal pain, diseases of the serous
membranes such as pleuritis) and Phosphorus (petechiae, elective effect on the
lungs in preventing pneumonia) broadens the therapeutical spectrum of Gripp-Heel
according to Burgi's principle, perfecting the preparation effectively.
The dosage is adjusted according to the disease, the clinical picture and the
stage of the illness:
in fever and to cut the disease short, at the start of therapy
1 tablet every 15 minutes for 2-3 hours,
after which, transition to 1 tablet 3 times daily.
As influenza prophylaxis in periods of epidemic,
1 tablet 3 times daily.

in addition 1-2 ampules daily i.v., i.m., s.c., intra-cutaneously, preferably
mixed with Engystol and/or with Traumeel (mixed injections to avoid excessive
reactions, i.m. or s.c.),
as long as fever remains; possibly intermediate injections of Echinacea
compositum.
The i.c. neural application of Gripp-Heel is particularly indicated for pains in
the joints.
For children, it is recommended that only i.m. or s.c. injections of Gripp-Heel
ampules should be given.
