Osteoheel S is excellent because of its very wide range of indications and can be interposed in the most varied phases, especially in diseases of the connective tissues, when a definite dyscrasic component is also present (luetic affection, consequences of retoxic impregnation, damaged connective tissues with deposition phases at the locus of the damage), e.g. gelatinous infiltration of the periosteum, etc., but also a tendency towards degeneration.

Also in acne conglobata and suppurations Osteoheel S (in addition to Cruroheel S) can have favourable effects, especially if Traumeel S has been used first. It is therefore recommended in this case to alternate between the two preparations mentioned.

The dosage is adjusted according to the disease, the symptoms and the stage of the illness: initially massive initial-dose therapy, 1 tablet every 15-30 minutes, otherwise 1 tablet dissolved on the tongue 3 times daily.
