Based on the individual homoeopathic constituents of Tanacet-Heel, therapeutic possibilities result for the expulsion of worms, with secondary, toxic symptoms, tics, also chorea minor during worm removal (also idiopathic), cramp, loss of appetite and Iycorexia alternating (Tanacet-Heel stimulates the appetite).
The helminths are not killed by Tanacet-Heel, but the homotoxic terrain which is palatable to the worms (excretion of homotoxins in the intestine) is changed. Tanacet-Heel should always be administered with alternating remedies, e.g. with Nervoheel for tearfulness, exhaustion, discomfort; Vomitusheel for nausea and sickness; Hepeel for salivation, disorders of the hepatic functions and anorexia; Spascupreel for intestinal spasms (helminthic coil), intestinal colic, Nux vomica-Homaccord (for ileus arising from the helminthic coil - ascarides); Schwef-Heel for cleansing the terrain; Diarrheel S for dyspeptic phenomena and toxin adsorption.
The dosage is adjusted according to the disease, the symptoms and the stage of the illness: 10 drops 3-4 times daily. For long-term therapy after the introductory dosage: 10 drops twice daily, possibly on sugar.
