Hormeel S, due to its individual constituents, exerts a mildly stimulating action, in the combination effect (Bürgi), on the endocrine glands, especially on the hypophysis cerebri, through mobilization of the tropic hormones on the endocrine glands situated below (gonads, thyroid gland, suprarenal glands); further, also on the connective tissues, and it can, therefore, be applied as auxiliary remedy for the widest variety of indications in which there is a suspicion of hormonal dysfunction.
Based on the individual homoeopathic constituents of Hormeel S, therapeutical possibilities result for the treatment of functional disturbances in the female cycle, symptoms of ovarian and hypophyseal insufficiency, amenorrhoea, dysmenorrhoea (in the latter case, Spascupreel and Gynäcoheel in addition); as auxiliary medicinal treatment of sterility and in habitual miscarriage. Neurovegetative and psychosomatic disturbances (migraine, depression, nymphomania, in these cases possibly alternating with Ypsiloheel and Nervoheel). Female sterility (in combination with Gynäcoheel and Apis-Homaccord); climacteric (in addition to Klimakt-Heel and Metro-Adnex-Injeel).
As auxiliary remedy, Hormeel S is administered in oophoritis, adnexitis, salpingitis, para-, myo-, endometritis and colpitis (with Metro-Adnex-Injeel, Traumeel S and Gynäcoheel), in fluor albus (with Gynäcoheel and Lamioflur), in Kraurosis vulvae (with Mercurius-Heel S, Mezereum-Homaccord, possibly also Schwef-Heel, Sulfur-Injeel S, Klimakt-Heel, etc.).
Additional indications for Hormeel S are gynecological cystitis, various skin diseases such as neurodermatitis, rosacea, acne vulgaris juvenilis, as well as diseases of the mucous membranes (rhinitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, laryngeal weakness (in addition to Phosphor-Homaccord and Ignatia-Homaccord), aphthous stomatitis, aphthe, struma parenchymatosa, hyperthyroidism) and loss of appetite in childhood (in addition to Lymphomyosot, Hepeel and Calcoheel). The dosage is adapted according to the disease, the clinical picture and the stage of the illness: in continuos treatment 10 drops 3-4 times daily. As massive initial-dose therapy to stimulate the hormones, 5-10 drops hourly, in addition 1 ampoule i.m., s.c., i.v., i.d., possibly with auxiliary remedies, at first daily, then later 1-3 times weekly. Hormeel S can cause the menses to begin prematurely, thereby, in our opinion, provoking increased haemorrhages.
