What is in Gripp-Heel?
Gripp-Heel brings together several ingredients that homeopathy has long associated with chills, aches and feverish, run-down feelings.
- Aconitum napellus, classically linked with the sudden onset of a chill.
- Bryonia and Eupatorium perfoliatum, traditionally associated with body aches and that 'coming down with something' feeling.
- Phosphorus and Lachesis, chosen to complete the blend.
How is Gripp-Heel traditionally used?
Gripp-Heel comes as tablets that dissolve in the mouth, so it is easy to use at the first hint of feeling off. In homeopathic self-care it is one of the remedies people associate with seasonal chills and flu-like achiness.
People commonly reach for it when a cold seems to be brewing, when they feel achy and heavy, or during the busy bug-swapping seasons. It is often used alongside rest, warmth and plenty of fluids.
Who reaches for Gripp-Heel?
It appeals to families, commuters, teachers and anyone who wants a natural option in the cupboard for the sniffly seasons. It is one of the best-known cold-and-flu-season names in the Heel range and a family-medicine-cabinet staple.
