Indications

Key symptoms for prescribing the drug

• Sensation of burning in the area of:
  • The feet (the patient moves their legs in bed looking for a cool spot);
  • The vertex of the head;
  • The palms;

Main cases of clinical application

Infectology and inflammatory syndromes

• Acute febrile conditions with constant or intermittent fever, head congestion, sensation of cold or heat in the feet, dry and hot skin;
• Influenza and influenza-like syndromes;
• Exanthematous fevers;
• Acute inflammatory diseases of the skin, mucous and/or serous membranes, connective tissue of any etiology.

When the drug is taken at the onset of the disorder, either a rapid retreat of all signs of inflammation or an acceleration of the development of the inflammatory process is observed, which allows for clarification of the diagnosis.

Note: to avoid exacerbation of inflammatory processes with a possible risk of suppuration in a closed cavity, it is not recommended to use low potencies.

Dermatology

• Itching that worsens when in a “hot” bed;
• All forms of dermatoses (erythematous, vesicular, with or without oozing), the common feature of which is itching that worsens when in a “hot” bed or from water (cold or hot), and a burning sensation due to intense scratching (urticaria, photodermatitis);
