Alcohol is a very effective solution in mobilizing the herbal properties that are active within plant cells, and is an excellent preservative.
Through our experience, recovering alcoholics do not have any problems during or after taking the Strauss Heartdrops®. When taking a serving of 15 drops the most alcohol ingested is approximately 6 drops. It takes 160 drops to make a teaspoon.
If you are still concerned about consuming alcohol then there is a very simple solution. Simply add the drops to a little (1/8 oz) hot water and then leave for a minute or two, then drink on an empty stomach. This will make the alcohol evaporate off, while maintaining the benefits of the herbs.
