Dr. Reckeweg R3, also known as Corvosan or Heart Drops, is a homeopathic formulation designed to support heart function, circulation, and cardiac muscle tone.

The formulation is intended for supportive care in functional and mild chronic heart conditions.

Dr. Reckeweg R3 typically contains the following homeopathic ingredients:

• Cactus grandiflorus – traditionally used for chest tightness, heart oppression, and angina-like symptoms.

• Crataegus (Hawthorn) – supports heart muscle tone and circulation; used in heart weakness.

• Digitalis – used in homeopathy for irregular heartbeat and weakened heart muscle.

• Kalium carbonicum – used for palpitations and weakness.

• Kalmia – supports slow, irregular pulse and nerve-related heart issues.

• Phosphorus – useful in homeopathy for general weakness and cardiac fatigue.

Indications / Claimed Uses

How It Works (Homeopathic Perspective)

According to homeopathic principles:

• Ingredients like Cactus and Crataegus support circulation and heart muscle tone.

• Digitalis and Strophanthus aim to regulate pulse and strengthen the heart.

• The combination is believed to influence heart rhythm, muscle strength, and circulation.

• It works by stimulating the body’s self-healing mechanism through homeopathic dilution.

Dosage & Administration

Typical suggested dosage guidelines:

• 10–20 drops, diluted in a small amount of water, 3 times daily.

• In the beginning of treatment: may be taken 4–6 times daily for stronger effect.

• For acute episodes (palpitations or sudden weakness): 10–20 drops every 15–30 minutes until improvement, then revert to regular dosing.

• Once stable, a maintenance dose of 10–15 drops 2–3 times daily can be used.

Drops are taken orally, usually mixed in water.

Precautions

• R3 is a homeopathic supportive remedy, not a substitute for medical treatment for serious heart disease.

• Seek medical attention immediately for:

  • severe chest pain

  • breathlessness

  • swelling of legs

  • suspected heart attack

• Use cautiously in elderly patients or those already on heart medications.

• Not recommended for self-treatment of acute cardiac emergencies.

• Keep away from strong odors, heat, and direct sunlight.

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place.

• Keep the bottle tightly closed.

• Protect from strong smells (perfumes, spices) as they may affect homeopathic medicines.
