Holzhacker has been represented at many trade fairs, something which required the right product presentation. To draw as much attention as possible to the green colour of the rubbing alcohol, the product was presented against a gold-coloured cloth as a backdrop; there was a sharp focus on the details even in the early days.

In 1980, Maria Treben published the book “Health from the Pharmacy” based on her personal experiences. Treben fell ill with abdominal typhus and was given a bottle filled with a strong smelling liquid from a stranger. She made a compress with the liquid and applied it to her stomach, regaining her health as a result. As a result of this experience, she made her own mixture of Swedish bitters and decided to help the general public. For example, she treated a young woman for pneumonia, restored a woman’s hearing and provided relief to a man’s intestinal cancer.
