To do this you need:

choose a mature plant (over three years old), since over time the beneficial substances in the plant become more concentrated;
a week before using Kalanchoe, stop watering it;
for cutting, choose large, thick, undamaged leaves; you can also use stems;
rinse the cut leaves well, pat dry and place them whole in the refrigerator for seven days to accumulate biostimulants;
grind the prepared raw materials until a homogeneous mass is obtained - with wooden spoons or in a mortar; it is not forbidden to use a plastic garlic press, even a meat grinder.

Now you need to squeeze the juice into a glass or ceramic container, using several layers of clean gauze. Let it settle. For treatment, you need to take the transparent part without sediment.

The strength of the resulting juice depends on how old the plant is from whose leaves it was squeezed: the older the flower, the stronger its juice, the stronger its healing effect.

Another recipe for “long-lasting” drops. Cut off the leaves, wrap in paper, and put in the refrigerator for the same 7 days. Then grind in a ceramic bowl and return to the refrigerator for another two days. After this, separate the juice from the pulp by straining through several layers of gauze. For 250 grams of juice (glass), add 10 ml (two teaspoons) of alcohol. Mix, cover well and store in a cool place. The healing properties last for a year.
