Spagyric Alchemy
Herbal Processing

The practice of spagyric plant alchemy involves the application of alchemical working methods to the production of herbal medicines. Spagyric plant remedies differ from ordinary tinctures and extracts in that the spagyric process incorporates more completely the properties of the plant. In a standard tincture, the plant material is placed in solution with an extracting medium, usually alcohol. After time, the liquid is filtered as the finished tincture and the marc, or remaining plant material, is discarded. In the spagyric process, the fractions of the liquid extract are separated by distillation, purified and concentrated, and recombined. In addition, the marc is included in the remedy in the form of its calcined, purified mineral salts. The final recombination, known as the exaltation, is accomplished through a circulating volatization / condensation of the elements. This final step, which can continue for 48 hours or more, raises the energies of the remedy, after which it is filtered and ready to use.
