The purified white salts are gathered and crushed into a fine powder to increase their surface area. They are recombined with the tincture of the plant that was made prior. By reintroducing the minerals into the tincture, all three philosophical principles are now recombined together. This is the basic method for completing the spagyric process. The tincture now contains all the acids, oils and minerals the plant originally had but now in a more potent and purified form. In this way, the energetics and the chemical aspects of the plant are maintained to the fullest extent. It also creates new compounds specific to the chemistry of that plant and its method of preparation. A Little Chemistry…. Some medicine systems appear to be less effective than previous times. It has been suggested that the energetic frequency of both the earth and human organism are changing. Therefore these systems may no longer be a vibrational match for the changing frequencies. Spagyric Medicine is designed to 'tune in with' these current frequencies. Research suggests that the Spagyric essences may instigate improved health by energetically influencing DNA. Spagyrics is a branch of the European alchemical tradition developed by the Swiss alchemist and physician Paracelsus. This rich lineage focuses on the preparation of medicinal plants that reaches far beyond your typical forms of herbal extract. So we suggest taking at least 5 minutes when you ingest your spagyric to simply sit with it and pay attention to what’s happening in your body, in your feelings, and in your mind. It doesn’t need to be some 360 degree, wide-screen surround sound vision of cosmological proportions… it can be something subtle, a sensation or feeling, a memory that surfaces, a person you haven’t thought about in years… The goal here is to give yourself the space and time to feel the consciousness, intelligence, and chemistry of the plant working within you and be aware of what surfaces. For example: “research published in the British Homeopathic Journal by Professor RR Sharma demonstrated that the energetic information contained in homeopathic medicines [like spagyrics] is able to cross the blood-brain barrier in a matter of approximately 8 seconds and thus deliver therapeutic effects in a deep manner.” ( Source )

The flip side of that is true as well. We see people who work more with subtle forms of herbal medicine, more the vibrational properties of the plants, to work through those psychological and emotional dynamics. But in the process, they may overlook symptoms in the body that are linked to that psychological, emotional dynamic.The quantification of iridoid components in the tinctures under investigation was made by HPLC-DAD against a calibration curve obtained with harpagoside (Phytolab) at six different concentrations in the linear range of 1000–31 µg/mL in MeOHaq 80%. The correlation coefficient ( r 2) of the standard curve in the linear plot was r 2 = 0.9999 ( y = 4 E + 07 x + 391,135), indicating good linearity between peak areas and concentrations within the used concentration range. The quantitation of harpagide was made by HPLC-ELSD against a calibration curve obtained with harpagide at six different concentrations in the linear range of 2000–62.5 µg/mL. The correlation coefficient ( r 2) of the standard curve in the linear plot of log-transformed data was r 2 = 0.9992 ( y = 1.7569 x− 1.7101), indicating good linearity between the log-transformed areas and log-transformed concentrations within the tested concentration range.

After developing this relationship with your plant of choice, you’ll start to notice archetypal qualities about it that correlate to a particular planet. Once you make this connection, you can identify which day and hour are associated with that planet and use those as references to know when to plant, cultivate, and prepare your plant in your spagyrics lab. These planetary timing mechanisms are central to the production of true spagyric medicines, as you’re aligning your work with the specific energetic quality of time associated with the planetary energy you want to harvest into your medicine.Spagyrics are one of the oldest approaches to holistic health and healing. Spagyrics actually have their own system of medicine, which is a unique blend of homeopathy, herbology, alchemy, and pharmacology. There are some indications that the antioxidant properties of some of the specialized metabolites also contribute to the anti-inflammatory effects of pharmaceutical preparations based on H. procumbens [ 14, 15, 25, 27]. However, the antioxidant activity of devil’s claw has not been extensively investigated, and there have been no previous investigations on the antioxidant bioactivity of spagyric preparations. Previous studies have only reported moderate antioxidant activity in methanolic root extracts of H. procumbens, while an aqueous extract containing 2.6% harpagoside was shown to have a good capacity to scavenge DPPH. In addition, intraperitoneal administration of a 53% ethanolic extract of devil’s claw to male Wistar rats indicated antioxidant effects similar to those induced by selegiline [ 4, 14, 28].
