What is spagyric?
Turning traditional knowledge into the essential
Spagyric is an ancient holistic method of natural healing, with roots in the Orient and the cultures of the Himalayas. The name comes from the Greek words “spao” (to separate) and “aigeiro” (to unite): substances are separated, purified, then the essential parts are reunited.
The plant is both distilled and burned to ash (calcined). Its own salts are dissolved and crystallised until they are pure enough; only then are they combined with the distillate to form a spagyric essence. Paracelsus was one of the founders of this alchemical approach — for him, the art of separating the “bad” from the “good”. Plants are processed in this way to concentrate and intensify their active properties.
