Alchemy, the precursor to today's chemistry, reveals the ancient theory that led to the concentration and preservation of herbal remedies. You'll learn the difference between, making crude tinctures such as those available at health food stores, and creating alchemical spagyric tinctures. The word spagyric means to separate, purify and recombine, the three parts inherent in all matter: spirit (alcohol), body (plant matter), soul (essential oil).

You’ll also learn how to make an essential spagyric tincture on a budget. Many working alchemists invest in modern laboratory equipment to prepare their remedies. The ancient alchemists used clay vessels, but today alchemical preparations can be made with common kitchen items such as jars, and steel or ceramic pans. You will learn the various methods of creating potent herbal remedies that don't require an investment in expensive glassware.
