Spagyrik
-this is how we grill our medicine
According to Paracelsus, spagyric art is the highest because it can prepare the "things of nature" such as plants, minerals and metals in such a way that they contribute to human recovery.

The alchemy of medicinal plants
combine traditional herbal medicine and alchemical principles.
This creates mysterious manufacturing processes and the diverse applications of spagyrics.
In this way, alchemical art promotes physical harmony and mental balance.
Based on medical history and constitution, I recommend Alcahest elixirs and quintessences of

a touch of inspiration -
how elixirs are created...
Sulfur - would be, for example, fragrance or oils,...
everything that we can perceive with our senses
First the oil is extracted.
The relationship to the plant denotes the spiritual part, which is why it is considered foric.
Merkur - (Alcohol)
As an expression of the spiritual, Mercury is also known as the primordial bridge of life.
The alcohol mixture is separated out by distillation and stored separately.
Alcohol represents the maximum approach to the spiritual. Since Mercury (Hermes) is the messenger of the gods, he connected the earthly and divine worlds back then.
SAL - Structural Bonds (Sal)
The rest of the plant is burned until only the salt remains.
That which has resisted the purifying power of fire is the expression of the plant's strongest materiality.
After the plant has been separated into its three earthly forms
(SPAO – separate), their active ingredients SULFUR, SAL and MERKUR are now available in their pure form.

Combining remedies
(AGEIRO - merge)
There are different production processes in spagyrics, and their use depends on the desired benefit and intended use.
The production of quintessences and elixirs often requires complex and meticulous processes intended to extract the essence or purest form of a substance. This complex manufacturing process is viewed as an indication of quality and is vastly different from making simple tinctures.
The connection with the micro and macrocosm could indicate that in spagyrics there is a belief in an interaction between the microscopic and macroscopic aspects of life.
