The art of Spagyric healing
Each spagyric remedy is specifically tailored to meet your needs.
My practice with Spagyric medicine
As a herbalist, I love researching effective ways to harness the healing power of plants. While traditional herbal preparations offer immense benefits, a particular branch of medicine has captured my attention and become a prominent part of my practice: Spagyrics.
You might be asking, "What exactly are Spagyrics?"
In essence, Spagyrics is an alchemical approach to herbal medicine. It's a holistic process that aims to separate, purify, and then recombine the three essential components of a plant – its "body" (mineral salts), "soul" (volatile oils and alcohol), and "spirit" (pure plant essence). This isn't about turning lead into gold; it's about extracting the fullest possible spectrum of a plant's healing properties and making them more bioavailable and potent for the human body.
Understanding Spagyric medicine—a closer look
Spagyric medicine intelligently blends ancient tradition with evolving understanding. Its roots trace back to visionaries like Paracelsus (1493-1541), the renowned Swiss physician and philosopher who taught that humans are intimately connected to nature and can find healing through its vital properties. This system also integrates knowledge from other holistic approaches, including herbal medicine, classical homoeopathy, aromatherapy, mineral therapy and flower remedies.
The name 'Spagyric' itself comes from the Greek 'Spa-ageiro', meaning to separate and recombine the plant's constituents. This process creates an essence that is not only natural and pure but also powerful.
What sets Spagyric essences apart is their vibrational action. They work on a subtle energetic level, influencing both our emotional and mental states, as well as our physical body. While many seek relief for physical symptoms, I've often found it essential to address the emotional and psychological roots that might predispose an illness or imbalance.
In our rapidly changing world, maintaining balance and vitality is key. Spagyric medicines are designed to help us adapt and navigate these shifts. Research even suggests that these essences may support improved health by energetically influencing our DNA, helping us "tune in" to contemporary energetic frequencies. This focus on adapting to changing times is a key aspect, with new essences continually being developed by researchers like those at Phylak to keep pace.
Ultimately, these medicines can empower you to understand the deeper cause of your health concerns, helping you regain control and achieve greater well-being. This is why medical herbalists and traditional medicine practitioners choose Spagyrics for their holistic approach.
More than just an extraction—the "why" behind my love for Spagyrics
So, why do I choose to work with Spagyric preparations when simpler methods exist? My passion for Spagyrics stems from several key principles:
Holistic healing: In Spagyrics, we don't just extract the "active constituents." We work with the entirety of the plant – its energetic blueprint, its mineral essence, and its spirit. This resonates with my belief that true healing addresses the whole person, not just isolated symptoms. Spagyric remedies, by their very nature, aim to restore balance on multiple levels.
Enhanced potency and bioavailability: Through the alchemical process of separation and recombination, Spagyrics refines the plant's constituents, making them more easily assimilated by the body. This often translates to a deeper therapeutic effect, allowing for smaller yet more effective and sustainable doses.
Mineral richness: A unique aspect of Spagyrics is the reincorporation of the calcined plant ashes, which are rich in plant-derived mineral salts. These organic minerals are essential for countless bodily functions and can often be deficient in modern diets. By including them, Spagyrics offer a comprehensive nutrient profile.
Energetic vitality: There is a subtle yet powerful energetic quality to Spagyric preparations. The meticulous and respectful process involved in their creation imbues them with a distinct dynamism that is often palpable. It's a reflection of the alchemical principle of "solve et coagula" – dissolve and coagulate – which mirrors the processes of nature itself.
Deep reverence for the plant: For me, working with Spagyrics is an act of deep reverence for the plant kingdom. It's a slow, deliberate, and meditative process that fosters a connection with the plant's spirit. This intention, I believe, is carried within the final remedy.
Safety and quality of Spagyric medicine
When it comes to the remedies I recommend, safety and quality are of utmost importance. While I don't personally produce these complex preparations, I source them from trusted alchemists, primarily the Phylak Sachsen Laboratories in Germany and Switzerland. These facilities prepare Spagyric medicines using the methods of Dr. Carl Zimpel (1801-1879), which have initiated renewed interest in this system in more recent times.
Phylak Spagyric Medicines are crafted under strict conditions, with independent pharmaceutical chemists rigorously monitoring their production. This ensures that the essences are free from any toxic elements, making them safe to use with no known interactions with medications or other treatment systems. Each essence also comes with its own Certificate of Analysis, confirming adherence to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and World Health Organisation (WHO) standards.
These medicines are widely recognised and commonly prescribed by medically qualified doctors across Europe, even gaining recognition from some medical insurers in Switzerland. The Phylak brand, in particular, holds recognition in the German Pharmacopoeia (paragraphs 25 and 26), underscoring its established credibility.
How I Incorporate Spagyrics into My Practice
When you come for a consultation, you'll find that I often recommend Spagyric remedies in conjunction with other herbal preparations. I find them particularly beneficial for:
Chronic and complex conditions: Their holistic nature and potency can be incredibly supportive for long-standing health challenges.
Energetic imbalances: When there's a need to address not just physical symptoms but also underlying energetic or emotional patterns, Spagyrics can be very helpful.
Nourishing and rebuilding: The mineral content makes them excellent for supporting deep tissue and organs, aiding in restoration and regeneration.
Individuals seeking deeper healing: For those who are ready to explore the deeper layers of their well-being, Spagyrics offer a wise path to healing.
End-of-life care and support: In tender moments of end-of-life care, Spagyrics offer gentle yet powerful support, providing emotional peace and comfort for individuals and solace to loved ones navigating this chapter.
My journey with Spagyrics has been one of continuous learning and awe. They represent a harmonious blend of ancient tradition, rigorous methodology, and practical application, bringing another dimension to my healing approach.
