The journey of matrescence I have been walking, has lead me to living in a way that is in deeper relationship and harmony with Nature.

Centring Care, Rest, Reciprocity, Listening and our family values. From this foundation, I offer my collaborations with the plants.

A potent collection of Spagyric Tinctures made with intention to weave in gentle support for modern life.

As I started intuitively growing these specific plants and making remedies for myself and family, my focus has been on, balancing the heart, nourishing the nervous system, fortifying the immune system and uplifting mental clarity. The products I make will always feature fresh plants that have been organically grown, intentionally harvested and carefully processed by me.

Each plant contains so many benefits and as I have only provided simple information here, if you have any questions about them, please feel free to contact me and I will share what I can from my own knowledge and lived experience or enquire further learning alongside you.

For me the importance is in connecting with the essence of plants, more than “what they are good for”. I have learned a lot from direct relationship, listening and personalising the way that I work with them through alignment and intention. I hope that people can relate to these products beyond “what this plant is good for” and find/nourish their own direct connections.

The Process in short: These potent preparations are made with organically grown herbs that are picked at their peak vibrancy from our garden. The fresh plant material is then put in a vessel with certified organic, gluten free vodka and left to macerate.

After the alcohol extraction is complete, I dehydrate the plant material and then it is incinerated into a fine ash in a clay crucible. I then filter and separate the water soluble minerals, adding back into the tincture, the purified crystalline mineral salts of the plant.

Local honey that has been infused with either the same plant or a different herb that blends beautifully is the finishing touch.

The Origins of Spagyrics

The practice is most often associated with the physician and alchemist Paracelsus, who lived during the 16th century.

Paracelsus believed that a medicinal preparation should reflect the whole nature of a plant rather than only a single extract. His work laid the foundations for what would become the spagyric tradition.

Central to this tradition is the concept of the Tria Prima - three principles understood to be present within all living things:

Mercury - the volatile, mobile, and communicative aspect of the plant.

Sulfur - the plant's unique character and expression.

Salt - the mineral body and structural foundation of the plant.

These are alchemical principles rather than chemical substances, offering a way of understanding the different dimensions of plant life.

Why I Work This Way

Spagyric medicine is a traditional method of herbal preparation rooted in the Western alchemical tradition.

The word itself comes from Greek roots meaning to separate and to reunite, which is precisely what the process asks of both the plant and the maker.

A conventional tincture draws the soluble constituents of a plant into alcohol. This can be a beautiful and effective form of medicine, though in many modern settings tinctures are made with dried, imported herbs and standard ethanol.

Spagyrics takes the process further.

After extraction, the remaining plant matter is carefully calcined to ash. From that ash, the mineral salts are purified and recovered. These salts are then returned to the original extract, reunifying what was separated and completing a cycle that a standard tincture does not usually close.

Those mineral salts carry the fixed, structural elements of the plant, its mineral body. By returning them to the extract, the minerals themselves can add a host of medicinal properties. Philosophically, extracts that contain the Salt are "embodied preparations," and thus have a stronger affinity for our physical body.

This is one reason spagyric preparations have traditionally been understood as a more complete and integrated form of herbal medicine.

I also try my best to work in alignment with the old principle of as above, so below.

For me, this means paying attention to the rhythms surrounding the medicine: the season, the moon, the planetary day or hour, the character of the plant, and the timing of each stage of preparation.

I am still learning this language. I do not claim to have mastered it. But I feel drawn to work in a way that honours the plant as part of a much larger living pattern.

This keeps the process slow, intentional, and relational.

The calcination, the purification, the return. Each stage asks for attention in a way that changes how you come to understand what you are working with.

It is a slower method. A more involved method. One that asks for patience, observation, and care.

But what comes out the other side honours the plant more completely.

Nothing discarded. Nothing wasted.

My intention is for these preparations to support a deeper relationship with ourselves, with the living world, and with the natural rhythms that guide restoration, capacity, and inner harmony.
