“Experience the Magic and Power of an Ancient Alchemical Preparation – Spagyrics”
“Rediscover and embrace the Divine in yourself, in the natural and spiritual worlds. The lifestyle and healthcare choices you make either facilitate or impede your growth and development as a human being, comprised of soul, spirit, and body.”
-Joseph Michael Contrada-
When you work with Hemp Flower for Life Hemp Oil you take into your body a truly extraordinary plant healer. Created with the Highest Intention, Love and Prayers and utilizing the Ancient Wisdom of Alchemy in holistic support of your optimal health and well being: Body, Mind and spirit.
Starting with our “Beyond Organic” Farm’s mission to produce the finest, purest and highest quality USDA Organic Craft Hemp Flower, we then set out to create Hemp Flower for Life Hemp Oil with the same passion – To produce the finest, most beneficial Hemp Extract we could create.
We knew we had to make it just as extraordinary as the pristine Hemp Flower that goes into it. And that meant we had to use the most pure and effective, not the most economical, preparation method to realize the full potential of this extraordinary healing plant.
While most products focus on providing a few molecules, mainly CBD, we knew that much of the wisdom of the Whole Plant was getting lost in this modern reductionist view of specific molecules; we knew there was a better way! And when it comes to unlocking the full health benefits, the Magic and the Power of Healing Plants you need not look further than the wisdom of the Ancient Masters of Herbal
Alchemy and their methods of “Spagyric” preparation.
“Ordinary tinctures, infusions, decoctions and the like utilize, in part, the curative powers of the plants from which they are prepared. The Spagyric preparation ‘opens’ the plant, and by its own process liberates stronger curative powers. It is in principle synergistic, and less interested in isolated pharmacologically active principles.”
-Manfred Junius- Former Head of the Australian School of Ayurveda in Adelaide, Australia
During the Renaissance, Spagyric medicine was founded by Paracelsus, a German-Swiss philosopher, alchemist, astrologer and physician, often referred to as the “Father of Medicine”. He coined the term “spagyria” to describe the application of “Alchemical” working methods to the production of medicines. Spagyria is a Greek word combining the concepts of spaō (to draw out, to divide) and ageiro (to gather, to bind, to join).
“Many have said of Alchemy, that it is for the making of gold and silver. For me such is not the aim, but to consider only what virtue and power may lie in medicines.”
-Paracelsus-
In Alchemy, everything is composed of three essential parts:
1. Sulphur – The Soul – In Spagyrics: Essential Oils, Terpenes and Organic Acids.
2. Mercury – The Life Force/Spirit – In Spagyrics: Pure Plant Alcohol.
3. Salt – The Physical Body – In Spagyrics: Minerals and Salts)
Essentially, the Spagyrics process seeks to separate, purify and recombine all 3 aspects of the plant (Soul, Spirit and Body) into a more synergistic, more potent and more healing form than you could possibly get using only isolated parts of the plant.
“We are tracing the footsteps of historical heroes who risked life and limb to plumb the secret depths of Sacred Nature. And who did so while enflamed in prayer….
The failing of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment movement was its embrace of hyper-rationalism. The empirical imperative turned True Science on its head. The scientist/adept was forced to deny the sense of humility and wonder that his research engendered. The love for the Creator who fashioned the miracle of matter was relegated to the superstitions of the past.”
-James Wasserman- Introduction to Brian Cotnoir’s Weiser Concise Guide to Alchemy,
The Spagyric Process used in Hemp Flower for Life Hemp Oil is done with organic cane sugar alcohol (Mercury Element, Life Force/Spirit) to produce a pure and high potency tincture retaining the Essential Oils, Terpenes and Organic Acids (Sulphur Element, Soul). Alcohol dissolves the essential oils of the plant along with other alcohol soluble chemicals and components into a purified and concentrated tincture. Alcohol is the only solvent which extracts the plants chemicals at the same ratios contained in the plant – this is very important in order to retain the maximal healing properties and maintain the Alchemical wisdom inherent in the plant.
Also essential to a Spagyric preparation, alcohol distillations are done under vacuum and without high heat (Not more than 120deg F). Avoiding high heat is critical to preserving the full spectrum of beneficial but heat sensitive constituents of the plant, and to maintain the full power of an Alchemical preparation.
Conventional extraction methods (both C02 and ordinary Alcohol extractions) require high heat to cause the “decarboxylation” necessary to activate many of the plants beneficial cannabinoids. But in doing so they also destroy many of the beneficial terpenes and other components of the plant that we want to preserve with Spagyrics. In conventional methods decarboxylation takes place during extraction with high heat and this concludes their preparation of the crude oil. The leftover plant material, called the “mash”, is simply wasted. This is where conventional preparation methods conclude the process,
leaving much of the benefits of the plant, the minerals and salts, the “Body”, left in the mash to be wasted.
And this is where the Alchemy of Spagyrics begins…
The potent and purified tincture produced from the alcohol extraction is poured off and saved in a dark place. The leftover extracted plant material, the mash, is then burned to a fine white ash, being “calcined”. This process is to extract and purify the Salt Element, the Alchemical “Body” of the plant. This is a very labor intensive process as the Alchemist has to tend the fires day and night for multiple days until the calcination is complete and the salts will readily dissolve in water. This pure white ash is then mixed with distilled water to dissolve the minerals and then finally the water is filtered and slowly evaporated to crystallize the mineral salts.
These pure, white crystallized mineral salts are then recombined with the tincture that was made through the alcohol extraction. Recombining the minerals Salts causes the necessary chemical “decarboxylation” required to activate the power of the cannabinoids. Remember this is done without the use of high heat (which destroys vital elements), and brings the 3 essential Alchemical elements of the plant (Sulphur/Soul, Mercury/Spirit, Salt/Body) back into harmony with one another in their most potent forms, completing the Alchemical preparation of the plant.
The final Spagyric tincture now contains all the activated cannabinoids, terpenes, acids, oils and mineral salts the plant originally had, but now in a more potent and purified form. Essentially the energetics and the chemical aspects of the plant are maintained to the fullest extent and you are left with a truly extraordinary extract, for which there is no comparison.
