Spagyric Medicine
Alchemically prepared medicines using plant matter.
Spagyric medicine applies alchemical principles to plant preparation - separating, purifying, and recombining the three principles (salt, sulfur, mercury) of plant matter to create potent healing remedies.
Separate, purify, and recombine - this is the spagyric art.
Spagyrics provides a practical entry point to alchemical work.

Spagyric practice separates, purifies and recombines the three principles in plant matter to make remedies — actual preparations, still produced today. This is the one place hermeticism touches the sick body with its hands rather than its metaphysics.
