After calcination (ashing), only the plant's valuable mineral salts remain. These valuable mineral salts are then added back to the resulting tincture. According to Paracelsus, the most important principle of alchemical medicinal preparation is "to separate" (Greek "spao" = I dissolve, I separate) and "to reconnect" ("ageiro" = I join, I unite). The medicinal plant is broken down into its individual components, freed from toxins through the manufacturing process, and reunited to the highest purity.
This careful and time-consuming preparation allows for the production of effective, high-quality remedies. Nature is never in a hurry. And neither are we. Nature sets the pace for us, and we are grateful to be able to harness this rhythm for the benefit of our collective health.
