What Makes Amazon Herbs Special?

Spagyrics: Bringing the Cosmos Back into Medicine. The laboratory table must once again become the altar -- Rudolf Steiner

The Nutrition Facts panel on my can of beans quantifying fat, protein, and carbohydrates reveals nothing of the beans' life force energy. We're so estranged from our food we no longer remember its true source: sun, water, earth, stars, cosmos. Instead, we now have laws requiring that our foods be analyzed and labeled as the sum of chemical parts.

Forgetting the Hippocratic commandment, Let food be thy medicine, modern man goes to the laboratory to engineer isolated nutrient supplements, divorced from heaven and earth alike.

There is another way. Ancient healers in India, China, and Egypt, more intimate with the energies of plants and planets, evolved an herbal extraction method that captures all the curative powers and actually elevates them above what was inherent in the original plant. Further refined by the Greeks, this plant alchemy or spagyrics flowered with Paracelsus in 16th century Europe. Although today spagyrics is little practiced, Amazon Herb Company chose it as the method par excellence to extract the full life spirit from its rainforest treasures.

Spagyric Extracts -- What's In Them For You?

Spagyric extracts hit you like a cosmic thunderbolt of healing energy. Spagyrics "opens" the plant and liberates medicine powers not available in the ordinary extract. These medicine powers have nothing to do with the pharmacologically active constituents modern science seeks to standardize.

Both spagyric and ordinary extraction methods macerate (soak) the herb in a menstrum (mixture) of water and grain alcohol between the new and full moon. Water dissolves the water-soluble nutrients; alcohol the alkaloids. The extract is then pressed out, leaving the plant fiber. With ordinary techniques, this fiber or marc is discarded, thus losing the many minerals, trace elements and nutrients, including glycosides, locked up in the cellulose matrix.

The spagyric method cremates the marc in an airtight, oxygen-free kiln at 1500 degrees Fahrenheit for a prolonged period of time (5 or 6 days). This calcination process produces a fine white, mineral rich alkaline ash that is then run (mixed) in a special kind of water, oscillated at a high frequency, pressed out, and allowed to dry into crystals.

Once this running in water process is completed a second time, the crystalline ash is recombined (reunited in the "chymical wedding") back into the original liquid extract, yielding an extremely high potency, fast-acting formula with the full synergy of the whole living herb and of the etheric cosmic forces that created it.

Why are spagyric extracts infinitely more potent than ordinary ones? Because they release all the nutrients and minerals; because they work with the universal energies of the cosmos; and because they draw upon the spagyric practitioner's mindful intent and inspired heart.
