Medicines

Spagyric medicine is ancient natural medicine that has undergone 500 years of trial, research and practice. Paracelsus, the famous Swiss Physician, Philosopher and Alchemist are considered as the founder of Spagyric. It was almost forgotten until the 19th century. Dating from the times of Paracelsus, the terms ‘Spagyric’ and ‘Spagyrism’ are derived from the Greek verbs “span to separate” and ageirein (to unify). He became a physician and a lecturer at Basel, but his controversial views caused his exile in 1538. He pioneered the application of chemistry to medicine, gave the most up- to-date description of medicine and introduced the use of many drugs. Many of his theories anticipated modern medical practices. For the process of separating, paracelsus and his helpers developed different extractions, to that “Arcanum” of a drug, which we would say, ingredients of a medicine, to get out. Fermentation and distillation were two supports, which were one of the many supports. In the second step were the now made extracts added together to make different medicines against different diseases.

 

They designate the art of creating medications of enhanced efficacy by performing the two fundamental alchemical operations. The valuable portions are first separated from those which are impure processed and subsequently reunited to yield an improved medicinal form.

 

The source materials of Spagyric medicines are exclusively from botanical origin. Depending upon the manufacturing process, differentiation is made among Spagyrism.
