Elderflower Spagyric Tincture
Spagyric tinctures are made via a series of laboratory processes resulting in the separation, purification and cohobation of the plant spirit, soul, and body creating a full & powerful extract in resonance with the Alchemical Salt principle (the Physical Body).
All of our herbal extracts use organically grown and/or ethically wildcrafted/organic herbs and certified organic food-grade ethanol diluted in filtered and/or distilled rainwater.
Elder flower (Sambucus canadensis & S. nigra) of the elder tree, belonging to the Adoxaceae family, is a classic antiviral plant medicine traditionally used to alleviate cold & flu symptoms in all ages.
Traditionally, elder flower is well revered for its well-rounded applications when the body needs support in any cases of hot-swampy dis-ease states. It is particularly useful when there are conditions of toxic heat such as swellings and infections with discharge both internally and externally, especially when involving the respiratory, skin and immune systems.
Elder flower helps to disperse (wind/toxic)heat, phlegm, fever & inflammation. Due to elder flower's energetics (see below), these actions are firstly facilitated through helping to cool the body's exterior via sweating and expectoration of mucous; then secondly via drying out and draining fluid build up within the tissues. For use in unremitting fever, this tincture is best added to warm water or tea.
Our Y.E.S tea is a blend of homegrown yarrow, elder flower, and spearmint, which can be especially useful for cold & flu, bronchitis and other phlegmy conditions.

-
Antipathy in Galenic medicine involved using treatments that possessed qualities opposite to those of the humor associated with the disease. For example, if a patient had a condition characterised by excessive heat, such as a fever, Galenic physicians would prescribe remedies with cooling or cold properties to counterbalance the excess heat. Similarly, if a condition was considered excessively moist, treatments with drying or astringent properties would be employed.
