Horsetail Spagyric Tincture | Quintessential Alchemy

The Horsetail Spagyric Tincture is made using an alchemical process that separates, purifies, and recombines the matter (Body: vitamins and minerals), consciousness (Soul: essential oils), and life force (Spirit: alcohols) of the plant to release its full curative powers. The resulting spagyric herbal tincture is synergistic and more beneficial than just isolating individual chemicals. The whole of the plant properties is used, elevated, and recombined at the appropriate astrological time and with reverence and mindfulness, to give a complete "medicine" that works at all levels, including imparting the consciousness/knowledge of the plant. The perfected whole is truly greater than the sum of its parts.

Taking the Horsetail Spagyric Tincture will begin to cleanse and purify the physical body while rebalancing and transforming the energetic bodies at all levels. Over time, the refined and spiritualized essence of the Horsetail plant will become a part of you and you in turn become more refined and spiritualized. It will interact with your psychic nature, ever elevating you slightly higher, bringing you into closer alignment with your Quintessential Self.

Saturdays are, of course, Saturn’s Day. Of all the ancient planets, Saturn gets a bad rap for having “difficult” energy. It is true that Saturn can be a hard taskmaster, but when in balance and used wisely, Saturn can be a huge help on life’s journey, both physically and spiritually. For example, Saturn rules obstacles and blockages, but when you understand the lessons that Saturn is trying to teach you, then you learn to overcome those obstacles to move forward, and you’ll be stronger for it! Saturn also rules structure, stability, time and timelessness, perseverance, patience, discipline, stamina, Karma (ah, those lessons again!), and aging (cycle of life and death). The Alchemical Tincture of Horsetail can help to balance Saturnine energies, so that they are working in your favor rather than against you (or rather, you are better able to work with it!). Horsetail contains a large amount of minerals, especially silica, and so is very useful in treating malnutrition-related disorders which manifest as poor hair, skin, and fingernail condition. It increases calcium absorption and helps to build and repair connective tissue and cartilage, remineralizes bones to prevent/treat osteoporosis, and aids in healing wounds. Horsetail has also been used to treat Alzheimer’s disease and other aging-related conditions such as arthritis, in addition to backaches, broken bones, bronchitis, circulatory problems, cirrhosis, edema, gallbladder, hair loss, heart attack, inflammation, kidney stones, lyme disease, muscle cramps, obesity, osteoporosis, enlarged prostate, and sinusitis. At the Soul and Spirit level, the Alchemical Tincture of Horsetail can help relieve many symptoms of unbalanced Saturn energy such as repression, phobias, and compulsive behaviors. Instead, you are better able to understand the Karmic lessons of this lifetime, be able to take a timelessness view, and to persevere upon your spiritual path.

The Horsetail Spagyric Tincture was made in an alchemical process that takes over two months, with mindfulness, reverence, and adhering to correct astrological and lunar timing. The resulting tincture is in 80% grain alcohol and only gets more potent with age.

It is recommended that you take 10 drops of the tincture in a small glass of water daily. Following these directions, the 1 oz tincture will last approximately 2 months.
