The manufacturing complex processes used to make Spagyric essences purify the plant of its toxic components and magnifies its healing power. The resulting ‘Spagyric essence’ rebalances the human being in an energetic way related to Homeopathy, but different in preparation. We could say that Spagyric medicine is a bridge between phytotherapy and homeopathy, combining the advantages of these two therapeutic systems but being a totally whole and complete system in itself.
As a natural therapeutic system, Spagyric offers a holistic solution to physical and psychic ailments. It treats the human being as a whole, (Body, Soul and Spirit). In this respect Spagyric has the same foundation as the oldest ways of healing mankind, namely Chinese, Tibetan and Ayurvedic medicines, and is totally non-toxic, without side-effects. The concept of the spagyric remedy in turn relies upon the three cardinal principles of alchemy, termed as salt, sulphur and mercury. "The basis of matter was the alchemical trinity of principles – salt, sulfur and mercury. Salt was the principle of fixity (non-action) and in-combustibility; mercury was the principle of fusibility (ability to melt and flow) and volatility; and sulfur was the principle of inflammability."The three primal alchemical properties and their correspondence in spagyric remedy are:*Mercury = water elements, representing the life essence of the plant, the very alcohol extract of the plant is the carrier of the life essence.*Salt = earth element, representing the vegetable salts extracted from calcined ashes of plant body.*Sulphur = fire element, virtue of plant, representing the volatile oil essence of the plant. Spagyric also helps transform the patient: he/she is helped to evolve mentally and to understand, little by little, the real cause of his/her disease. This is an essential step in the process of healing. Paracelsus focused on stimulating the patient’s self-healing forces: complete healing of a disease does not come only by alleviating symptoms, but it must also cure emotions and fears that may have triggered it.

==Special Precautions of Spagyric Medicine==
Spagyric essences are not supposed to take the place of allopathic treatments. This is not the role of natural medicine. However, complementary medicine and allopathic drugs may work together for the benefit of patients. When allopathic treatments, however effective, exhibit unpleasant side-effects, Spagyric medicine finds its rightful role and brings help to patients. Though pure and undiluted, their efficacy may be compared with ‘highly diluted’ homeopathic remedies. They have no known side-effects.
