The Art of Spagyria
Where ancient wisdom meets modern precision.
Spagyric tinctures are not ordinary extracts. They are living preparations, shaped by the alchemical principle of separation, purification, and reunion. At CPHON, we refine this ancient art with modern precision — uniting science, nature, and philosophy in every preparation.
The Alchemical Foundation
Rooted in the Hermetic Tradition - The philosophy behind spagyrics originates from the Corpus Hermeticum and the teachings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus. The Emerald Tablet describes it in a single phrase:“As above, so below; as within, so without.”This principle guides our work — recognizing that plants, like humans, are composed of Body (salt), Mind (Spirit) and Soul (oil). Spagyric alchemy is the art of revealing, refining, and reuniting these three aspects into a preparation that reflects the whole.
The Process
Separation. Purification. Reunion.
The spagyric method is a structured process that goes beyond simple extraction. Each stage serves to unlock the plant’s deeper qualities:
- Separation – The plant’s Spiritus, Anima, and Corpus are carefully divided through controlled processes.
- Purification – Each part is refined: essential oils, mineral salts, and subtle essences are clarified until only their purest form remains.
- Reunion – The purified components are carefully reunited, restoring the plant’s complete essence in a new, elevated form.
The result is a preparation that is not only botanical but also philosophical — bridging nature and the human experience.
The Laboratory — The Heart of CPHON
The Laboratory — The Heart of CPHONThe CPHON laboratory is more than a workspace; it is the modern sanctum where tradition and innovation converge. With precision equipment, SKAL-certified herbs, and strict quality standards, each step of the spagyric process is carried out with care and integrity.
The laboratory is where science safeguards philosophy — ensuring consistency, transparency, and refinement in every edition.
Why Spagyria is Different
Ordinary tinctures and supplements capture only fragments of a plant’s potential. Spagyrics are different. By preserving and reuniting Body, Mind, and Soul, a spagyric tincture embodies the full spectrum of the plant’s essence.
- A tincture often contains only dissolved compounds.
- A supplement isolates specific active substances.
- A spagyric preparation reunites body, soul, and spirit — creating a complete botanical expression.
This holistic approach ensures that the preparation resonates on multiple levels: physical, subtle, and symbolic.
The Hermetic Bridge
The spagyric process is more than technique; it is a bridge between the material and the immaterial. By aligning with the Hermetic principle of balance, each preparation becomes a reflection of harmony between the five elements — Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether.
Just as Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine recognize the role of elements in vitality, spagyrics approach these principles through Hermetic philosophy. At CPHON, this bridge is refined with modern methods, while remaining true to the essence of the tradition.
