WHAT ARE SPAGYRICS?

First developed by the 16th Century Swiss physician Paracelsus, spagyrism represents a form of homeopathy in which both vital healing energy and active substances are extracted from medicinal plants, creating powerful mother tinctures that can be further potentized. Derived from the Greek words pao (separate) and ageiro (unite), the term spagyric means to take something apart and then re-unite it.

Paracelsus pointed out that the vital energy of an herb is more important than the plant material itself. Spagyric remedies were originally created by putrefying parts of wild herbs, then distilling the material in a special device to produce concentrated, high alcohol (70-80%) aromatic solutions. The extracted bulk plant matter was dried and burned to an ash. Finally, this unpurified ash was recombined with the solution. As a result, the finished spagyric essence contained the mineral constituent parts of the plant.

This original method had some serious drawbacks. Modern yeasts were unavailable 500 years ago, and therefore the alchemists could not use today’s fermentation techniques. Instead, they were forced to distill the plant materials, which destroyed important ingredients such as alkaloids, vitamins and enzymes. Moreover, the old method simply combined untreated ash with the solution, which meant the final remedies often contained impurities.

WHAT MAKES PEKANA HOMEOPATHIC-SPAGYRIC MEDICATIONS UNIQUE FOR DETOXIFICATION, REGENERATION AND RESTORATION?

Modified through the ages, the spagyric process has been greatly refined by PEKANA founder and owner Dr. Peter Beyersdorff, who holds a doctorate in pharmacy. The modern manufacturing method developed by PEKANA is unique in the world today and results in homeopathic-spagyric medications of exceptional quality and efficacy. All remedies are produced at the company’s Kisslegg, Germany facility according to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) certification.

PEKANA homeopathic-spagyric medications capture the entire living essence of healing plants. Listed in the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia (HAB), the spagyric processing method developed by master pharmacist Dr. Beyersdorff produces medications with both powerful energetic and biochemical effects. The combinations of spagyrically processed herbs, synergistic minerals and homeopathic substances are peerless in their capacity to help the body eliminate toxins and restore proper physiological function.

The process starts by fermenting selected herbs into what is essentially a wine using special yeasts and sugar. Each herb produces its own unique alcohol and other fermentation products. Therefore, the resulting product is alive and composed of a complex blend of metabolic products compatible with the energy (qi) of the plant. In Chinese medicine terms, this step could be looked upon as developing the “yin” of the plant. It is completely different from adding alcohol to an herb to extract its components.

Next, the tincture is purified through a series of filtration steps, while the leftover plant residue is burned to an ash. This develops the most “yang” quality of the plant. The ash is placed in a filter tube within a water solution until clear, pure crystals form, indicating that a maximum amount of the minerals have been extracted.

In the last step, PEKANA re-unites the mineral filtrate with the tincture. This combination of the fully developed yin with the fully developed yang results in a complete product, the spagyric medicine. All the color and aroma of the remedy forms during this reunification process.
The spagyric medicine is then made into a homeopathic medicine by hand succussion. Hand succussion is extremely important in that it adds another element of focused human intent into the production process.
