Is Spagyric Method of making Herbal medicines more powerful than making Tinctures with alcohol?

Is it true that 1 Drop of xyz herb extract made by Spagyric method is 3-5 times more powerful than Tinctures?

Hi chuski, I only know of that Spagyric method because I saw it mentioned somewhere else here on the forum, and it looks like Doc chimed in on it too!

Spagyric Method (or Spagyric Tinctures)

Here’s what Doc had to say

There is a lot of needless complication of herbal medicine making. Spagyric Tinctures are a prime example. They macerate for 40 days or so. Then dry strain it and dry and burn the leftover herbs and then add the ash to the tincture and macerate another 40 days.

Minerals are good for you, no doubt. But if you want plant minerals in your diet, eat plants. Secondly, macerating for 40 days to get the minerals back into the tincture is silly. Anything alcohol soluble has already been dissolved. Anything not alcohol soluble will never be dissolved. It’ll just settle to the bottom of the bottle. So, you could shake the bottle and get those minerals I guess but macerating for another month and a half is absurd.

If one wants plant minerals or vitamins, eat the plants or put the dry plants in your morning smoothie. Some vitamins and minerals will extract well with tincturing. Many won’t Tincturing isn’t the tool for dietary requirements.
