Sustainable Transmutations Plant Alchemy
from Inner Work Guide's Alchemical Gnosis Yoga of the West · host Inner Work Guide
In its simplest form, making a liquid herbal product using plant alchemy is similar to creating any ordinary herbal extract. The herb is macerated in an alcohol/water mixture for several days to extract the plant's healing virtues, just like any herbalist would do. Once this is done, however, the herbal material is dried and then heated until it combusts, turning first into carbon and then into ash, much the same way one would witness a piece of wood being burned in a campfire.
