The essences contain only the active volatile principles of the plants, for what they always get ready for distillation only. Here the knowledge of the Secret of the Volatilization of the Salt has the utmost importance, since it without it is impossible to compound a spagyrical essence. For this reason should not be extraneous that we use balms of Copaiba or from Canada like assistants in this process, since we are not going to extract the essential oil for distillation for haulage of vapor, but for alcoholic menstrums.

All spagyrist knows the importance of the oleaginous vehicles in order to the Salt Volatilization. The chemists know the action of the Succínic acid like excellent catalyst, as well as of the peculiar characteristic of the terpenes and relative compounds to the resins for the functions of organic catalysis.

The alchemists have always known the action of the organic acids contents in the Fixed Sulfurs (the other part of the Soul), and that here is good part of the secret for volatilization of the Salt.

The spagyrical essences are of a more spiritual nature that the tinctures and the extracts. Their subtle nature confers them a power from greater penetration and a considerable increase of their medicinal power, for what so much their elaboration like their employment should be extremely careful and delicate.

Here we found another point of divergence between the chemistry and the alchemy.

While the chemistry gives priority to the number of compounds that one could extract of the plant exhaustively, at less than that you have already identified and selected previous the "target" compound; the alchemy considers the preference of the volatile and subtle over the most corporal or material.

The chemist thinks of the power related to the amount. The alchemist knows that the vibratory energy of a molecule is those that they confer their therapeutic power and that their mechanism of action not necessarily is carried out for the well-known biochemical pathways, but rather most of the times their action is impossible to count, weigh or measure. .but their effects are evident.

It is something as well as the surgeon that knows about the existence of the air in the viscera that is opening. but neither could see, neither could cut. However perceive their presence.

The essences are subtle. Powerful.

For the preparation of a tincture that will be used as base to the essence, should use alcohol of grape only. I in this case don't recommend substitute the Spiritus vini for alcohol coming from the agaves, of mezcales or of sotoles (all of them Mexican plants), like in the case of the simple tinctures.

The plant or their parts should wash carefully with water of rain, and leave them soaking during a minimum of 12 hours, of preference from the setting of the sun until the dawn, and if is with full moon, better. This has their reason of being. The cells of the plant will put on in turgency for its hydratation and they will provide better of the adsorbed volatile compounds. The full moon has influence on the liquids, is well-known the cause of the tides.

If you live in an environment with high levels of contamination, don't take out the recipient of soak outside of your laboratory. If you live in clean places of pollutant, the best is that you put the soak to the light of the moon.

At the end of this operation, remove the excess of water carefully and add 10 times the weight of the plant in volume of ethylic alcohol from wine W/V (100 g of plant with 1000 ml of alcohol from wine).

Closing tightly the flask and put it to digest 40 days to 40o C.

Trasvase the tincture with all and vegetables parts to a glass alembic and distill smoothly in Mary’s bath until pick up 250 ml of distilled.

Cohobe three times more, and to the fourth pick up all distilled leaving a residual of liquid in the cucurbit so that the vegetable part doesn't burn.

Pick up the vegetables parts of the cucurbit and calcine in order to obtain ashy and later on the canonical Salt that will stay well in flask amber.

The distilled is added with 1/ 10 W/ V of balm of copaiba obtained of Copaiba balsamea, or resin of cypress, or balm from Canada (Abies balsamea) (90 g of resin with 900 ml of distilled), and shake it well with a bar of glass until total incorporation and pour it in a small retort, which puts on in bath of sand and distill 2/ 3 parts of the volume, cohobating three times.

After the third cohobation add the Salt and distill cohobating three times until observes the formation of the crystals of Volatilized Salt in the pick of the retort. Distill until remain a liquid with consistency of honey in the retort.

The Salt is dragged for the distilled Spirit.

Pass the distilled with the Volatilized Salt to a pelican and circulate for 40 days to40^oC Shake periodically in circular form twice a day.

Filter on cotton and reserve the essence in flask amber very well covered.

These are the subtlest of all the essences. In their making and act the biochemistry still stay shorter. It is more, one is not able to neither try to explain their action from the chemical point of view. This is pure alchemy. Extreme subtlety.

The flowers are selected in order to process in a clear morning when the sun is not still in the zenith, this is around the 8 of the morning.

With great neatness in order to work and without touching the flowers with the hands, they are cut with some very sharp scissors leaving alone an inch of shaft. They are picked up with a spray of preference of the same plant and they are deposited in a tray with water of rain.

Leaves in the sun direct for three hours and they then retire the flowers without touching the water with the hand. You filter with much care on cotton and they are added 5 ml of Spíritus vini rectificatus for each 50 ml of floral water. Put it in topaz color flasks. The vibratory energy of this essence is tremendous. The dose is five drops under the tongue three times to the day.

The therapeutic use of the floral essences is focused to the harmonization of the body, the soul and the spirit. They are special in order to try mental and emotional problems.
