Is there alcohol in the elixirs?
Yes, our elixirs contain the highest lab-grade distiled organic sugarcane spirit, used as part of an ancient alchemical process. The spirit acts as a carrier, transferring the plant's cellular wisdom into your body. By the time the extraction is complete, it’s no longer just alcohol—it becomes the concentrated essence of the plant, often distilled multiple times to remove any harmful substances, heavy metals & toxins. The alcohol content is about 0.1% to 0.2%, similar to kombucha or lemon lime bitters, making it safe for most people.
However, if you’re sensitive to alcohol or recovering from alcoholism, we recommend treating our elixirs like you would kombucha or other low-alcohol beverages.
Can I take these elixirs with medication?
No we do not recommend to take them in combination with any pharmaceutical medicines as they can have adverse reactions and contraindicate. They can however be helpful if you wish to follow a more natural healing path.
Always consult with your healthcare provider if you have concerns about potential interactions.
Can I drive after using the elixirs?
You can safely drive after consuming our elixirs when they’re diluted, like in tea or smoothies. However, we advise against taking straight herbs under the tongue before driving, as our elixirs contain very low alcohol content, similar to kombucha. We always advise to practice common caution when driving, and if you dont feel safe to drive please make an informed choice.
Are these products safe for pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Our elixirs are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, some women may choose to dilute the elixirs significantly. We encourage mothers to deeply connect with themselves and their intuition before making a decision, as they are responsible for their child's well-being.
How do I know if the elixirs are working?
Before taking an elixir, take a moment to check in with yourself—notice how you're feeling. After using the elixir, compare your state of being. Our elixirs are natural and subtle; they won’t feel like intense synthetic drugs. If you don't notice an effect, try adjusting the dose until you find the right balance. Some people need to work closely with the plant medicine before fully feeling its benefits. We recommend to use your intuition for dosage, and embark on a 21 day embodiment journey for deeper integration. We have found that some people notice long term positive changes in their lives, and others feel more directly n the moment based on sensitivity levels.
Can I mix different elixirs together?
Yes! Get creative and design your own custom blends based on how you want to feel. Most plants work synergistically together, but we advise against mixing euphoric herbs (like Blue Lotus) with strong stimulants (like those found in Breathe or Guayusa) as it can dilute their effects. Try experimenting with combinations and see how they work for you.
How are your elixirs different from other herbal products?
We use Spagyric Alchemy, an ancient Egyptian method, to craft our elixirs. This process involves purifying the plant and extracting its body, spirit, and soul, making our tonics more potent and energetically aligned than regular tinctures, capsules and powders that still contain many impurities and heavy metals. Our blends are made in small batches using 100% organic, non irradiated botanicals. We don’t mass produce or export; we focus on creating these sacred elixirs for the Australian community.
Are your products sustainably sourced?
Yes! We work with biodynamic organic farmers and Indigenous suppliers who ethically harvest the plants across Australia. We also give back in many ways to Indigenous communities and traditional land management initiatives, supporting a sustainable future for community to grow more botanicals. Because were not mass produced, we only take what we need and follow the seasonal cycles of production.
Can I consume these if I’m sensitive to energy?
We always recommend to attune yourself to your own dosage and if you are sensitive, to begin with a micro dose firstt. People who are sensitive to energy often feel the effects of our elixirs very strongly, as they carry the energetic imprint of the plants. Our Spagyric Alchemy 7 stage process ensures that the plants’ body, spirit, and soul are separated, purified and reunited allowing you to fully experience their transformative power in a pure, integrated way.
Do they perish?
All of our elixirs have a shelf life of approximately 3 years, our Australian botanical range of spagyrics do not perish, they only get stronger as time passes. We contain them in MIRON bio-photonic black glass which preserves them & captures them as a magical moment in time, as the Egyptians also did. When you work with them you are harnessing the energy & significance of the time & the sky they were made under, and the correlating alignments of the planets.Â
