Herbal Preparation
Techniques

Capturing the full spectrum of chemistry, nutrition and vital energy from our rainforest botanicals requires a special herbal preparation technique. We use a 19th century method of “plant alchemy” known today as spagyric (spa-jeer-ric) processing. This high-quality technique sets Amazon Herb formulas apart from other herbal products.

Briefly, this is how the spagyric technique works:

• The raw plant material is soaked in water and alcohol, the two best solvents known. These natural solvents dissolve the compound into a solution that extracts otherwise insoluble elements.
  
• Next, the solution is put under heavy pressure in a 100,000-pound press. This separates the liquid from the “mark” -- the material left in the press.
  
• In other processes the “mark” is discarded. But we know this cellulose fiber contains a wealth of phyto-nutrients. We save the “mark” and reduce it to mineral ash, retaining all of its valuable components.
  
• We then re-combine the mineral ash with the “mother” solution.

By using this rare and superior process, no part of the plant is wasted. No essence of the plant is lost. The finished formula retains the plant’s original constitution, but with much more strength, absorbability and healing potential than a raw plant.

Without doubt, the spagyric technique provides the finest quality and the best results. We guarantee you’ll feel the difference!
