Dreading cold and flu season?

When you’re constantly stressed or run down, your CORE VITALITY is low. And that leaves you vulnerable to every pathogen that crosses your path.

Herbalists suggest you restore your vitality with ADAPTOGENS. These herbs work on your nervous, endocrine, and immune systems to support your ability to cope with daily stressors.*

Our Adaptation Spagyric Formula is designed to:

🌿Support a healthy stress response*

🌿Maintain immune health*

🌿Build core vitality*

It features adaptogenic herbs like:

ASHWAGANDHA (Withania somnifera) root

If tension keeps you up at night and dragging during the day, Ashwagandha soothes and relaxes, while supporting immunity.*

RHODIOLA (Rhodiola rosea) root

If your mood is low and you catch every cold, Rhodiola can help uplift your spirits and support a healthy stress response.*

ELEUTHERO (Eleutherococcus senticosus) root

If you find it hard to concentrate due to stress and fatigue, Eleuthero can help act as a strengthening tonic.*

LICORICE (Glycyrrhiza glabra) root

If you feel stress in your gut, Licorice offers support to both your digestive and immune systems.*

SCHISANDRA (Schisandra chinensis) berry

If wheezing, coughing, or shortness of breath trouble you, Schisandra helps the respiratory system.*

HOLY BASIL (Ocimum sanctum) leaf

If day-to-day life feels overwhelming, Holy Basil helps protect you from the effects of physical, mental, and emotional stress.*

OREGON REISHI (Ganoderma oregonense) fruiting body

For overall stress support, Reishi helps relax the nervous system while supporting liver and immune health.*

With adaptogens, it’s important to start them before you actually come down with a cold. Try taking them 3 times a day for a minimum of 6 weeks to get the full benefits, but this formula can be taken long-term for deep restoration.

Stock up on our Adaptation Spagyric Formula now to get ahead of cold and flu season. https://naturasophiaspagyrics.com/products/adaptation?_pos=2&_sid=f70a3c311&_ss=r&variant=41832862679232

♏5 Herbs Influencing Scorpio ♏

Scorpio season, from now to November 20, carries us from Libra’s balancing, outward focus into the deep inner waters of the self.

Scorpio’s nature is damp, but it gets hidden heat from its Mars rulership. Since it correlates with purification and detoxification, common Scorpio health challenges include digestive troubles, sluggish channels of elimination and toxin accumulation, reproductive issues, and damp/heat patterns.*

🌿BOTANICAL CORRESPONDENCES ♏

Herbs associated with Scorpio often have Mars traits: thorns, spines, stings, and bold red or orange colors. These herbs are often bitter (drains stagnant water element), pungent (warms/purges via Mars), or astringent (tones tissues via fixed mode).

Work with Scorpio-related herbs if you’ve been feeling:

👉 worn down by fatigue…

🌿DEVIL’S CLUB (Oplopanax horridus): this spiny Mars plant helps build core vitality, clear stagnation, and guide you through psychological transformation.*

👉male reproductive challenges…

🌿 NETTLE ROOT (Urtica dioica): helps tone the prostate and clear stagnation of the lower urinary tract.*

👉loose bowels or irritated gut…

🌿 BLACKBERRY ROOT (Rubus spp.): helps astringe and strengthen the bowel tissues, restoring boundaries and letting water flow only where it belongs.*

👉digestive sluggishness…

🌿 OREGON GRAPE ROOT (Mahonia aquifolium): acts as a potent bitter and alterative, helping cleanse the liver, blood, and lymph while keeping infections at bay.*

👉low vitality…

🌿 PINE POLLEN (Pinus spp.): helps boost testosterone, energy, and resilience, restoring Mars’ strength.*

🌿✨ Where does the word “Alchemy” come from? ✨🌿

This story spans centuries and continents…

Ancient Egypt

The ruling priesthood studied the “Neteru,” nature’s forces. They explored health, metals, ceramics, fermentation, and the making of sacred oils and potions.

Alexander the Great (~300 BCE)

Captivated by Egypt’s “Secret Science,” he carried its wisdom back to Greece. At that time, the Greeks called Egypt “Khemet” (translated as “the black land,” named after the Nile’s fertile soil). And from this came “Khemia” (or “the black arts.”)

The Library of Alexandria

A global hub where Egyptian philosophies flourished and the Hermetic philosophy was codified… until fire under Roman rule destroyed much of the collection.

The Arabic Scholars

Guardians of Hermetic knowledge, they preserved and expanded its teachings. With their language, the prefix “Al” was added to Khemia.

✨ And so Al-Khemia became the word we know today: ALCHEMY.

It’s a word born from Egypt’s fertile earth, nearly lost to flames, and kept alive by seekers across cultures.

🍂 Fall is the season when herbalists harvest roots!

As perennials draw their life force downward at the end of the growing season, potent plant constituents are concentrated in the roots. After the first frost but before the ground freezes is the perfect time to dig them up.

Roots from herbs like Comfrey (Symphytum officinale), Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea), Elecampane (Inula helenium), Marshmallow (Althaea officinalis), Yellow Dock (Rumex crispus), and Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) are harvested in autumn.

While you harvest roots, you can also divide and replant perennial crowns. This way, you’re expanding your garden while gathering herbs to keep you well. 🌱

🌿 Burdock (Arctium lappa) is one of our favorite herbs, though it can be a bit of work to harvest as the tap roots can run deep into the soil. Traditionally valued as a blood purifier, liver supporter, and gentle detoxifying alterative, Burdock root deeply nourishes while clearing stagnant waste.*

✨ Tips for harvesting Burdock root:

🌿 Best dug in the first year of growth, when roots are more potent, dense, and tender.

🌿Loosen soil, then dig with a digging fork or digging rod (for very deep taproots).

🌿When fresh, roots are easiest to clean and chop.

🌿Dry at 100–110°F for 4–6 days after slicing in rounds.

🍂We craft Burdock Spagyric Tincture with Burdock roots from our friends Elise & Jeff from Oshala Farm Oshala Farm in Williams, Oregon. To give it a try, visit our website!

Hi all, Sajah here. Just in time for fall, I’ve got a new class on Spagyrics for immunity, which I’m sharing with our community right now.

In this free video, “The Alchemist’s Guide to Spagyrics for Immunity,” you’ll learn how herbal spagyrics:

🌿Deeply nourish the immune system by providing vital minerals captured by the spagyric process.*

🌿Allow acute immune herbs to absorb quickly through the mucosa, rendering them more potent and effective, even at lower doses.*

We’ll also dig into an Alchemical perspective on immunity, including:

☀️The Core Immune System (Sun + Vital Force) and how to support immune strength with tonics + amphoterics.

🔥The Direct Immune Response (Fire + Mars) and how to use acute formulas that stimulate defense.

💨 And Organ-Specific Response (Air + Mercury) with a brief Materia Medica for the respiratory system.

In addition to this timely new video, we have 2 downloadable cards for my favorite Elderberry syrup recipes (1 for immune maintenance, 1 for immune rescue), so you can bring these teachings directly into practice.

To learn more, check out our new video, “The Alchemist’s Guide to Spagyrics for Immunity.” Plus, you’ll have the chance to download two of our family’s elderberry syrup recipes that are perfect for this time of year:

It’s time for our annual Elderberry harvest! We planted a hedgerow of our native Blue Elder (Sambucus cerulea) here on our farm. We gather the berries each fall to make our spagyrics, but we also put up a batch of syrup to keep our family well through the winter.

Elderberries grow in abundance in many areas, so you may have an opportunity to wild harvest your own. We’ve always worked with our local native species, but there are several other medicinal Elderberry species, such as Sambucus nigra and Sambucus canadensis, that you can find throughout North America and Europe. Here are some tips we’ve learned over the years gathering our local Blue Elderberries:

Blue Elder is native to Western North America. It’s a tall shrub (2–8 m) with gray-brown furrowed bark, soft pithy young stems, and large opposite leaves made up of 5–9 serrated leaflets. In summer, look for flat clusters of creamy flowers, followed by powdery blue berries in early autumn. It thrives along sunny streambanks, fencelines, and moist forest edges from sea level to 10,000 feet in elevation.

Elderberry syrup is a classic herbal preparation to make in early autumn, since it helps you stay well through the changing seasons. Over the years, Sajah has developed two Elderberry syrup recipes that we return to annually:

1️⃣ACUTE ELDERBERRY SYRUP comes to the rescue when you feel yourself coming down with something. With Echinacea, Wild Cherry bark, and Ginger, it supports immune response while warming your body and supporting a cough with expectorant and antitussive herbs.

2️⃣IMMUNE STRENGTHENING ELDERBERRY SYRUP is perfect to take during seasonal shifts to build your resilience. With Rose hips, Goji berries, and Schisandra berries, this syrup nourishes your immune system.

All respiratory imbalances are not equal: some are damp and phlegmy, while others are dry and spasmodic. This is a perfect example of what Western herbalists call the TISSUE STATES.

💦DAMP RESPIRATORY ISSUES feel heavy, thick, and rattly since they’re full of mucus. Runny noses and wet, “productive” coughs fall into this category. Often, damp imbalances show up during a short-term respiratory bug.

🌵DRY RESPIRATORY ISSUES, on the other hand, feel harsh, tickly, and spastic. Hacking coughs and scratchy, sore throats are signs of dry imbalances. These issues can linger longer, driven by irritation rather than congestion.

Because these respiratory imbalances come from different tissue states, they need different herbs:

🌿 For damp, phlegmy respiratory issues: try aromatic herbs that warm, move, and help clear and expectorate, like those in our Rainforest Lungs Spagyric Formula, including Lomatium root (Lomatium dissectum), Osha root (Ligusticum grayii), Balsam Poplar (Populus trichocarpa), and Elecampane root (Inula helenium).

🌿 For dry, irritated respiratory issues: soothing, moistening, and antispasmodic herbs like those in Desert Lungs Spagyric Formula, including Wild Cherry bark (Prunus serotina), Mullein leaf (Verbascum thapsus), Pleurisy root (Asclepias tuberosa), and Plantain leaf (Plantago major).

With its sticky burrs that cling to your clothes (or in my sheep’s wool!), you might regard Burdock as just another w**d on the roadside. But this humble plant has a long history of use by people around the world. In Japan, it’s cultivated as a vegetable (gobo), while in Western herbalism, it’s valued for its cleansing and building properties.

Burdock root is an all-purpose ALTERATIVE…meaning it opens the body’s channels of elimination. By supporting the detox of metabolic wastes like uric acid, burdock helps cool internal heat. This is helpful if you’re prone to skin eruptions, joint stiffness, or sluggish digestion.

Burdock is also deeply NUTRITIVE. It contains inulin, a prebiotic that feeds healthy gut flora, and potassium and magnesium, minerals that are vital for energy, fluid balance, and tissue repair. This is helpful if you’re prone to digestive issues or fatigue, or are recovering from long-term illness.*

Our Burdock Spagyric Tincture is made from organic roots we source from Oshala Farm in Applegate Valley, Oregon. And since the traditional Alchemical spagyric methods we use extract the plant’s mineral content, you’ll get the full benefits of Burdock’s potassium and magnesium.
