🍂 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!

As we’re rolling into cold & flu season, it’s a good time to think of how to take care of yourself and your loved ones when they get sick. Even though the whole family might catch the same bug, the way symptoms present can be different for each person, so you’ll want to use different herbs in those situations.

We wanted to share what our individual cold/flu care looks like. Since we have different constitutions, the herbs we use also differ. We thought this could be helpful to give you an idea of how to use herbs for immune support from a Vitalist perspective, whether you tend towards a damp/cold constitution or a hot/dry one.

Whitney: “In the autumn, I can tend toward damp, cold respiratory imbalances. Here’s what I do when nasal congestion and a phlegmy cough set in…

First, I’ll start a pot of chicken bone broth with plenty of fresh ginger on the stove. And I love doing herbal steams with aromatic, anti-inflammatory disinfectant herbs like Yarrow and Chamomile.

My go-to herbal allies here are Rainforest Lungs, Elecampane Spagyric Essence or Tincture, Propolis Tincture, and Sajah’s Elderberry Syrup (keep reading to get the recipe!).*

And if I feel a fever coming on, I’ll turn to Lemon Balm and Yarrow Spagyric Essences. (And Boneset Spagyric Tincture if I also get body aches.). I’ll brew some Peppermint & Elder flower tea, take a super hot bath, and get straight into bed.”

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:

Distilling spirits of plants is one of the steps we take to make a spagyric essence 🌿⚗️✨

In alchemy, the work is full of fractals and patterns. Each plant has the three principles of salt, mercury, and sulfur. But even as we're distilling the mercury (spirit) of the plant, within the distillation there's also a sulfur of mercury, a mercury of mercury, and the salt of mercury. The triune pattern reveals itself in all matter, in all of life.

In simple little moments like this distillation, something profound, meaningful and beautiful is occurring before us - the plant's spirit is being resurrected from the underworld journey of fermentation (making the plant wine) and is now reborn purified.

I love that there's meaning in everything we do in the lab and that we get to bear witness to such wonders every day ✨💫

What makes spagyrics more potent than other herbal preparations for supporting immunity?

1️⃣Minerals. The spagyric process we follow extracts minerals from plants. That makes spagyrics unique among herbal tinctures.

Minerals are essential for immune health. Minerals like Magnesium, Zinc, Copper, Selenium, and Iron optimize function in both the innate and adaptive immune systems, allowing you to keep infections at bay.*

Unfortunately, dietary mineral deficiencies are common and can affect your immune response. So spagyric immune tonics, with their mineral content, are especially valuable when the season changes.*

2️⃣ Absorption. Alcohol-based herbal products (aka tinctures) are taken under the tongue, where the mucous membrane is very thin and there are lots of blood vessels. The herbal constituents in the tincture are absorbed directly into the bloodstream, allowing them to get right to work.

Spagyric tinctures are particularly useful when taking acute-acting immune herbs like immune stimulants, antimicrobials, expectorants, and diaphoretics.* They work more quickly and effectively, even at lower doses.

Most people think of taking immune-supporting herbs when they’re acutely sick, but did you know there’s another category of immune herbs to help prevent you from getting sick in the first place? We created two distinctly different immune formulas to support your immune system from different angles:

1️⃣IMMUNE DEFENSE: Take this formula when you feel that ominous tickle in your throat and first realize you’re coming down with something.* 🤧

With Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea & E. angustifolia), Elderberry (Sambucus cerulea), and Yarrow (Achillea millefolium), Immune Defense is short-term support for those times when you’re already under the weather. This formula is crafted to activate your immune system and fight an active cold, flu, or fever.*

2️⃣IMMUNE RESTORE: Take this formula when you may be feeling worn down or depleted, and want to strengthen your body’s core immunity so you don’t get whatever’s going around.

With Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceous), Oregon Reishi (Ganoderma oregonensis), and Eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus), Immune Restore is the long-term support you need to build immune resilience. This formula is crafted with adaptogenic herbs to improve your whole-body response to stress.*

Stock up on spagyrics now to start building immune resilience, so you’re ready for cold & flu season.

We started our business in a corner of the yurt that was our home back in 2010. We'd be calcining herbs in our wood stove, grinding salts on a little antique milking stool in front of the fire.

When we eventually outgrew our little pie slice of the yurt, we were able to buy another yurt (Heron Botanical's old yurt!) just for our spagyrics which really felt luxurious to have a lab space just for our work.

We eventually outgrew that little yurt and renovated a shop on our land and turned it into a pretty nice little lab which is what we work out of today.

But these days we're bursting at the seams and have outgrown our lab again. We never thought this little business would grow the way it has and we're excited for the next chapter opening for us. We'll be starting construction on a larger lab on our new farm this month!

Thank you for all your support! We're honored to serve our community and be part of keeping the alchemical tradition alive with making and sharing spagyrics these past 15 yrs. ✨🔥💫🌿🙏🏼

Can you guess how many individual herbs are in our apothecary?

Step inside and you’ll see tidy rows of herb-filled jars lining our shelves. From Agrimony (Agrimonia eupatoria) to Yerba Santa (Eriodictyon californicum), we make spagyrics from a lot of different plants. Whether they’re cultivated here on our farm, sourced from our local community of trusted growers & wildcrafters, or harvested on a weekend outdoors with the family, we know that starting with high-quality herbs is the secret to creating potent spagyrics.

From our extensive plant line-up, we’ve created spagyric tinctures and essences to support you during the transition into autumn.

Our Autumn collection drops today, and in it you’ll find:

🍄Immune-supporting mushrooms, like Oregon Reishi, Chaga, and Artist’s Conk

🫁Respiratory supporting herbs and blends, like Mullein and Rainforest Lungs

💪Revitalizing adaptogens, like Schisandra, Rhodiola, and our Adaptation Spagyric Formula

These and many other autumn spagyrics are 10% off now through the end of November (Shop the Autumn Collection!).

👇COMMENT BELOW 👇 with your guess of how many individual herbs we have in our apothecary. We’ll share whose guess is closest!

It's been a long time coming, but we're excited to share we're back! We built a new lab for making our spagyrics on our farm (where we’re also expanding our herbal gardens this year for our spagyrics.) We're finally moved in to our apothecary and are soooo happy making medicine this beautiful custom built lab.

We've also re-branded & re-named ourselves Natura Sophia Spagyrics (formerly Organic Unity) and have a brand new website to share as well! Tap the link in our bio to check out all of the potent herbal remedies we have to share with you.

Thank you so much for all of your support! We're looking forward to serving you and sharing our spagyrics with you.

💚 Whitney & Sajah
