The spagyric process, how to use it, where the plants come from, and how to keep it in your routine.
About the Product
What is a spagyric preparation?
A spagyric is a whole-plant alchemical extraction process that separates, refines, and reunites three distinct aspects of a plant: its botanical extract, its aromatic essence, and its purified mineral salts. The word comes from Greek roots meaning to separate and to reunite. It is one of the oldest systematic approaches to working with plant material, and it is the process behind our Turmeric, Tulsi & Ginger Maui Honey Spagyric.
What makes it different from a tincture?
A tincture is a single-step alcohol extraction of plant material. A spagyric goes further: the plant is separated into its botanical, aromatic, and mineral aspects, each refined on its own terms, and then reunited into a single whole-plant preparation. The mineral salts alone require calcination, a process that involves reducing the spent plant material to ash through controlled fire. A tincture does not include this step. The result is a more complete representation of the plant than a standard extract or tincture can offer.
What is in it?
Turmeric, Vana tulsi, and ginger, sourced from Maui farmers, processed through extraction, distillation (which yields the aromatic essence of Vana tulsi), and calcination (which refines the remaining plant material into purified mineral salts), then carefully united with raw Hawaiian honey.
Is this a supplement or a food product?
We describe it as a botanical honey preparation made through a traditional whole-plant spagyric process. It is intended for regular use as a daily plant ritual. We do not make disease or treatment claims. It is not classified as a dietary supplement; it is a botanical honey preparation crafted for daily use.
Does it contain alcohol?
No. The preparation process uses food-grade alcohol as a solvent during extraction. All alcohol is fully removed before the product is finished. The final preparation is honey-based. If you have specific questions about the process, reach out directly.
How does it taste?
Warm, earthy, aromatic, and gently spiced. Turmeric and ginger are the dominant notes, with the floral quality of Vana tulsi in the background. It is not sweet in the way most honey products are; it is more complex and botanical.
How to Use
How do I take it?
Enjoy directly by spoon, stirred into warm water or tea, blended into milk, added to coffee, drizzled over food, or used as a daily golden honey ritual. For best flavor and quality, add to warm, not boiling, liquids.
How much should I take?
Suggested serving: 1/2 tsp daily. 1/2 tsp is approximately 2 to 2.5 mL, depending on product thickness.
Can I mix it into tea or coffee?
Yes. Stir into warm, not boiling, water, tea, milk, or coffee. Avoid adding to boiling-hot liquids to preserve the character of the preparation.
How long does one jar last?
At 1/2 tsp daily: the 1 oz syringe lasts approximately 12 days, the 2 oz jar lasts approximately 24 days, and the 8 oz jar lasts approximately 3 months. The 8 oz jar is the best value for daily ritual use, and the most practical size for a subscription.
What size should I buy first?
If you are new to LoveTree Alchemy, the 2 oz jar is a good starting point, enough to establish a daily practice and experience the preparation over several weeks. The 1 oz syringe is ideal if you want to try it first. The 8 oz jar is the best value for ongoing daily use and is the size we recommend for subscribers.
How should I store it?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration is not required but can extend shelf life. The honey base is naturally stable.
Sourcing and Production
Where are the plants grown?
Turmeric, ginger, and Vana tulsi are sourced through direct relationships with Maui farmers. The raw Hawaiian honey comes from Wao Kele Honey on the Big Island. We stay involved from harvest through the finished jar and can vouch for the source material we use.
Where is it made?
In our extraction and distillation lab in Upcountry Maui, Hawaii. Ray Lovetree leads the work, supported by local farmers, family, and a small production team.
What makes LoveTree Alchemy different?
This is not a generic herbal product or outsourced supplement. Each batch is made directly by the maker using farmer-direct Maui botanicals, controlled extraction methods, careful filtration, and a honey-based finish. We show the farms, the farmers, the lab, and the process, because transparency is part of what we make.
How big are the batches?
Small. We do not produce at an industrial scale. Each batch is made with close attention to every step of the process. That is how we maintain the quality and accountability a botanical preparation deserves.
Sizes, Ordering & Subscriptions
What sizes are available?
Three sizes: 1 oz syringe, 2 oz jar, and 8 oz jar.
What is the syringe format for?
The 1 oz syringe is designed for precise, easy daily use. It lets you dispense a consistent amount without mess or waste.
Why subscribe?
These plants work best when they become part of your daily routine. A consistent practice with turmeric, Vana tulsi, and ginger allows the botanicals to integrate into your body gradually, building support over time in a way that a single jar cannot. Subscribing keeps your ritual uninterrupted, saves you 10% on every order, and keeps you connected to each small batch as it comes out of our Upcountry Maui lab. You can skip, pause, or cancel anytime.
Can I subscribe?
Yes. You can subscribe and save 10%. Frequency options may vary by size, and you can pause, skip, or cancel through your customer account.
Do you ship outside of Hawaii?
Yes, we ship anywhere within the United States.
