The production method of ALCAHEST elixirs and quintessences from herbs and spices is based on a timeless understanding of nature, the powers of the 3 principles (tria principia - sulphur, mercury, salt or fire, wind and earth) and the 5 elements (earth, water, fire, air, ether). The natural philosophical view of ALCAHEST elixirs is based on the natural sequence of element genesis and the main connections of the natural forces in the forms of expression.
