Our passion at Advanced Alchemy is essences, particularly new types of essences, primarily derived from plants. These new types or what we prefer to call "families" of essences have different qualities and potentials as compared to the traditional flower essences, gem elixirs and homoeopathic remedies. We have spent much of our time over the last 13 years doing research on these new essences. Our research is vital and ongoing. We have been excited and amazed at these new essences, as have many practitioners and clients worldwide. Advanced Alchemy spend a lot of time thinking and talking about essences ....about where they fit in the greater picture of healing and how they enhance and interact with other branches of healing, such as nutrition and diet, Tai Chi and Yoga ... about which kind of essence is best to use in a given situation, and why. This exciting journey has taken us far beyond existing knowledge and understanding into a brave new world of discovery.
