The Practice

An old practice,kept by hand.

Spagyric is the old way of working a plant: take it apart, refine each part on its own, then bring it back together. The plants come from Maui farmers I know by name. The rest happens in my lab, in small batches.

From Farm to Jar

The same seven steps,in the same hands.

Nothing here is hidden, and nothing is rushed. Each jar passes through the same seven steps, from the field to the honey.

01

Sourced from the farm

Turmeric, Vana tulsi, and ginger, grown by Maui farmers I work with directly.

02

Washed by hand

Cleaned, sorted, and prepared at the outdoor wash stations.

03

Chopped and dried

Cut and dried slowly, to gather up the character of the plant.

04

Extracted

Worked in reactor vessels, with watched temperature, solvent, and time.

05

Distilled

The aromatic essence drawn off by heat and vapor, what an extract alone never reaches.

06

Refined to salts

What remains is calcined and refined into clean plant mineral salts.

07

Returned to honey

Extract, essence, and salts, brought back together in raw Hawaiian honey.

The Treehouse

Four spaces, one process.

Nothing is sent away. Every step happens here, across four dedicated spaces in Upcountry Maui.

Why a Daily Practice

Not forwhen you're sick.

It isn't a quick fix. Spagyric medicine is a slow process of breaking down and rebuilding, meant to work with the body over time. A spoonful each morning anchors the day.

Plainly Stated

Not a generic
herbal product.

Plain about what this is, and what it is not. No claims, only the work and the plants.

Not outsourced.

Made in my own Upcountry Maui lab, by my own hands, never sent off to a contract filler.

Nothing anonymous.

Farmer-direct turmeric, Vana tulsi, and ginger. I know the farms and the people who grow them.

Not a simple extract.

The whole plant, separated into its parts, each refined on its own, and then reunited in honey.

Never mass-produced.

Small batches only, so every step stays slow enough to stay accountable to a person.

The Maker

A botanist, sharingwhat he loves.

My goal is to connect people back to the plants, and the good things that grow all around us.

I am the only one who handles the plant, the honey, and the extraction. If the bottle says LoveTree, it passed through my hands.

It has become part of my morning. Knowing exactly where it comes from, and whose hands made it, changes how it feels to take.
