🌿 PLANTS – Extraction by Phase

PhaseSolventExtracts Best1. AlcoholEthanol (usually 40–96°)- Alkaloids (e.g. berberine, harmala)
- Flavonoids (e.g. apigenin, quercetin)
- Essential oils
- Resins
- Tannins
- Glycosides
- Saponins (partially)2. WaterDecoction or infusion- Polysaccharides
- Mucilage (e.g. from marshmallow)
- Minerals (e.g. calcium, magnesium)
- Bitters (many are water-soluble)
- Vitamins (esp. B & C)3. Salt (Spagyric)Calcined plant residue- Fixed salts: Potassium carbonate, calcium compounds, trace minerals
- Adds a physical & energetic “body” to the extract

🍄 MUSHROOMS – Extraction by Phase

PhaseSolventExtracts Best1. AlcoholEthanol (80–96° ideally)- Terpenoids (e.g. triterpenes in Reishi, betulinic acid in Chaga)
- Sterols
- Some alkaloids
- Volatile oils (if present)
- Pigments2. WaterSimmering decoction- Polysaccharides (β-glucans, alpha-glucans)
- Proteins & amino acids
- Enzymes (if not denatured)
- Mannitol (esp. in Amanita)3. Salt (Spagyric)Calcined fruiting body- Fixed ash minerals like potassium, calcium, and trace metals
- Brings in the "earth" element and stabilizes the formula energetically
