Welcome to the Forest
I'm Joshua Cowan π§ββοΈ the Alchemist behind the Quintessence range of plant extracts.
Blending ancient alchemical tradition and modern innovation to share nature's magic with you.β
βThe Quintessence Difference is Wholeness
βA standard tincture discards the vital Mineral Salts.. an essential oil captures only the volatile light aromatics, leaving the heavier compounds behind.
βI take a different approach, the modern Alchemists Path, the middle way.
βUsing low-temperature Ultrasonic extraction, I liberate the full spectrum of phytochemicals without damaging them.
Then, through high-temperature calcination, I incinerate the leftover plant material in the furnace to free the purified alkaline Mineral Salts from their carbon bonds.
βFinally, I reunite them all: the volatile essential oils, heavier resins, and the crystalline salts.
βQuintessence preserves the living soul of the plant, complete, fully embodied, energetically active and bio-available.
If you wish to learn more about any of the plant essences that I offer, the internet is a wealth of information for those who seek the wisdom of the plant kingdom.
