Tincture of the Sun & Moon
A combination of Oils of Gold and Fixed Antimony. This is a true Hermetic marriage of Our Sun (gold) and Our Luna (antimony). Antimony was known to the alchemists of old as the Triumphal Chariot, mainly because as it was considered a carrier of any other planetary medicine it was mixed with. Fixed antimony is traditionally applied in acute cases, expelling through sweat. Therefore it was traditionally taken on occasion in small doses.

In Hermetic practice it is traditionally taken one drop per day with wine, or added to any drink (water, tea etc.). A 5ml bottle contains 30-60 drops, or 1-2 months dosage, depending on dropper size.
It should be stated for those who are unaware of alchemical methods that the "tinct" (soul/colour or profile of the metal) is extracted, but the metal itself is left behind. As such, there is no actual metal present in this spagyric, only the medicinal part of the metal is separated and catalysed into an oil.
Ingredients: Catalysed oil of gold in organic carrier spirit, catalysed fixed oil of antimony.
