Question about item
The little flower that blooms in the lawn almost all year round
Espara Daisy Alchemical Essence is a distillate made from 100% daisy, produced using a method that goes back to physician and alchemist Paracelsus. 30 ml in dropper form, vegan, gluten-free and lactose-free.
Few plants are known as early in life as the daisy: almost everyone made daisy chains as a child. It flowers from February into November, even on mild winter days. In the evening and when it rains it closes its flower heads and only opens them again when the sun shines. Its botanical name Bellis perennis roughly means "the everlasting beauty".
Daisies are combined with yeast and water, fermented and distilled in several steps. The method comes from alchemy, which Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, known as Paracelsus, understood in the 16th century as a way of preparing plants. Gold-making was never his concern.
Paracelsus lived for a time in Salzburg and died there in 1541. Espara is also based in Salzburg and follows his principles with its alchemical essences. If you have only known the daisy from the lawn, here you meet it in the tradition of European plant alchemy.

What are alchemical essences in the tradition of Paracelsus?
Paracelsus (1493–1541) understood alchemy not as gold-making, but as a method of preparing plants. His idea: a plant has, in his words, a body, a spirit and a soul. These three components are separated during preparation, processed individually, and then brought back together. The result is an aromatic, alcohol-based liquid.
From fermentation and distillation to the right way to take them: our guide explains the Paracelsus method step by step.
Read the guide →Why does the daisy close its flowers in the evening?
The flower heads react to light and temperature. When it gets dark or cool, the white ray florets fold over the yellow centre and protect it from dew and rain. That is where the English name comes from: "day's eye". A 30-ml bottle lasts roughly 17 days at two doses a day; traditionally a course of 3 to 6 weeks is recommended.

💬 Frequently asked questions
-
How do I take the Daisy essence?+15 drops twice a day before meals, either directly under the tongue or with a little water. The alchemical tradition recommends avoiding a metal spoon; glass, ceramic or wood is the customary choice. If you prefer spraying to dropping, there is the Espara throat spray for alchemical essences.
-
How long can I take the essence?+Alchemical essences are traditionally taken as a course of about 6 weeks, with a minimum of 3 weeks. For longer-term use, or if you have an existing condition or take ongoing medication, please consult your doctor.
-
The essence contains alcohol. Who should avoid it?+The essence has 16% vol alcohol, produced during fermentation and distillation. It is therefore not suitable for children, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or anyone who needs to avoid alcohol. People with a history of alcohol dependency should also avoid it, as even small amounts can trigger relapse.
-
What does the daisy essence taste like?+Mild and slightly herbal, with the warmth of the alcohol. If you prefer it even milder, add the drops to a glass of water.
-
Can I combine the essence with other supplements?+As a rule, yes. From the Espara range, Espara Planta Vida Elixir is a popular choice, and Espara Oats-Melissa Essence as a second essence.
-
Who was Paracelsus, and why does he matter for this essence?+Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, known as Paracelsus (1493–1541), was a physician, alchemist and natural philosopher. He lived for a time in Salzburg and died there in 1541. For him, body, spirit and soul formed a whole. The alchemical tradition this essence draws on follows his inherited principles.
