Mistletoe, ginger, ginkgo and lavender: four plants from three continents
Espara Weather-Feel Good Alchemical Essence combines distillates of mistletoe, ginger, ginkgo and lavender, produced using a method that goes back to Paracelsus. 30 ml in dropper form, vegan, gluten-free and lactose-free.
This blend brings together plants that could hardly be more different. Mistletoe grows as an evergreen hemiparasite high up in European tree crowns. Ginger comes from tropical Asia, and ginkgo is a living fossil from China. Lavender, at home on the sunny slopes of the Mediterranean, completes the blend.
The four plants are combined with yeast and water, fermented and distilled in several steps. Each plant is processed separately and only brought together into the finished essence at the end. 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. Wetter-Wohl ("weather-feel good") is the name Espara has given to this blend from Europe and Asia.

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.

💬 Frequently asked questions
-
How do I take the Weather-Feel Good 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 Weather-Feel Good essence taste like?+Spicy and warm from the ginger, with a floral note of lavender and the warmth of the alcohol. If you prefer it milder, add the drops to a glass of water.
-
Can I combine the essence with other supplements?+As a rule, yes. As a herbal base from the Espara range, Espara Planta Vida Elixir is a popular choice, and Espara Ginkgo 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.
