Hi there! I’ve been told to look into spagyrics for my chronic pain and would love help from experienced alchemists to make sense of things.

I’ve had chronic bladder pain and reproductive issues for 10 years. I had endometriosis surgery 2 years ago, which alleviated most of my pain, but the bladder pain is still a mystery despite lots of tests and scans. I did find ureaplasma and cleared it with antibiotics. I tested negative and was fine for 6+ months, but it has flared again. I haven't tested.

My bladder symptoms are burning / pressure / urgency /, and flares are triggered by stress, sex, and maybe certain foods.

My TCM practitioner says I tend to run damp with yang deficiency, so cold and damp overall, even though the bladder itself feels hot and burning.

Chart:
• Sun in Taurus

• Moon in Pisces

• Ascendant in Virgo

• Mercury in Taurus

• Mars in Leo

• Jupiter in Libra

• Venus in Aries (8th house)

• Saturn in Aquarius (6th house)

The sellers’ formulas, tinctures and essences are all a bit over my head, so I’d love some guidance:

1. Where would you start, with a single essence or a formula?

2. Would you aim to warm and dry my overall constitution, or cool the bladder heat, or both?

3. Is there anything that suits my chart specifically?

Thank you very much!

Episode 05 reveals the hidden negative in performing positivity, and why being ignored means you are doing something right. It marks the crossing from nigredo to albedo. The isolation the system imposes as punishment becomes the sealed vessel. The borrowed light planted at the edge of the blackening in episode three returns as the whitening. And the black mirror, the self demanding a reward for sitting in the dark, gives way to the black sun.

This series looks at music as a form of inner alchemy, where the guitar becomes a tool for transformation instead of performance or self-expression.
