Alchemy System by Joel Aleixo
The Joel Aleixo System is a natural treatment method that aims at integral health, that is, the health of the body, mind and spirit.
Planting
The mandala-shaped garden bed: a Sanskrit word meaning circle, universally symbolizing harmony and integration. "The medicine is born the moment it is planted." Paracelsus - AlkhemyLab has a 100,000-square-meter site in Cotia, where seedlings are planted in the shape of mandalas. In total, there are 12 mandalas for cultivating 99 plant species from various parts of the world, in harmony with the Brazilian soil and climate. One of the reasons for this mandala design is to replicate nature's design. Plant growth is monitored gradually, respecting the axis of the four elements: earth, water, air, and light. And finally, the harvest takes place during the lunation.
Hygiene
After harvesting, the plants are washed in tanks of pure water. The system follows a documented protocol with all the necessary steps to ensure 100% sanitation. Free of impurities, the plants are sent to the warehouse where they are soaked in grain alcohol and stored in gallons and oak barrels for a 28-day rest period, a full lunar cycle. Once this process is complete, the plants are sent to different destinations. Those that will be used in the production of alchemical spray compounds leave the farm and go directly to the laboratory, also in Cotia. Those that will be used to make subtle florals are sent to the Chapel, located on the farm itself.
Chapel
The site has a "Chapel" to store the flowers that will later be used in the production of subtle florals. The building, inspired by alchemy, has a rounded shape and solar architecture. The entrance faces east, where the sun rises, and the exit faces west, where the sun sets. Internally, the space was created to include 12 distinct areas, each corresponding to an astrological house, and surrounded by several copper tubes. The intention is to allow the flowers, when placed in the copper tubes, to receive the positive influence of the sign of the person who will ingest the subtle floral.
Laboratory
The AlkhemyLab laboratory is the epicenter where the ancient science of alchemy meets contemporary practices, creating compositions that transcend the material. There, each step of the alchemical process is performed with precision and reverence, transforming natural raw materials into vibrant elixirs. This space is more than a technical environment; it is a true sanctuary where the visible and the invisible intertwine.
