PRODUCT OVERVIEW

What are SOUL DROPS?

SOUL DROPS are powerful herbal supplements made from sacred plants to promote holistic wellness. Created by renowned healer and herbalist, Vlada Talan, SOUL DROPS use an ancient spagyric process to offer all-natural, legal, safe microdosing. With only a few drops per day, these potent plant essences can help you feel better, more balanced, connected, energetic, focused, creative, inspired, calm, relaxed, intuitive, and integrated.

How many types of Soul Drops are available online?

We currently offer 3 categories of SOUL DROPS for online purchase. There are the Master Plants (SOL, LUN, COSMOS). We call them them the “Master Plant Trinity” because they work in synergy to offer profound healing. Then there are the Adaptogens (MIND, LUN) which help us let go of stress, regain balance and empower resilience when facing the challenges of daily life. Next, come the Nootropics (MIND) which enhance mental faculties and optimize brain function. The plant essences were developed to work together to empower balanced healing on a daily basis.

Where is the product manufactured?

SOUL DROPS are hand-made with loving shamanic energy in small batches in Southern California.

Where do the plants come from?

The plants are sourced from around the world.

Are they natural/organic?

Yes. Soul Drops are all-natural, organic, wild-crafted, and GMO-free.

Are they allergen free?

Yes. Soul Drops are free of all allergens. They are vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, and soy-free.

Who created the product?

Soul Drops are hand-made by Vlada Talan who draws on over 20 years of shamanic plant healing and biochemistry to infuse them with powerful energy. Vlada’s unique background combines western science with ancient shamanic practice and other healing modalities. Vlada has studied with multiple lineages of shamanic traditions around the world including intensive work with dozens of local indigenous plants. In the past three decades, her sacred plant formulas have transformed the lives of thousands of people. Vlada was the first to develop a process for alchemical microdosing with sacred plants. Now she has taken this approach to the next level by using an alchemical spagyric process to deliver a unique, powerful wellness experience.

Why was it created? What is the story behind SOUL DROPS?

For the past 5 years Vlada has been refining her ceremonial plant formula for microdosing. She was called to develop this new method of sacred plant work to help people who either can’t attend ceremonies or want to work with the master plants at home for more self-healing and integration between ceremonies. By using an ancient alchemical spagyric process, she has been able to create a natural, legal, safe botanical microdosing that anyone can use to feel better, increase energy, improve concentration, enhance creativity, balance mood, relax, and sleep more easily. Vlada created the product to enable people to have a daily practice with the master plants for self-healing and overall wellness. SOUL DROPS is intended to be used as part of a healthy-living regime along with a primarily plant-based diet, exercise, and meditation. Vlada’s life mission is to empower people to work with sacred plants for self-healing. Now even more people can experience the benefits of these healing plants because SOUL DROPS can be used at home by people who traditionally couldn’t attend ceremonies due to mental or physical health problems, advanced age, medications, drug addictions, time constraints, resistance, or cost.

What is microdosing?

Microdosing is using small amounts of a healing formula that produce sub-perceptual effects while minimizing the full side effects. The concept of microdosing comes from pharmaceutical drug trials. As part of a Phase 0 study, small doses are given to humans to study cellular effect but minimize side effects of the full amount. If the microdosing trial has positive results, they will then move on to Phase 1 testing of the full amount.

In the case of SOUL DROPS, microdosing enables people to use sacred plants on a daily basis at home while going about their normal routines. The wellness effects are profound without any psychedelic effects. SOUL DROPS are intended to bring you into balance.

Why should I try Soul Drops sacred plant microdosing?

Taking small doses of ancient healing plants can improve your well-being. Soul Drops are specially formulated to empower you to feel healthier and more energized, positive, balanced, focused, connected, creative and relaxed. This is a unique way to work with the most powerful plants on the planet on a daily basis. Our sacred plant microdosing empowers you to take your healing to a new level. They’re all-natural, safe, effective, easy to dose and have no psychedelic effects. Soul Drops only use legal ingredients and can be prescribed by doctors and therapists.

During the past three years of trials, the response has been tremendous. We’ve heard many success stories from Soul Drops clients including reports of profound physical, mental, emotional and spiritual effects. People tell us that they’re feeling healthier, more balanced, positive, lighter, calmer, focused, stronger, inspired, grounded, self-actualized, and confident. They’re feeling more passionate, compassionate, socially and emotionally connected, tuned to nature, and spiritually aware, and have an overall sense of improved well-being. In addition, people are experiencing less chronic physical discomfort, drinking less coffee and alcohol, quitting smoking, transitioning off of some prescription medications, taking better care of themselves, switching to a healthier diet and leading happier lives. Soul Drops offer more than performance enhancement, this sacred plant microdosing empowers you to heal and connect with your true selves. If you’re ready to step into your power, this is an opportunity to be your best self.

How are SOUL DROPS different from other microdosing?

Most people microdose by taking a small amount of a full-strength formula synthetic or plant. They’ll dilute it in water. It’s an unrefined, not very elegant way of doing it because it doesn’t capture the whole plant. These herbal tinctures are alleged to have superior healing properties to simple alcoholic and water based preparations. While the water carries the vibration if you just dilute in water or create as a homeopathic, it doesn’t have the strength of a spagyric essence.

How are the products made? What is the chemical process for creating spagyrics?

Our spagyric essences are created through a special alchemical process that delivers a stronger solution than homeopathy, simple dilutions and tinctures. Through separation, purification and recombination, Soul Drops offer the whole plant for healing. Unlike other products that only offer a diluted mind, Soul Drops combines the plant’s mind-body-spirit with all the minerals, salts, essential oils and traditional healing properties. By maximizing the energy of these plants for microdosing, Soul Drops can have a profound effect mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Though the drops are less concentrated *chemically,* the potentiation makes them more concentrated *energetically.* Because of their strength, spagyrics are taken in microdose form, meaning only one to three drops are needed to receive the full healing benefits.

Synergizing the mind-body-spirit of the plant with a person’s mind-body-spirit is the secret to holistic healing. From the alchemical point of view there are three parts to a plant – the mind, the body, and the spirit. These three parts can’t be taken out by one process. If you cook, you lose the spirit through evaporation. In order to preserve the spirit of the plant, you need to extract in a certain way through distillation or extraction of the volatile part. This is also the headnote like in a perfume. Virtually every tincture is comprised of the mind of the plant. That’s the watery extract. If you cook something or make a tincture, you only get the mind of the plant. The tincture has no recollection any more of the plant it once was. It has no body. The body is like the DNA of the plant which cannot be extracted easily. Vlada’s staged process involves first extracting the headnote, the spirit, and then the mind. After you extract the other two, you have to incinerate the remaining plant matter into a white ash. This white ash contains the precise ratio of minerals from the fiber of the plant that make up its body. Without these minerals, it’s just a chemical. It’s not a plant essence any more. To ensure we’re delivering the true plant essence, the white ash is washed with water to generate an alkaline solution. Then all three phases are recombined into one to create the ‘plant stone.’ The plant stone is the basis for spagyric essences.

What is the difference between spagyric essences and homeopathy?

A spagyric essence is stronger than a dilution or a homeopathic. The method of preparation gives SOUL DROPS an energetic dimension similar to homeopathy but the major difference between homeopathy and spagyrics is that homeopathy enhances the potential of the remedy by successive dilutions and vigorous shaking; in spagyrics the strength of the remedy is increased though the specific preparation process, and not by dilutions. The final spagyric is a re-blending of all such extracts into one ‘essence’ or ‘plant stone’. Hence these essences are “the real ethnobotanical” and not a homoepathic preparation as they contain the full plant.

What are the advantages of a spagyric? How is it different from a homeopathic?

While the water just carries the vibration if you just dilute a plant or create a homeopathic, it does not have the strength of a spagyric. If you have a homeopathic dilution with less than 1 molecule per liter, you are technically buying water. The spagyric process retains more of the plant and its potency so spagyric essences are stronger than homeopathic dilutions.


INGREDIENTS & EFFECTS

What are the ingredients?

SOUL DROPS are made with traditional healing plants that have been used around the world for thousands of years. These are sacred plants used by curanderos, healers, shamans and spiritual guides in South America, Africa, India and elsewhere to help people achieve energetic balance.

What is the difference between the ‘new formula’ and the ‘original formula’?

During our initial trials, customer feedback indicated that the original formula was too powerful for daily use and it was difficult to measure single drops. We honor our customers and our intention is to offer a product that is easy to use on a daily basis. Vlada enhanced the formula by modifying the ingredients and dosage to offer an energetic balance that would be easier for people to work with and still have a profound effect.

Why are they called “sacred plants” and “master teacher plants”?

They are called sacred plants because humans have been using them to elevate their consciousness in ceremonial settings for thousands of years. They are called Master Teacher Plants because of their wisdom. The plants are regarded with great respect and honor for their wisdom and ability to empower humans to self-heal mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. One does not take or use these plants. Rather, one works with them and learns from them. They are instructors and guides that help us better understand and integrate our minds, bodies, emotions and spirits. They have been on this planet millions of years longer than humans and have profound knowledge to share. As part of the Web of Life, plants and animals co-exist in a symbiotic relationship. Not only do they provide oxygen, nourishment and shelter, plants also provide information to animals.

Amongst the Teacher Plants, there is a powerful group considered the Master Teachers. Teacher plants are all plants that hold wisdom. The Master Teachers offer access to a higher level of consciousness and cosmic knowledge.

Western science is increasingly discovering that all plants have intelligence, emotions and consciousness. They communicate, feel, express, engage in self-defense and collaborate with animals. The Master Teachers are the leaders, the Ivy League/ Nobel Laureates of the plant kingdom.

Is there actual Ayahusaca in Soul Drops?

The LUN drops are made with Boa Vine which is also known as Ayahuasca or Banisteriopsis Caapi. This vine has been used for thousands of years for its profound healing and wisdom. Our legal Ayahuasca microdosing formula only contains the legal vine. It was specially created to exclude any psychedelic effects.

Does SOUL DROPS use any illegal psychedelic plants?

No. SOUL DROPS are legal sacred plant microdosing that are specially formulated with legal plants to exclude psychedelic effects. They were created with the intention to offer safe, legal, daily, at home use of powerful ancient healing plants.

What are the effects?

During the past 5 years of trials, the response has been tremendous. We’ve heard many success stories from SOUL DROPS clients including reports of profound physical, mental, emotional and spiritual effects. People tell us that they’re feeling healthier, more balanced, positive, lighter, calmer, focused, stronger, creative, inspired, grounded, self-actualized, socially and emotionally connected, compassionate, more in tune with nature and spiritually aware, and have an overall sense of improved well-being. In addition, people are experiencing less chronic physical discomfort, drinking less coffee and alcohol, quitting smoking, transitioning off of some prescription medications, taking better care of themselves, and switching to a healthier diet. It’s deeply gratifying to hear that people are feeling empowered to heal and connect with their true selves. These profound effects are why we’re calling the product SOUL DROPS.

Which combinations are recommended and not recommended?

Soul Drops are intended to empower you to achieve energetic balance. They fall into categories in terms of how they can affect you -- stimulant and relaxant. In addition, they each have unique healing properties.

  • stimulants: SOL, MIND
  • relaxants: LUN, COSMOS
We encourage you to work with the plants to determine the optimum combination to achieve your health and wellness goals. Combining the drops can increase alertness or relaxation.
  • It is also not recommended to mix LUN + SOL because the energies do not synchronize well.
  • Cosmos + Sol: Sol adds some alertness to balance out Cosmos which can have a trance-like effect.
  • Any of the Soul Drops can be used before meditation depending on what you want to work on.

What is the difference between taking the ingredients of MIND separately and taking them as a single formula?

MIND is created with a special process to offer the maximum nootropic and adaptogen benefits of the ingredients. The formula is uniquely empowered with a strong shamanic energy that exceeds other products with similar plants.

Can I take them all at once?

Yes. However, to maximize the energies of the particular plants we recommend taking SOL in the morning, LUN in the afternoon/evening and COSMOS before bed. MIND can be taken as needed.

What should I do if the effects are too strong?

Try eating before taking the drops. You can also reduce the amount to 1/2 dropper or less. We recommend setting an intention to enhance your work with the plants. The master plants give you what you need but not always what you want. A good way to track the effects and gain wisdom from working with the plants is to keep a journal.

You may find yourself feeling better overall, more positive, calmer, and balanced. A good way to track the effects and gain wisdom from working with the plants is to keep a journal.

There’s no need to take a double dose. You can just take the regular daily amount that you’re used to.

What would happen if I drank the whole bottle? Would the effect be stronger?

You likely won’t see any increase of effects. The amount does not increase the energetic effect. Because of the microdosing effect you will very likely feel less with a stronger dose not more.

I dropped the bottle and my dog/cat licked it up. Should I worry?

SOUL DROPS are safe for pets. Depending on which one was consumed, you may notice a slight increase of energy or relaxation.

My child drank the bottle. Should I worry?

SOUL DROPS are safe for children. Depending on which one was consumed, you may notice a slight increase of energy or relaxation. Because of the “microdosing effect” the larger amounts will actually prevent the child from having a conscious experience.

We recommend SOUL DROPS as an ongoing part of a healthy lifestyle along with a nutritious plant-based diet, exercise, and meditation.
