iatrochemistry

His medical practice appears to have been highly successful, which included iatrochemistry.

The medical chemistry of the 16th and 17th centuries gained the name iatrochemistry, coming from the Greek word for physician.

Having its roots in alchemy, iatrochemistry seeks to provide chemical solutions to diseases and medical ailments.

Iatrochemistry also refers to the pharmaceutical applications of alchemy championed by Paracelsus.

He worked during the years just after Paracelsus and iatrochemistry, and is sometimes considered to be "the founder of pneumatic chemistry".

It was related to iatrochemistry and was particularly associated with the work of Giovanni Borelli.

Samuel Hartlib was a patron and promoter of applied science, including alchemy and iatrochemistry.

Paracelsus - developer of iatrochemistry.

It is a hefty summary of his researches, methods of preparation, and studies into chemical medicine or iatrochemistry.

Paracelsian iatrochemistry emphasized the medicinal application of alchemy (continued in plant alchemy, or spagyric).

Paracelsus develops the study of iatrochemistry, a subdiscipline of alchemy dedicated to extending life, thus being the roots of the modern pharmaceutical industry.

During the Renaissance, exoteric alchemy remained popular in the form of Paracelsian iatrochemistry, while spiritual alchemy flourished, realigned to its Platonic, Hermetic, and Gnostic roots.

Paracelsus (1493-1541), for example, rejected the 4-elemental theory, and with only a vague understanding of his chemicals and medicines formed a hybrid of alchemy and science in what was to be called iatrochemistry.

The origin of the Paracelsian invented word spagyrici from the Greek: Spao, to tear open, + ageiro, to collect, is a neologism coined by Paracelsus to define his spagyric type of medicine-oriented alchemy; the origins of iatrochemistry no less, being first advanced by the Swiss physician.
