Philippus Aureolus Paracelsus |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Sixteenth-century Swiss physician and chemist Philippus Aureolus Paracelsus rejected the prevalent medieval belief that medical disorders were caused by an imbalance of bodily “humors” or fluids. Instead, he proposed that diseases were caused by external agents. His methods of treatment were similar in some respects to today’s homeopathic remedies. | ||||||
