HISTORY
|
|
|
Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), who lived 200 years ago, is known as the founder of Homoeopathy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The father of Spagyric is Paracelsus
(1493 – 1541), a great Swiss physician, who lived 500 years ago
|
|
Paracelsus travelled to many countries to
increase his medical knowledge and experience.
A professor of medicine at the prestigious university of Basel,
he practised and lectured in many major European medical centres. He studied medical alchemy, astrology, herbal
medicine and spirituality, always seeking new information.
Paracelsus is regarded as the founder of
alternative medicine, the sixteenth-century equivalent of Hippocrates and one
of the pioneers of the European pharmacy and pharmaceutical chemistry. He wrote
more than 300 papers including practical medicine and chemistry, mostly
published by his followers after his death.
His
Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, in a wonderful speech when he was
President-elect of the British Medical Association (BMA) in 1982, referred to
the great contribution of Paracelsus in promoting good
health.

Dr Zimpel
|
The German physician Dr Carl Friedrich
Zimpel (1801-1879) made a notable contribution to this area of natural medicine
and PHYLAK-Spagyric medicine is based on his method. Having delicate health himself he tried cures
in several spas and after graduating in philosophy and medicine he travelled
extensively for decades. At the age of
70 and after his key experiences with Count Cesare Mattei (1809-1896), Zimpel
published his” Medical home treasury”, an exhaustive body of information.
After his death his work was forgotten
until it was rediscovered in Germany around 1930. Following that, Spagyric
had an official place in Europe and in the
German Pharmacopoeia.
