- | '''Paracelsianism''' was a medical movement based on the theories and therapies of [[Paracelsus]]. It was prominent in late-16th and 17th century [[Europe]] and represented one of the most comprehensive alternatives to the traditional system of [[therapeutics]] derived from [[Galen]]ic [[physiology]]. Based around the principle of maintaining harmony between the [[Macrocosm and microcosm|microcosm]], Man; and [[Macrocosm and microcosm|macrocosm]], Nature; Paracelsianism fell rapidly into decline in the later 17th century, but left its mark on medical practices; it was responsible for the widespread introduction of [[mineral therapies]] and several other formerly [[esoteric]] techniques. | + | |
