Entre sus muchas aportaciones a la medicina moderna, propuso el término sinovial (el líquido sinovial es el que lubrica las articulaciones); estudió y descubrió las características de muchas enfermedades (sífilis y bocio entre otras), sirviéndose para combatirlas tanto del azufre como del mercurio; introdujo en la práctica médica el uso del láudano. Así mismo, se le atribuye la paternidad del término Espagiria. Se puede afirmar que Paracelso fue un precursor de la homeopatía, pues aseguraba que «lo parejo cura lo parejo» y en esa teoría fundamentaba la fabricación de sus medicinas. De todos modos, lo más importante para él era el orden cósmico. La doctrina del Astrum in corpore es su idea más representativa a ese respecto. Fiel a la concepción del hombre como microcosmos, puso el firmamento en el cuerpo del hombre y lo designó como Astrum o Sydus.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Paracelso

Paracelsus, pseudonym of Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, (Einsiedeln, December 17, 1493 – Salzburg, September 24, 1541) was a Swiss-German physician, alchemist, physicist, astrologer, and occultist. He is also credited with creating the name of the element zinc, calling it... zincum.
His pseudonym means "superior to Celsus (Roman physician)". In the study of his biography, fact has been gradually separated from belief, but no agreement has been reached regarding the nature and meaning of his teaching. He is considered by many to be a reformer of medicine. He is also acclaimed for his achievements in Chemistry and as the founder of Biochemistry and Toxicology.
He appears among scientists and reformers such as Andreas Vesalius, Nicolaus Copernicus, and Georgius Agricola, and is therefore seen as a modern figure. On the other hand, he has always possessed an aura of mysticism and even the obscure reputation of a magician.
