The Middle Ages
A great exponent of alchemy,
Paracelsus insisted that its true purpose was not to make gold but to prepare effective medicines, and he used liquid gold to treat all kinds of ailments, apparently with good effect, and his fame as a healer spread throughout Europe. His influence continued into the seventeenth century.

Resurgence
in the art of healing occurred during the Renaissance in Europe. One of
the most renowned healers of the period, known as Paracelsus (1493-1541),
attributed his understanding of the laws and practices of medicine to
his conversations with witches, literally 'wise women' or pagan healers
purged by the Church. He regarded light and colour as essential for good
health and used them extensively in treatment.
