Paracelsus was a Swiss physician, philosopher, botanist, occultist and astrologer who is credited as the father of toxicology. He rose to prominence in the first half of the 16th century and was far ahead of his time. Paracelsus observed nature in order to make his claims rather than going by ancient texts. He is not only regarded as the founder of toxicology but also regarded as a trailblazer in several aspects of ‘Medical Revolution’ of the Renaissance. He was the first to state that some diseases might actually be caused due to psychological issues in an individual. He is also credited for naming the metal ‘Zinc’.
