Born Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, Paracelsus was a name he gave himself, meaning “better than Celsus”, referring to Celsus, the famous Roman physician. He advocated that physicians should not interfere with natural healing processes, and that pharmacists should be careful to control doses of drugs.
