Beschreibung

John Pharamund Rhumelius was a German alchemist and physician, and a contemporary of Jan Baptist van Helmont. He was born in Neumark in 1597 and died in Nuremberg in 1661. 

Spagyric Medicine is a natural method of health care based on medicinal plants.
More popular in Germany, spagyric remedies, although similar to homeopathy and herbal medicine in many ways, are a unique class of medicine that can be used for a wide variety of health conditions, from acute disease to chronic conditions.
Spagyric remedies combine the phytotherapeutic effects of botanical medicine with the energetic aspects of homeopathy. The remedies themselves have active biochemical constituents based on their specific herbal, and sometimes homeopathic metal, components. However, the spagyric process itself then potentiates the energetic signature of the plants in much the same way succussion and dilution do in the homeopathic process.

The modality was first coined by Paracelsus, the famous Swiss physician of the 16th century, but continued by brilliant scientists such as Rhumelius.

HERMETIC COMPENDIUM

Chapter 1. The True Medicine Of The Ancients And How It Was Found

The true medicine of our forefathers consists solely in the Quintessence, and it was Hermes-Trismegistos, who lived at the time of Moses, who was the first to discover and transmit it in his writings.

The art of medicine lasted until the time that misochemistry 1 appeared with its unfounded theories, the great difficulties it had to overcome, its intermixture with witchcraft and magic, its disparagement due to unfair criticism, and finally its disappearance in empty twaddle.

Perhaps Satan, the enemy of mankind, had used all his cleverness and malice to deprive us of this aid. Perhaps he wished to prevent the grandeur of the Eternal God from becoming manifest and to deprive Him of man's thanksgivings, while at the same time depriving the latter of this natural and powerful medicine.

Chapter 2. From Where This True Medicine Is To Be Extracted, And The Difference Comprised Therein

The true medicine has its origin in the center of the earth. It comes solely from God who has revealed it to us very clearly in the Trinity. Omnipotent God, Who is One God only, nevertheless consists of three Persons; therefore, having fashioned his creature in His likeness, He has signed it by His signature, which is triple, so that His law might show through His creation.

Yet this Trinity appears to us under the aspect of Unity. By Hermes Trismegistos it is termed "true, without a lie." Other philosophers call it "The Three Principles of all things." These Three Principles are found in the three kingdoms; vegetable, animal, and mineral. The Hermetic physicians have called them Mercury, Sulphur, and Salt, because they are also found in the resolution of each of these particular bodies.

Although each species has its different Principles, we find in the plant kingdom salt, oil, and water; in the mineral kingdom, earth, sulphur, and mercury; in the animal kingdom, body, soul, and spirit.

It is on this philosophy that Hermetic medicine is based, because every spirit aspires to unite with the one which is most akin to itself: "like is healed by its like." 2

In this the Hermetists and Galenists differ. The Hermetists give preponderance to the Three Principles, because they are the elements which are closest to all things; and here Hermes seems to us to be closer to truth than Galen, who, in sickness, is only concerned with the impurity of the elements.

But as the true essence of bodies lies in the intermixture of the Three Principles, Nature, if helped by them, herself rejects the impurities from the bodies and restores health to them. When it is the Salt that is affected in the microcosm, the acts; if it is Sulphur or Mercury that is sick, or heals them.

This is what I wished to explain briefly, so that the blind might open their eyes and see what are the Hermetic philosophy and medicine, and that they take their stand on the foundation of Universal Nature; also, so that they might discern in what they differ from ordinary medicine. By knowing both, a true physician will be able to cure by the Hermetic medicine the disorders that appear incurable to the Galenists. Then the shameless lies of the latter, who claim that the "chemists" poison people, will be shown up. Finally, when you have read and understood this booklet, you will know that it is the ordinary medicine that is a lie and a poison, and you will agree with me that those whom I call "chemists" are not those vulgar spoilers of waters and mixtures who even quote Paracelsus as their authority, while ignoring the first word of Hermetic medicine! It is not enough to carry a long knife to be a good cook; consequently, I will here only speak for those who wish to study the Principles that rest on a solid foundation and who wish to attain to the mastery in the Work in the experimental way.

Chapter 3. The Right Knowledge And The Origin Of All Illnesses

In medicine it is customary to say: If the cause of the disease is found, it is easier to find the remedy.

Therefore, the physician must above all identify the illness; then he will know how to treat it. The disappearance of the illness is visible, the beginning obscure. The aim of the physician is to make it disappear. It is in that that he can prove his knowledge of the ultimate materia.

In my little treatise The First Essences, I have proven to you that Salt, Sulphur, and Mercury originate in the Four elements, which arise from the four wombs of one aid the same Nature; and Nature herself has her origin in the Three Principles. From there stem our illnesses and all the disorders of our bodies. For the life of the body is not only regulated by the Four Humors but also by the Three Principles: , , , by the natural stars of the microcosm, and by the Five Origins of evil. Knowing this, the physician will be able to diagnose and discern all illnesses. It is only by this means that he will get to know Heaven, whose origin will be revealed to him.

The planets pour their rays and effects down on the corporeal planets in special signs, according to whether man lets himself be guided by the sideric or the animal spirit. Thus the Elements and the planets have their signature in man. When one of these signs or planets rules the macrocosm, it also rules the course of the microcosm and attracts man to it as the earth attracts the rain. When we observe the rule of an adverse planet, and the weather is breaking up and the sky becomes overcast - man immediately feels uneasy and depressed as a result of the harmony between macrocosm and microcosm. Consequently, the rising and the periods of growth of each planet correspond with different illnesses in the human body.

But if man lives by the example of God, the stars do not rule him any longer; on the contrary, it is he that dominates them, according to the old saying: The stars govern the body, but the free spirit governs the stars.

A physician must therefore not only observe the constitution and humors but much rather the planets of the microcosm and also how he can discover the power and effects of the remedies according to the signature of their planets; because the stars are not only in the Great World but also in the Little World, that is, in man, who contains in himself all the minerals of the Great World and is therefore called: Little World.

Therefore, before classifying the diseases, we must recognize all the minerals of the human body and know that the microcosm draws its medicine from the Great World. As many planets there are in the sky, as many minerals there are in the earth; each planet exercises its influence in a spiritual way, and there are as many minerals or planets in man as are in the earth (because man is an extraction and quintessence of the earth).
