I made a 400 year old ALCHEMY cure - and Tried it!

It's often forgotten that Alchemy was central for revolutions in Medicine, especially pharmacology. Following the theories of Paracelsus, I'm re-creating a 400 year old curative potion from Wormwood. How was alchemical medicine made? How did they think it worked? And, what does it taste like and what does it do? Let's re-create some authentic alchemy medicine from 400 years ago!

Too much Shofar blowing.

As a fellow homebrewer I salute you, sir. This is incredible stuff. Having learned so much about terroire and especially "water" I wonder how much these types of alchemicals varied region to region.

Thanks again for not poisoning yourself. :-) It's still wild to me, to hear you say "For your own safety, don't do this. *Never* do this." [Does that.] Justin can have a little alchemical potion, as a treat.

The intersection between alchemy and alcoholism. /jk

Very interesting and much appreciated- but in the full interest of science? We need a followup if and when you do get a tummy ache. Time to find out if it works. (Any volunteers?)

Dr. Sledge really appreciate all the work you do, just curious do you have your episodes for download as MP3s?

Groobus Grimes

This is really cool. Entirely outside of my wheelhouse.

I just have to say I really do love your content. As a bookbinder, and a lover of books (and the magic they contain), I love seeing your work, and hearing about all of the amazing things I will likely never get my hands on.
