Paracelsus – The Visionary of Longevity
Over 500 years ago, a Swiss man lived whose thinking revolutionized the world of medicine and whose legacy continues to resonate to this day: Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, better known as Paracelsus.
As a physician, alchemist, and philosopher, he embodied the spirit of the Renaissance—a time of upheaval, curiosity, and the search for new paths.
Paracelsus was a rebel of his time. He questioned dogmatic teachings, relied on observation and experience, and introduced chemical remedies into medicine.
But what truly made him unique was his holistic view of humanity. For him, a human being was not just a body, but a unity of body, mind, and soul, inseparably connected to nature and the cosmos.
It is precisely this holistic approach that inspires us at My Way of Longevity.
We believe that longevity and well-being are more than just the absence of disease. It’s about a lifestyle that brings body, mind, and soul into harmony. It’s about understanding the signals of nature, utilizing our own resources, and forging new paths—just as Paracelsus did.
Paracelsus taught us that healing does not only come from the outside but also arises from within. His vision of medicine, which is individualized, nature-based, and scientifically grounded, has lost none of its relevance today.
On the contrary: In an era where we are learning more and more about genetics, the microbiome, and mental health, his approach seems more modern than ever.
• With our SUISSE WELLBEING ONLINE MAGAZINE FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS, My Way of Longevity, we aim to carry forward this spirit.
• My Way of Longevity is aimed at healthcare professionals and interested laypeople who are open to innovative approaches and wish to rediscover the power of nature as a source of health and well-being.
Our magazine is a platform for all those who are curious, who question, who seek new perspectives, and who are ready to look beyond the boundaries of conventional medicine. Whether through current research reports, practical health tips from naturopathy, alternative healing methods, or Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) -we invite you to experience your own “Paracelsus moment”: an insight that will change your life.
Let us together connect the lessons of the past with the possibilities of the present. Let us be bold, push boundaries, and discover new horizons.
For as Paracelsus himself said: “The art of healing comes from nature, not from the doctor.”
