Specialist Notes

An outstanding representative of Paracelsian medicine, which he reinterpreted in a more moderate form than in the past, Joseph du Chesne (Armagnac 1546-Paris 1609) was King Henry IV's ordinary physician as well as a French chemist, writer and diplomat. Advocate for a renewal of Hippocratic-Galenic medicine sided with the conciliators by demonstrating that it was possible to respect and appreciate ancient medicine by trying to correct and complement it while accepting medical innovations. & Nbsp; He managed to bring the debate on chemical medicine to a European level
