I'm currently doing some research out of personal curiosity about alchemy. It's always fascinated and impressed me as a topic, but unfortunately I haven't been able to find any verified sources. I'd like to see if anyone knows more about it and can contribute to my research. For now, I only know that it's the first form of medicine that directly derives from modern medicine, even though the practices weren't medical at all, and that it originated from arabs somehow. Thank you in advance.
