Paracelsus (born Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, 1493 –1541) was a Swiss Renaissance physician, botanist, alchemist, astrologer, and general occultist.

Paracelsus pioneered the use of chemicals and minerals in medicine. He used the name "zink" for the element zinc in about 1526, based on the sharp pointed appearance of its crystals after smelting and the old German word "zinke" for pointed.
