"This article explores the origins and evolution of alchemy, particularly focusing on the terminologies "chemeia" and "chumeia," which reference alchemical practices in Greek and are connected to traditional practices in China and India. The author, S. Mahdihassan, posits that alchemy was initially centered around the search for longevity and life-enhancing remedies using various substances, notably those with red coloration that symbolized life and vitality. The discussion unfolds through a historical narrative that traces back how early humans sought longevity through natural drugs derived from plants and minerals."
