  Alchemical to Modern Chemical Symbolism
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-15-2024, 07:40 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"The alchemical symbols for metals, acids, bases and salts were still in everyday use in much of the 18th century. The modern notation, which we use today, is due to Berzelius, but the transition was long and arduous and took place between ca. 1775 and 1820 roughly simultaneously with but distinct from the Chemical Revolution. The notations of Bergman and Dalton (pictured) were stages of the process, which had to deal with the thorny questions of affinity, stoichiometry, the forces that bind atoms together in molecules, and the constitution of molecules."

  College of Classical Chinese Medicine
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-15-2024, 07:23 PM - Forum: News - Meeting - Events - No Replies

"NUNM’s classical Chinese medicine (CCM) community is devoted to tapping the source of this ancient medical system. Why? Because we find the classical approach to be exceptionally effective and fascinating. 

The roots of Chinese Medicine extend back thousands of years—to the wisdom and work of cultivated individuals who understood that human beings are microcosms of the natural world. They recognized that everything in the material world, including the human body, is a creation and reflection of a higher dimension of reality. Health and harmony can be achieved by living in accordance with the laws of nature, and in alignment with one’s most authentic expression."
