Paracelsus

Theophrastus Bombast von Hohenheim, called Paracelsus (* 1493 or 1494 in Egg, Canton Schwyz; † September 24, 1541.
In the 16th century AD, Paracelsus interpreted the laying on of hands and similar techniques as magnetization that brought healing.
Later, in the 18th century, Mesmer spoke of animal rather than mineral magnetization. “Doctors should treat body and soul”
