An old medicine rediscovered:
Aurum Potabile – the drinking-gold of the alchemists

Far back in the Middle Ages, Paracelsus praised its medical powers. Today “aurum potabile”, the alchemists’ cure-all, has again become word of mouth, so to speak.

With the help of various tests in the field of alternative medicine the attempt was made to elucidate this ancient riddle.
