Chemistry as experimental science began in the seventeenth century, when it began moving away from being one of the alchemical doctrines and toward analyzing matter and its transformations using scientific methods. Previously, the ancient Pre-Socratic philosophy through observation of nature was concerned with the laws that govern the natural world and the property of matter. Later, the Hellenistic Alexandrian culture took possession of the Hermetic doctrines of the Egyptians, mixing them with pre-Socratic thought and Gnosticism. At this historical moment, therefore, there was a fusion of the Greek philosophical patrimony and the Hellenistic and Alexandrian influences on medicine. The Hermetic gnosis evolved over time to become alchemy and then to usher in the birth of chemical science. Many doctors were wandering philosophers who dealt with cosmogony to understand the body and diseases and to discover new healing drugs for treatment, and thus they were the first chemist therapists.
The influence of ancient physicians through the pre-Socratic philosophy for these prochemical theories and practice has been researched through ancient texts, so these texts have been referenced to determine the legacy of paleo-chemicals doctrines.
The study of various texts in particular from the Pre-Socratic age and the eminent physicians underline that, despite a different approach to the cosmogonic concepts of nature and the matter, the medicine of that age had an important influence on chemistry as an experimental science, especially concerning therapy with drugs.
The Pre-Socratic philosophers have influenced the medical practice and guided it toward the concept of the properties of matter for medical treatment and an understanding of the causes of diseases.
化学作为一门实验科学，始于 17 世纪，当时它开始摆脱炼金术教义的束缚，转而使用科学方法分析物质及其转化。在此之前，古希腊前苏格拉底哲学通过对自然的观察，关注的是支配自然世界的规律和物质的性质。后来，希腊化的亚历山大文化占有了埃及的赫尔墨斯教义，将其与前苏格拉底思想和诺斯替主义混合在一起。因此，在这个历史时刻，希腊哲学遗产与希腊化和亚历山大对医学的影响发生了融合。赫尔墨斯的诺斯替主义随着时间的推移演变成了炼金术，然后迎来了化学科学的诞生。许多医生都是流浪的哲学家，他们研究宇宙论来理解身体和疾病，并发现新的治疗药物来进行治疗，因此他们是第一批化学治疗师。
通过古代文本研究了古代医生通过前苏格拉底哲学对这些亲化学理论和实践的影响，因此这些文本被引用以确定古化学教义的遗产。
对各种文本的研究，特别是来自前苏格拉底时代和杰出医生的文本，强调了尽管对自然和物质的宇宙论概念有不同的看法，但那个时代的医学对作为实验科学的化学有重要影响，特别是在药物治疗方面。
前苏格拉底哲学家影响了医学实践，并引导其关注物质的性质概念，以进行医学治疗和理解疾病的原因。
