History of chemically synthesized drugs

The ancient Chinese book "Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, and medicine was born", which shows that the history of Chinese people using natural plants as medicines began in the period of the two emperors of the Yellow Emperor.

In ancient Greece, there were records of medicines, and the pioneer of medicine, Cladius, began to use minerals and plants to cure diseases. Chemical medicines, on the other hand, began with the Swiss alchemist Paracelsus.
