How Ancient Cultures Discovered the Power of Fe, Mg Zn, & Ca - Paul Ferguson - 10-29-2025
"Imagine an ancient Egyptian priest grinding malachite — a bright green copper-based mineral — into a paste. He believed this paste would link the wearer to the gods. On the other side of the Silk Road, a Chinese alchemist prepared cinnabar. This alchemist thought cinnabar held the key to eternal life. In India’s Ayurvedic temples, healers prescribed bhasmas — calcinated mineral mixtures — to restore the body’s basic energies."
