Paracelsus (one of the most famous Alchemists) spoke of correlations between the energies of the seven Ancient Planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn), and certain organs of the body.

The energies of the Seven Ancient Planets also correspond to:

• Seven days of the week
• Seven main Chakras
• Seven levels (or planes) of existence
• Seven energy bodies.

Disease is created in the body, when these energies become imbalanced.
