As I mentioned it above, Ficino’s doctrine of spiritual medicine was influential for the development of vitalist medicine during the Renaissance. For instance, Paracelsus, who establishes the importance of chemical analysis in the study of diseases and their cures, also believed on importance of the role of spirits in medicine.
