Best Answer

Alchemy is often defined as a pseudo-scientific predecessor to chemistry that sought to transmute base metals into gold, produce an elixir to prolong life indefinitely, produce a panacea or universal remedy, and produce an 'alkhest' or universal solvent. Alchemy is actually about all possible transmutations (changes of state and form) of all matter. Alchemy' is believed to have originated in China around 2500BC, and travelled through Asia and India before appearing around 300BC in Egypt and Greece.
