Definition
Medical treatment using gold or gold compounds, historically used to treat certain diseases like tuberculosis and arthritis.
Etymology
From Greek 'chrysos' (gold) and 'therapeia' (treatment). Developed as a medical term in the late 19th century when doctors discovered gold salts had therapeutic properties.
Kelly Says
Before antibiotics existed, doctors actually injected gold directly into patients' bloodstreams to fight tuberculosis—it sounds medieval but it actually worked for some patients, making gold literally liquid medicine!
