Barangan sebeginiu dicari oleh ahli alkimia yang mempercayai ia mampu menghasilkan ragi kehidupan dan batu hikmat, bahan mitos yang membolehkan transmutasi logam biasa menjadi emas. Ia kini mempunyai konotasi negatif menggambarkan sebarang perawatan yang didakwa menyelesaikan pelbagai masalah perubatan[2] sehinggakan disamakan dengan pseudosains.[3]
