Three Primes or Tria Prima refers to sulfur, mercury, and salt (NaCl). These three substances were determined, by Paracelsus, to be "pure, naked, clean, and simple after proving by fire"^[1] Paracelsus believed that fire separated pure from impure. Impure substances were destroyed, leaving only the pure substance.
