To Power Level Alchemy you will need a lot of herbs.  You will either have to be a herbalism profession or buy the herbs from the auction house.  Check out our Herbalism Power Leveling Guide Here.  This may be expensive, if you dont have enough gold make sure you check out this page.  It is always nice to be a level 375 alchemist because alchemists are highly needed in PVP situations.  You will also be much more useful to your guild if you are in one.
