The Rod of Asclepius

The Rod of Asclepius is an ancient Greek symbol associated with medicine, healing, and healthcare, consisting of a single snake entwined around a staff. It's linked to the Greek myth of Asclepius, the god of medicine and healing, who learned the art of healing from the centaur Chiron and became so skilled that he could even raise the dead. The snake represents renewal, transformation, and healing, while the staff symbolizes authority, wisdom, and spiritual growth, and the single snake may also represent the balance between opposing forces.
