Panacea- Goddess of Universal Remedy

Panacea- Goddess of Universal Remedy

PANAKEIA (or Panacea) was the goddess of cures and panaceas (in the form of medicines, salves and other curatives). She an attendant of her father, the medicine-god Asklepios. Her sisters included Iaso (Remedy), Akeso (Healing) and Hygeia (Good-Health).*

Panacea was said to have a poultice or potion with which she healed the sick. This brought about the concept of the panacea in medicine, a substance meant to cure all diseases. The term is also used figuratively as something intended to completely solve a large, multi-faceted problem.**

Hippocrates, The Hippocratic Oath (Greek physician C5th to C4th B.C.) :
"I swear by Apollon the physician, and Asklepios (Asclepius), and Hygeia, and Panakeia (Panacea), and all the gods and goddesses, that, according to my ability and judgment, I will keep this Oath and this stipulation . . ."*
