Symbols of Medicine
Rod of Asclepius is an ancient greek symbol associated with the healing arts of medicine. The serpent sheds its skin and therefore represents rebirth and fertility. The staff is the symbol of authority.The Caduceus is a winged staff with two snakes wrapped around it. Originally the Caduceus was considered as a symbol of commerce and associated with the Greek god Hermes. Later in the seventh century it was associated with medicine based on the Hermetic astrological principles of using planets to heal the sick.
In learned circles the Rod of Asclepius is preferred over the Caduceus as a symbol of medicine.
