"PANACEA" IS THE GREEK GODDESS OF HEALTH AND HEALING, THE PERSONIFICATION OF HEALING THROUGH HERBS. AND, ALTHOUGH SHE WAS CONSIDERED A MINOR GODDESS, HER NAME SURVIVES TODAY AS A TERM USED FOR A CURE-ALL OR A REMEDY. SHE WAS THE DAUGHTER OF ASCLEPIUS, THE GOD OF HEALING AND MEDICINE AND HIS HEALING WIFE, EPIONE. SHE IS THE GRANDDAUGHTER OF APOLLO.
PANACEA AND HER SISTERS EACH PERFORMED A FACET IN THE ART OF HEALING. PANACEA WAS THE GODDESS OF CURES; IASO WAS THE GODDESS OF RECUPERATION; HYGIEIA WAS THE GODDESS OF DISEASE PREVENTION. ACESO WAS THE GODDESS OF RECOVERY; AND AGLAEA WAS THE GODDESS OF NATURAL BEAUTY.
IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT PANACEA HAD A POULTICE OF A POTION WITH WHICH SHE HEALED THE SICK. THIS IS WHAT BROUGHT ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF THE PANACEA IN MEDICINE. THE RIVER, PANEGA, IS NAMED AFTER PANCEA.
