Caduceus Symbol - Meaning, History, and Medical Use #3658665 (License: Personal Use)

The caduceus is a symbolic staff carried by Hermes in Greek mythology, depicting two snakes winding around a winged rod. Though historically linked to commerce and messengers, it has been mistakenly adopted in modern times as a symbol of medicine-often confused with the Rod of Asclepius, which features a single snake and no wings. Its clean, symmetrical design makes it popular in logos, signage, and digital interfaces for health-related services.
