This is the magical stick of Hermes So this in this magical stick there will be a central stick with the feathers of a Dau and two serpents pointing at each other according to Greek mythology Stick was held by Hermes without the serpent when he saw two snakes fighting He threw this stick on to them then these two snakes became harmonious through the stick So he was considered as the God of harmony but for commerce trade and all In 1902 the US Army mistakenly used this Codaceous symbol as the symbol of medicine then from then on Many parts of the US started using this as the symbol of medicine Even many parts of the world also started using this As a symbol of medicine now coming to the rod of Ascalippus So he is the he is also a Greek God Ascalippus son of Greek God Apollo and in this picture we can see the Hermes with Codaceous and Ascalippus with the rod of Ascalippus his own magical stick according to Greek mythology Ascalippus is considered as the God of healing and His acts of healing Cure has been exceptional according to Greek mythology and these two are Higia and Panacea his own daughters So in Hippocratic both We swear this both on the Greek for Greek gods that is Apollo who is the father of this Ascalippus then Ascalippus Higia and Panacea So the he is the Greek God of healing so and the stick which he was holding is rod of Ascalippus and it is widely considered as the symbol of medicine So now let us see who are all using Codaceous and who are all using rod of Ascalippus So the many places of us still use Codaceous as a symbol of medicine and the health professionals in their own vehicles and their presentations and Indian Medical Association Are using this Codaceous symbol as the symbol of medicine But WHO in their emblem they still use this rod of Ascalippus Medical Council of India also uses rod of Ascalippus as the symbol of medicine Our University Tamil Nadu doctor MGR Medical University also uses this rod of Ascalippus and Now this emblem is called as the Star of Life emblem which has been designed for the usage of the ambulances So now the answer is here Which is the symbol of medicine not this one and not this one and Finally the answer is the rod of Ascalippus Which is the symbol of medicine?
