Caduceus

The caduceus is like a magic stick that represents healing and protection. It looks like a stick with wings at the top and two snakes twirling around it. The stick part means strength and protection, while the wings symbolize speed and freedom. The snakes represent health and medicine.

Doctors and nurses sometimes use the caduceus symbol on their uniforms and badges to show that they are healers and protectors. People have been using the caduceus symbol for thousands of years, dating back to ancient Greek and Roman times. It's a powerful symbol that reminds us of the importance of taking care of our bodies, helping others when they're sick, and staying healthy.
