The snake has been used as a symbol by pharmacies and doctors for a very long time. The serpent is a symbol of medicine. The Rod of Asclepius is a serpent entwined rod wielded by the Greek God Asclepius, a deity associated with healing and medicine. It was believed that Asclepius had the power to rise from the dead.
Legend tells that Zeus was worried that Asclepius
would make mankind immortal because of his healing power. Out
of fear, he killed Asclepius with a lightning bolt. Temples were
built for Asclepius, and seemingly dead serpents were found
inside.

When these serpents were picked up and dropped, however, they slithered away. To people this was interpreted as that the serpents were brought back to life by the healing powers of Asclepius, which ultimately caused them to be associated with healing. Tame snakes were kept in his temples as this animal was regarded as a symbol of regeneration.
