iasis (ίασις): therapy, the result of healing
Ancient Hellenes were responsible for liberating medicine from the bonds of divine will & superstition towards natural causality.
The text is a part of the Hippocratic oath saying “…I will come for the benefit of the sick, remaining free of all intentional injustice”.

Οι αρχαίοι Έλληνες κατόρθωσαν να απελευθερώσουν την ιατρική από τα δεσμά της δεισιδαιμονίας και να την αναπτύξουν στη βάση φυσικών αιτίων.
Το κείμενο είναι μέρος του όρκου του Ιπποκράτη : “…θα χρησιμοποιώ τη θεραπεία για να βοηθώ τους ασθενείς κατά τη δύναμη και τη κρίση μου, αλλά ποτέ για να βλάψω ή να αδικήσω.”
Επί ξύλου, πηλός και σκαλιστός γύψος με πατίνα 20 x 30 εκ.

That is pretty powerful. I love how the piece has flow to it – an energy, like healing itself. Even with unskilled hands we can all be healers by sending the love and light, if only we believe and have the will.
I think I see the ancient staff of healing entwined by two serpents? In the bottom right?
Bravo for this tender scene, my friend 🙂

Yes it is the Rod of Asclepius.
Healing my friend is a big discussion and all I can say is that I had my part of experiencing that.
I am so glad you felt so about this creation.
Love and light as you wisely said..

Yes, I was aware of your recent healing as I was looking at your art. Hope the recovery is going well? My upcoming post, a poem, is about healing. Let’s say, ‘no monkeying about’ 🙂
Love and light always, and keep up the creative energy!

All good my friend.
With the danger of sounding cryptic, my experience in healing has a broader let’s say horizon;in decades…
I’m excited and intrigued about the forthcoming poem.
Stay true my friend.
