Panacea

In Greek mythology, Panacea ("all-healing") was a daughter of Asclepius and Salus (or Epione). She was the personification of healing through herbs.
A universal panacea is a cure-all, either physical medication or a solution to a problem. The term is mostly used in the negative sense of an illusionary solution to all problems.
The Panacea Society is Christian-based sect based in Bedford, England which sends out cure-alls and which wishes to promote the work of Joanne Southcott.
