[Latin panaca, from Greek panakeia, from panaks, all-healing : pan-, pan- + akos, cure.]



pana·cean adj.
Noun 1. panacea - hypothetical remedy for all ills or diseases; once sought by the alchemists
cure-all, nostrum

From freedictionary.com

My panacea is a hot bath, for someone who doesn't take drugs this seems to work best for me.

Georgette's panacea is a long hot bath, which she never hesitated to suggest to her friends.

Katy and Georgette are so similar. I think Katy and she should be friends.

Maybe Katy got the idea from Georgette -- after all, she never hesitates to suggest...
