Why Did We Choose The Name Hygieia-San?

Why the name Hygieia-San Hygieia (or Hygeia) was the ancient Greek goddess of health and cleanliness. She gave her name to the philosophy of hygiene.

The cult of Hygeia originated in Athens in the 6th century BCE, in association with the cult of Athena, goddess of wisdom and purity. Statues of Athene and Hygeia stood at the entrance to the Acropolis temple in Athens.

Hygeia was a young goddess, daughter and chief attendant to Asklepios, the god of medicine. She was in charge of cleanliness and how to live a long life. San of course, means to free surfaces from dirt, bacteria and viruses, by cleaning or sterilising. Hence our brand name “HYGIEIA-SAN”
