Myrtle tree

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myrtus_communis
based on the context in the very next question:
ظهر من خلف الآسية شيخ صغير القامة ، محدودب الظهر ، لحيته الحمراء تشتعل فتزيد وجهه احتقانا
الآسية here means a myrtle tree
another possible meaning :
cylindrical column (if it is mentioned in the text any building , palace ).
It could mean the sad woman but not in the above context.

curer / healer / therapist / physician / surgeon
الآسى meant as a doctor that is rare to use even in historical references.
Base on this الآسي masculine noun , the feminine noun is الآسية
So it is ok to say الآسية is the nurse.

Column/pillar
A column or pillar in architecture and structural engineering is a structural element that transmits, through compression, the weight of the structure above to other structural elements below. In other words, a column is a compression member. The term column applies especially to a large round support (the shaft of the column) with a capital and a base or pedestal,[1] which is made of stone, or appearing to be so
