Study Finds A Potent Painkiller In Traditional Chinese Medicine

The study also shows that mice do not build up a resistance to the naturally occurring compound, which means it could one day be used for managing chronic pain in humans.”
According to the LA Times article, the compound found in the Corydalis plant responsible for its pain-relieving feature is called dehydrocorybulbine or DHCB for short. The compound DHCB was tested on mice, not human subjects, but the findings were encouraging. DHCB was responsible in relieving acute pain, inflammatory pain, and even chronic pain on the mice in the research study.

However, the Healthy Back Institute has an effective, all-natural pain reliever called Heal-N-Soothe. If you’re interested in Heal-N-Soothe, click on the image below …
