Scientists have discovered the beneficial properties of the plant Euphorbia resinifera (resin euphorbia), which allow it to be used as a universal anesthetic.

This plant, common in Morocco, is considered the most acute in the world, not even jalapeno. Its constituent substance Resiniferatoxin on the Scoville scale (stinginess) has 16 billion. units. It can kill all nerve endings, which is why it can be used to reduce pain..

Scientists have found that if you enter it into the body, a channel will open in the nerve endings through which an increased influx of calcium passes. As a result of oversaturation with calcium, the nerve is inactivated, which is responsible for pain, but other feelings do not disappear. The patient will get rid of the pain, but will still feel touches to the body.. However, before an injection, you will still need regular anesthesia..

During the study, the effect of the substance was tested on sick dogs with problems in the knee joints.. Thanks to one such injection, the pain in the animal disappeared for five months..

A plus of resiniferotoxin was the fact that it does not need to be used often, it is not addictive, it affects only the area where it was introduced, and does not have narcotic properties. In addition, he can help patients with advanced cancer.

Scientists from the University of Cambridge believe that you can use cold water as a powerful anesthetic..

In their opinion, this method is also effective and has no side effects..
