In medicine before the 20th century, an anodyne (Greek ἀνώδυνος anōdynos < ἀν- an- 'without' + ὀδύνη odynē 'pain') was a medicine that was believed to relieve or soothe pain by lessening the sensitivity of the brain or nervous system. It is a kind of analgesic. Some definitions restrict the term to topical medications, including herbal simples such as onion, lily, root of mallows, leaves of violet, and elderberry.
