The reason for the calming of pain is either something that breaks off and expels the cause that caused the pain, such as dill and flaxseed, if they are applied to the painful place, or something moisturizing and hypnotic, from which the feeling force goes deep and ceases to function; such as, for example, intoxicants. As for cooling substances, they cause numbness - such are all numbing agents. The true pain reliever is the first one listed.
Pain dissolves strength and prevents the organs from performing their special actions, so that it even prevents the breather from breathing, or makes a given action causing anxiety, or turns it into intermittent or continuous, that is, generally proceeding unnaturally. Pain first warms the organ, then finally cools it, dissolving the pneuma and causing the pneuma and life to flee.
