Does it have a name? Ancient Chinese secret? (In this case Japanese)
Come to think of it, I hadn’t heard about ring around the collar in a long time.....
Called “Adriana”...it stimulates a “adrenergic” receptor in the dorsal horn of the spinal column. This causes a release of noradrenaline which stimulate one of the pain relieving pathways. There are two drugs similar to that on the market ..clonidine and tizanidine......so we will see how good it is, whether there are other side effects, or drug interactions, etc...
Morphine, named after the Greek god, Morpheus (his parents were associated with sleep, rest, and relaxation)..morphine and other opiates to.have other effects beside pain killing...they produce euphoria, relaxation, and sleep, among other effects. People who are addicted to opiates are also addicted to the side effects, not only the pain relief..not to mention brain changes. This stuff should introduce more people to pain killing without addictive effects ..probably will not stop addiction in susceptible people.
FYI & IMHO
