Abstract:
Volatile oil is widely distributed in Chinese medicinal materials with complex chemical components. The main components are terpenes， aromatics， aliphatics， and nitrogen and sulfur containing. It has a variety of pharmacological activities. Such as antibacterial， anti-inflammatory， analgesic， anti-tumor， anti-oxidant， anti-aging and so on. It is widely used in medical and health care， agricultural efficiency enhancement， and daily products. In recent years， there have been a large number of studies on the pain relief of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） essential oils， but there is no systematic generalization. The author found that the mechanism of TCM essential oils to exert analgesic effects mainly includes regulation of the central nervous system， anti-inflammatory and analgesic， antispasmodic and analgesic effects by consulting Chinese and foreign literatures in recent years， but the exact mechanism needs to be further verified. This article reviews the research progress of TCM essential oil pain relief from the aspects of pain classification， generation， analgesic mechanism and combination of other technologies， in order to provide reference for related research in the future.
