The first painkiller used by humans is believed to be willow bark, which contains salicin, a compound that is converted to salicylic acid in the body. Salicylic acid is a precursor to modern-day aspirin, which is a widely used pain reliever. Willow bark has been used for centuries in traditional medicine to reduce pain and inflammation.
