A joint effort by scientists from Kazakhstan, Brazil, Ukraine, and Ireland, was able to discover that desert ginseng (Cistanche salsa) has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. This finding, which was published in The Brazilian Journal of Pharmacognosy, was based on the results of in vivo experiments conducted in mice.
Overall, these results show that desert ginseng has potential use as a natural pain reliever due to its anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive properties.
