  • Anodynum (von griechisch α(ν)- „nicht, un-“ und οδυνη „Schmerz, Qual“; auch Anodynon) ist eine – heute veraltete und nicht mehr gebräuchliche – Bezeichnung für ein schmerzstillendes Mittel oder auch Narkosemittel. In einer Zeit, als chemisch-synthetische Arzneistoffe noch nicht verbreitet waren, fielen darunter hauptsächlich Zubereitungen oder Stoffe aus pflanzlichen Drogen wie z. B. Opium und das aus daraus gewonnene Morphium und Codein, indischer Hanf, Gift-Lattich, Tollkirsche, Kalabarbohne, Stechapfel, Bilsenkraut, Schierling, Bittersüß, Sturmhut, Nieswurz, Mandelbaum, Herbst-Zeitlose. Bekannte Anodyna sind das Anodynum specificum des Paracelsus, eine Opium-haltige Mixtur, und der Liquor anodynus mineralis (Hoffmannstropfen). Unguentum anodynum bezeichnet eine schmerzstillende Salbe. In „Parerga und Paralipomena“ bezeichnet Arthur Schopenhauer Kants Postulat der praktischen Vernunft als Surrogat der Beweise des Daseyns Gottes, wodurch der Königsberger Philosoph, um nach dem der spekulativen Theologie gegebenen Todesstoß den Eindruck zu mildern, ein Besänftigungsmittel, als Anodynon darauf habe legen müssen.

  • An anodyne is a drug used to lessen pain through reducing the sensitivity of the brain or nervous system. The term was common in medicine before the 20th century, but such drugs are now more often known as analgesics or painkillers. The term anodyne derives from Greek anōdynos (ἀνώδυνος), from an- (αν-, "without") and odynē (ὀδύνη, "pain"). Etymologically, the word covers any substance that reduces pain, but doctors used it more narrowly. Some definitions restrict the term to topical medications, including herbal simples such as onion, lily, root of mallows, leaves of violet, and elderberry. Other definitions include ingested narcotics, hypnotics, and opioids. In the 19th century, the primary anodynes were opium, henbane, hemlock, tobacco, nightshade (stramonium), and chloroform. Certain compound medicines were also called by this name, such as anodyne balsam, made of castile soap, camphor, saffron, and spirit of wine, and digested in a sand heat. It was recommended not only for easing extreme pain, but also for assisting in discharging the diseased tissue that caused or occurred with the pain. In literary usage, the word has escaped its strictly medical meaning to convey anything "soothing or relaxing" (since the 18th century) or even anything "non-contentious", "blandly agreeable", or unlikely to cause offence or debate.

  • Anodyna (z gr. αν + οδυνη; anódynos – "uśmierzający ból") – środek zmniejszający lub uśmierzający ból. Nazwa ta obejmuje przede wszystkim środki narkotyczne: opium i jego pochodne, belladonna, lulek itp., prócz tego środki odurzające, znieczulające ogólnie: eter i chloroform. Powszechnie w przeszłości nazwą tą określano tzw. "krople Hoffmanna" (Liquor anodinis Hoffmanni), tj. mieszaninę eteru tzw. "siarczanego" ze spirytusem (czyli roztwór alkoholu etylowego i eteru etylowego), zwaną w XIX wieku "wyskokiem eteryczno-siarczanym". (pl)
