Ancient Greek physician Dioscorides — the first person known to have used the word “anesthesia ” — attributed anesthetic powers to potions made from mandrakes and wine.
Muistne kreeka arst Dioskorides, kes teadaolevalt tarvitas esimesena sõna „anesteesia ”, omistas valuvaigistava toime alraunijuurtest ja veinist valmistatud ravimjookidele.
