Cordyalis Yahhusuo (YHS) is a root extract from a flowering herbal plant that has long been used as a pain treatment. But not a lot of research has been done to understand fully how it works to fight different degrees of pain and there is more to be learned about its molecular mechanisms.
It can reduce chronic neuropathic pain that common medicines struggle to treat. YHS is able to maintain its potency overtime. Olivier Civelli, professor and chair of pharmacology at the University of California says, “YHS is not a highly potent medicine when compared to morphine. But I would propose that it can be used for low to moderate chronic pain.”
