The term ‘pain’ generally defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, caused by intense or damaging stimuli [1]. At some points of life, everyone experiences pain. It is an enormous global health problem and has been estimated that one-fifth adults suffer from pain, globally [2]. There are many herbal medicines for natural pain relief and some of them have been approved in experimental studies [3,4]. Over the past two decades, there has been a tremendous increase in the use of herbal medicine worldwide. It has been estimated that threequarters of world population use herbal medicine. Despite this interest, there is still a significant lack of research data in this field [5-7].
