From 1000 A.D and 1100 A.D, Inca and Aztecs respectively used medicinal anesthetics to assist patients. The Indigenous peoples of Southern Arizona, Northern Mexico, and Virginia also had different ways of anesthetizing patients.

HELP!
We tried to tend to the wounds quickly, but stopped when she was screaming. She needs medicinal plant anesthesia.
What happened over here?
Everyone just heard a loud sound and ran to find help...With the injuries, she will need treatment.
She doesn't need surgery, but the ankle needs to be set.
Each nation used different medicinal plants based on the type of injury.
Oh, I really hope this doesn't hurt.
An hour later...
If you were wondering why you didn't feel any pain, it was because of the anesthetics given. It makes lots of procedures possible to complete.
You're all healed. The ankle is set and the wounds have been cleaned. So, it will take a few weeks to recover because everything was fairly minor.
Oh wow, I'm all healed; however, I didn't feel a thing. Surely it would have hurt a little.
