Abstract
Pain is a conscious, unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with the existing (current) tissue damage. In general, pain is whatever the patient says it hurts. In the literature we can find many definitions of pain, but in life this is really the most uncomfortable feeling that occurs in the body, and therefore is not surprising that the best selling medicine today are drugs with analgesic activity (painkillers). One of the most commonly used conventional painkillers today is aspirin, and the main active substance is acetyl - salicylic acid. Salicylates like substances used to relieve inflammation and pain are more present in the nature than the people know. Natural salicylates rarely cause ulcers and other changes in the digestive tract. However, due to a number of side effects of synthetic painkillers, there is an increase of patients who are turning to traditional methods of treatment. In the nature we can find a large number of medicinal plants that exhibit analgesic effect. They are also a valuable source of substances of natural origin, potential analgesics. However, it should be noted that the use of medicinal plants, as the basis of folk medicine, is not always completely safe and without side effects. Therefore, attention should be directed towards a detailed study of the chemical composition and biological activity of medicinal plants in order to confirm its efficacy and safety of use as analgesics.

Summary
Jovana Kvržić Farmaceutski fakultet, Univerzitet u Beogradu, Vojvode Stepe 450, Beograd, Serbia. Zbog niza neželjenih efekata sintetskih analgetika, primetan je porast pacijenata koji se okreću tradicionalom načinu lečenja. Neprijatan senzorni i emotivni doživljaj koji je povezan sa postojećim (aktuelnim) ili potencijalnim oštećenjem tkiva [1]. Međunarodno udruženje za proučavanje bola, International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) [3], definiše bol kao: „neprijatno emocionalno i osećajno iskustvo povezano sa pravom ili potencijalnom povredom tkiva, ili uzrokovano tim oštećenjem ili povredom“. Svakako, najneprijatniji osećaj kod čoveka, pa ne treba da čudi što su upravo analgetici najviše upotrebljivani medikamenti današnjice [4]. Cilj ovog rada je da prikaže neke od biljnih droga našeg podneblja koje se tradicionalno koriste u narodnoj medicini za ublažavanje različitih vrsta bola, a za koje postoje i naučni dokazi koji podupiru takvu primenu
