Painkilling chemicals that occur naturally in the body are known as C. endorphins. This word is short for endogenous morphine, which means that this is a natural morphine that comes from within our body. This also means that it has a soothing effect that can either create an euphoric feeling in a person, or reduce any pain that a person may experience.
