It is not a painkiller.

It is a kind of enzyme that is produced in the pancreas and and aids in our digestion.

As a medicine it has a various applications:

1) A digestive aid

2) An anti-inflammatory

3) To break down mucous (this is my personal experience; my son got bronchitis in China and they had him inhale it to break down his clogged lungs)

I have read that there are a number of other uses, but from what I understand these are the primary ones.
