The first pain reliever invented was most likely alcohol. The inventor was not a person, but a class of bacteria that consume sugars and produce alcohol as a byproduct.

The other natural pain relievers from around the world included seaweed (which has a relative of aspirin), coca (from which cocaine is derived), poppy (from which opiates are derived), and hemp (marijuana). There are other natural products that have been used around the world since ancient times and have no human inventor.
