They are apparently good for treating pain, even chronic pain, and this was know to some civilisations thousands of years ago.
Anteros, a freed slave of the Roman emperor Caesar Augustus, had decided it was a good day for a walk on the beach. Damp sand stuck to his bare feet as he walked, probably deep in great thoughts about matters that continue to remain a mystery, when he felt shock travel from his foot to the rest of his body, knocking him out of breath. The source of the shock, upon close inspection, was a live torpedo ray.
“Although he initially suffered an excruciating cramp, the pain he had long endured from what might have been gout miraculously disappeared,”
Migraine and epilepsy were also treated with it.
