In small doses it can help relieve serious pain. Let's see…" she paused for a moment as she tried to figure out the best way to describe it. "It's a small shrubby plant, it's only maybe 5 or 6 inches tall and you can usually find it growing under evergreen trees and shrubs. The leaves are dark green and oval shaped.
