The population was made up of all the patients who attended the consultation for pain (No. 42) and were diagnosed with reversible serous acute pulpitis. They were included in the study using the intentional non-probabilistic method according to the order of reception in the dental office. The variables taken into account were: age, pain refraction time and therapeutic effect. The statistical processing of the data was carried out using descriptive statistics and the percentage was used as a summary measure. Results: in 64.3% of the cases studied, pain remission could be achieved in the first 5 minutes of applying the phytopharmaceutical. Conclusion: the tincture of Petiveria alliacea Linn (anamu) at 20% has a favorable effect on the remission of pain caused by reversible serous acute pulpitis
