To be in a state of not feeling overt pain. A state of anti-inflammation.
The name for a Schiff brand (trademark) joint supplement that was later pulled by the FDA - as it was too blatantly a health claim in the name of the product, later renamed.
In common useage now, the term can indicate any mode of feeling good or feeling a lack of pain ... be it physical, mental, emotional, etc.

"Home Sweet Home."
Candy/sugar highs or lows (the blues) can strike at home, anytime.
Nonetheless, as the cliche goes, "There's no place like home." Sometimes its' sweet, and sometimes being at home gives you the blues ... like sugar can be sweet or not - and make you crash.
Still, home is "As Good As it Gets." We can be our best, or our worst. And get the best, or worst, treatment too ...

Named for the action of Hansel (and Gretel) from "Hansel and Gretel," the Grimms' fairy tale, as they dropped stones or bread, in turn, to mark their path through the forest.
Forms may include: Hanseling (or lower case, hanseling), a verb; to hansel, a verb; or Proper noun, Hansel (meaning one who drops carelessly in described manner, or any variation of such).
Hanseling is the term used when items, carelessly or purposely, are dropped (possibly in a meandering or careless path-like manner) as a man or boy walks; Greteling is the identical term when a woman or girl walks and drops items in similar manner.
So there is the male version: Hanseling. The female version: Greteling. Either caps or lowercase: Hanseling or hanseling; Greteling or greteling.
The term was initially used years ago when small boys would fail to stay put at meals, and would carry their meals or snacks around the house, haphazardly dropping crumbs or chunks of food in paths around the house.
The term not only includes eating and dropping crumbs, but can broadly include dropping any item (such as clothes, paper, trash, etc.), often in an unthinking or inconsiderate manner.
It can further include not wiping ones' feet at the door, and hanseling mud throughout the home. Etc.

100% TRUE STORY: After trying repeatedly to semi-successfully engage in conversation with Frances Fisher (former lover of Clint Eastwood) at Whole Foods Market in Hollywood, a stargazer knew her label ... when Ms. Fisher said loudly, winking, to the cashier as the "stargazer" followed her in line: "What kind of lily is that (pointing to a bunch of lilies for sale at the register)?" The cashier loudly said in reply, winking back Ms. Fisher, while looking at the "stargazer" gawker ...
"It's a Stargazer."
She knew then, that she had overstepped her boundaries with the celebrity, and was a true Stargazer.
