No one is entirely sure ‘how’ it works. We know that it interacts with the chemicals in the brain and different chemical have different reactions. But until we understand how the brain works, we won’t fully understand.

In a basic sense, anesthetics inhibit neurotransmitters and cause the brain to partially shut down.
