Capsaicin, a chemical component found in chili peppers, helps reduce the production of a brain chemical called Substance P. As a result, the reduction of these nerve cells of the neurotransmitter (Substance P) relays fewer pain sensations to the central nervous system, thus short-circuiting the perception of pain to the brain cells. Many arthritis creams have Capsaicin in them, but relief can also be achieved by eating peppers or drinking water or juice flavored by 10 to 20 drops of Tabasco sauce.
