Arthritis
In a 4-week double blind study of 70 patients with osteoarthritis, and 31 with rheumatoid arthritis, it was concluded that capsaicin cream is a safe and effective treatment for arthritis.
Another double blind study suggest that capsaicin is a safe and potentially useful treatment for painful osteoarthritis of the hands."
I use capsaicin cream but you have to be careful not to get it any where near your eyes. It's also very hard to wash off your hands, I use plastic gloves to apply it, so I wonder about using it on your hands. It works great and it will heat you up real good, it eases out the pain and it lasts for awhile. You don't want to use too much, it can blister, and some people are allergic to capsaicin. -

I read another article, not too long ago, in it the author said that eating any hot, spicy food elevated your body's metabolism by raising both heart and breathing rates. This would include Mexican, Thai, Indian and the Szechuan cuisines of Chinese food.

I was once advised to take the capsule form, and I started having unplanned, heavy, female bleeding. As soon as I stopped, the effect abated. Be careful with this stuff. And be very careful with the cream, because it will burn eyes, mucous membranes, and tender areas. I only put it on with a Q-tip when I've used it and made sure I put it in trash that kids and pets cannot access.
