If you are suffering from arthritis, you will want to have several pain relieving options at your disposal. Things such as exercise and stretching does help, as do traditional pain relievers, but you can only work out so much and you should not take too many traditional medications, so what to do?

Increasingly, some people find that the answer lies in the ingredients found in hot peppers. Rather than always turn to products for pain relief that contain harsh chemicals, there are more natural pain relievers such as what is found in peppers.

As we all know, there are some unusual folks out there who enjoy eating red-hot peppers, some that are so hot they are known as superhots and nuclear. The hottest of these are so hot that they hit an average of more than one million Scoville heat units, which measure the amount of heat in peppers, which is based upon the amount of capsaicin, which is what makes peppers hot. A jalapeno, by comparison, has only about 5000 Scoville heat units.

What's interesting about this related to pain relief patch is that when people eat really hot peppers, there is a huge endorphin rush in the body, which affects how our bodies perceive pain.

It is that endorphin rush that makes capsaicin so effective as a pain reliever, according to medical experts. The endorphin rush basically works to block the feeling of heat in the body. The body produces endorphins in response to the high heat, which is what the body senses as pain.

Capsicum plaster  is very effective for reducing arthritis pain, and also is useful for various types of neuropathic pain and dermatologic problems that include painful itches. Topical capsaicin cream can be rubbed into the skin in the affected area, which is then absorbed into surrounding tissue. Exactly how this works is not totally understood. It is believed that capsaicin reduces the ability of the nerve cells to transmit pain signals to our brain. When that transmission is blocked, we experience temporary pain relief.
