I have always found capsaicin good for a number of common ailments.
It seems to work at least as well as aspirin as a pain reliever.
It also seems to relieive ulcer type symptoms.
A good source of capsaicin is the jalopena pepper.
They work better raw.
It takes about three large peppers per day to produce a good medicinal effect.
Because jalapenas are quite hot there is a technique for eating them.
The best way I know of is to coat the inside of the mouth with olive oil before ingesting the peppers.
Actually any type of fat will do, but olive oil has a good reputation with people who claim they know a lot about nutritian.
One large jalapena three times a day will cure almost anything, at least thats what I've heard.
