Capsaicin is good for arthritis and muscle aches. Capsaicin is derived from hot chile peppers, and when placed into a topical cream, gives many people relief from the pain of arthritis or muscle strain. Capsaicin works by depleting a substance that helps transmit the sensation of pain from the peripheral to the central nervous system, so it may take a few days before you experience relief if you have not used capsaicin before.
