4. Capsaicin

These compounds are what give hot peppers their spicy kick, and they have been used as a natural remedy for a wide range of maladies for hundreds of years. Capsaicin promotes the body’s production of a chemical known as Substance P. Fibromyalgia pain seems to increase when Substance P levels are low, so adding more peppers to your diet may help you manage the condition.
