Of course, this takes planning and a day where one is not flaring too badly. Sometimes it takes imagination and always,an understanding significant other with good communication between the two of you. A sense of humor is essential too!

It is probably the rush they get from having it on your tongue. It is a endorphin rush mainly to reduce pain but it is a way to release endorphins. The hotter the pepper the more the endorphin rush. It might sound silly but, think positive thoughts, it is just like how people feel better even from a placebo. "When people take a placebo and they believe something's helpful, it often works," says Joel Fuhrman, MD, family physician and author of author of books including Eat for Health and Eat to Live. That's a direct result of the power of positive thinking, which can release endorphins that may actually ease pain even if a medication is physically ineffective according to Dr. Fuhrman. He also HIGHLY recommends orgasms. He says that they are the best and most effective endorphin rush. Additionally enforphin rushes can be obtained from scary movies or other fear, art, music, theatre, accupuncture, chiropractic services (which are NOT RECOMMENDED FOR THOSE WITH AS according to the Arthritis Association), soak up some sunshine and laugh even if it is at nothing or laughing at yourself.
