Truth to this---actually Capsicin, the heat-producing ingredient in  peppers 
has a lot of suspected medicinal value.  You can buy Capsicin capsules to 
take "for your heart health".  I think what they do is increase the rate of 
metabloism, dilate the blood vessels, and get everything "going" for a short 
period of time after ingestion.  Eating chilis is really good for loosening 
up a cold or congestion.  I like to sprinkle soup or whatever liberally with 
red cayenne pepper when I need things loosened up.
