Ive been doing reaserch on how to increase our bodies natural endorphins all I could find was that hot peppers capcasin increases endorphins but for how long? Could it upregulate the receptors ? this will be used to enhance mood...

Here is some more info on this subject. What the deal with hot peppers?

I think this could definitely work. I would also love to see a study on the use of hot peppers as a possible therapy for self harm.

Neversickanymore we seem to stumble on the same stuff. Anyway I was just discussing this with a friend of mine. She had no idea why she felt so good after a good hot pepper binge. I love that wave of happiness. It cracked me up to see how surprised she was to finally find out. More people should be aware of this. I would totally participate in a study as long as the peppers are free

I think I love inflicting pain on myself. Especially when it comes to spicy foods.

I love drinking whole bottles of hot sauce. It feels pretty good tbh, though obviously not as good as opioids.

I remember when I ordered the hottest curry from the Indian takeaway (think its called phal) and even tho I was in pain I was enjoying it too. people was saying I don't look like I'm enjoying it but I love it.

don't enjoy it coming out the other end tho, ouch!..
