Do spicy foods really help in progressing labor?

I'm asking this for a friend.

She is 39 weeks 6 days and lost her mucous plug 4 days ago. She is miserable, anxious and overall ready to have her baby girl! :) She has heard that eating spicy foods helps in progressing labor. Is this true? Has anyone tried this and been successful?

What else can she do to progress her to go into labor?

Thanks!
