The spicy or pungent flavor is a great way to get things moving internally! This flavor is meant to make your eyes water, activate your taste buds, and make you sweat. It can provide instant relief to our upper orifices including our lungs, and nose. Improper use of this flavor can also damage our essential fluids and resources.
A dinner I will always remember was the one where my brother consumed five different hot sauces.
We were of college age on a family vacation in the Florida Keys.
While we sat for dinner, my brother was thrilled to learn about all the local island hot sauces. They were of varying temperature degrees of hot peppers. As the food came out, the hot sauce tasting began.
At first he seemed fine, expressing heat in his mouth and on his tongue. As he poured on more hot sauce with each bite, he began to sweat from the very top of his head, and then his forehead. He continued to dabble bits of hot sauce on each bite. Droplets of sweat appeared around his eyebrows. The sweat from the top of his head and forehead began to accumulate and drip down his face and neck. His cheeks became noticeably red, his nose was extremely runny, and sweat stains appeared under his armpits.
We were all laughing as he struggled to bear the heat of the local hot sauces. Eventually, he couldn’t eat anymore. He expressed that he couldn’t feel his tongue, lips or taste his food. He had to excuse himself from the table, walk around and grab a drink.
