Emotionally it helps to lift the spirits, dispels stagnation, bringing fire to the soul, the Fire Element is associated with feelings of Joy and Sadness.
Cayenne pepper is best for people who tend to be cool, especially those with cold hands and feet. Great to consider if you’re experiencing a damp, snotty cold.
