The sachet mix contains capsaicin. Capsaicin is what's in normally found on chilli peppers. What really happens is capsaicin binds to a class of pain receptors called TRPV1 found in the mouth, the tongue and the digestive tract. This tricks your brain into give your a sensory perception of burn and pain.Capsaicin is considered alkaline (even though pH is a little bit towards acidic) so by adding a bit of lime/lemon could help to partially neutralize it.</blockquote>
