This was very interesting to read, thanks Nikko. My friends and family at Cedar Gulch are big fans of the sauna and cold shower tradition, we do it at least weekly throughout the winter. It is so excellent for relaxation and detoxification.
This was a thoughtful article. Your three examples: heat, language and spices supported the overall argument about perception and its inextricable tie to culture effortlessly. I enjoy essay style writing and this was done in a very digestible way; I admire its clarity.
Spices are something I have always aimed to incorporate into my diet. Although I grew up in a white-dominated area without a lot of my Mexican family around, my mom encouraged us to broaden our palette and not turn our nose up at strong spices. Just because something evokes a strong reaction within, it is not necessarily a negative experience. Intensity frightens people sometimes. I'm thankful I was raised to embrace intensity.

Oooh! Yes, that is so good for you! Yay, sauna!

Thanks for the thoughtful comment, Celeste! Yes, I was raised on intense and spicy food as well. Yum!
