Effective remedy for calming a burning mouth after eating hot peppers

 Yogurt is one of the most effective remedies for calming a burning mouth after eating very hot peppers.

         My own experience confirmed this today.I swallowed a. Scotch bonnet pepper imported from the Dominican Republic whole and thought it was going to be mild.But within 30 seconds of chewing it,my tongue started burning and it felt my mouth was on fire.I expelled so much mucus from my nose it was unimaginable.Instinctively to counteract the burning sensation in my mouth I drank a glass of water.But it did not work and my mouth kept burning.Then I instinctively reached for a tub of yogurt in my fridge and scarfed up half a bowl of yogurt.At first there was no positive effect but within five minutes of consuming a lot of yogurt the burning sensation in my mouth gradually subsided.

             I heaved a big sigh of relief.Thank heavens for yogurt.
