Did you know?

  • Traditional Andean medicine classifies foods and herbs as 'hot' or 'cold' based on their perceived energetic properties, even if the item is physically cold to the touch.
  • The word rupha is part of an agglutinative language, meaning you can attach multiple meanings to it in one long word to describe exactly what is hot and how it feels.
  • Unlike in English, where 'hot' describes both a boiling pot and a spicy chili, Quechua typically uses distinct roots to separate thermal heat from piquancy.
