Capsiacain is not water soluble, but soluble in organic compounds.

Most notable are milk products, capsicain seems to react with the 
milk proteins. Yoghurt is the number one cooler. I always serve some 
yoghurt based side dish (fav - tzatziki).

Ethanol is useful to. Have a schnapps or a whisk(e)y.

Yes, water is useless, but still a cooler. Putting your mouth under 
the tap temprarily cools you off, but does not sustain.

Mediation works. Sit down and accept the pain. It will invade your 
brain and whole body, but you will eventually accept and love it....
