It’s called “Anger Powder.” The idea, as you can probably tell from the ingredients, is that it purges or “exorcises” anger from your being, so it’s a good idea to invoke peace, serenity, or the like after using it.
Equal parts: Asafetida, Black Pepper, Chili or Cayenne Powder, Sulfur Powder; proportions may be modified as desired.
Possibilities for use are sprinkling in an area or burning on coals (outdoors! and don’t breathe the fumes). I just rub a bit on my chest, letting it fall to the ground. Despite being a somewhat high-strung fellow, I find that I’m immediately calmed when I do this and tend to have more peaceful days.
Be aware, asafetida smells horrible to some people, and sulfur has a strong, lasting odor.
