About Cacao

Cacao is the raw, unprocessed form of chocolate that comes from the seeds (beans) of the cacao tree, *Theobroma cacao*. It has been used for centuries by ancient civilizations, particularly in Mesoamerican cultures, in spiritual ceremonies and as a medicinal food.


Benefits of Drinking Raw Cacao:

- Rich in Antioxidants:** Cacao contains high levels of flavonoids, which protect cells from damage and improve heart health.

- Mood Enhancer:** It boosts the production of serotonin and endorphins, which can elevate mood and reduce feelings of depression or anxiety.

- Mental Clarity and Focus:** Raw cacao contains theobromine, which gently stimulates the mind, promoting a sense of alertness without the jittery effects of caffeine.

- Heart Opener:** In spiritual practices, cacao is considered a "heart medicine," helping to open emotional channels and foster a sense of compassion and love.

- Enhanced Blood Flow:** The increase in circulation from cacao can lead to heightened energy and clarity during meditation or ceremonies.


Connection to Ancestors and the Spirit World:

Cacao is seen as a sacred plant medicine that helps open the heart and facilitate deep emotional healing. In many indigenous traditions, drinking raw cacao in ceremony is believed to create a space for connecting with lost loved ones and ancestors. By bringing people into a meditative and open-hearted state, cacao helps individuals tap into memories, emotions, and a sense of ancestral guidance, deepening their spiritual connection and sense of belonging to the larger cosmic family.
