Unlike some other plant medicines, there are no psychedelic effects, however, it is psychoactive, as it crosses the blood brain barrier and releases all those juicy endorphins! I drink it everyday, and I haven’t had coffee in years.

Theobromine is what is responsible for this effect, and works on your cardiovascular system rather than your nervous system(caffeine)
A gentle, calm focus.

Cacao is actually also a superfood ranking the highest plant containing the most iron(actually healed my anemia drinking this) but it’s a heart healing medicine that is still used ceremonially across the globe (and very common at retreats)

It’s what chocolate is made from, but our chocolate is only about 10 percent of this…

It goes straight to the brain with all the happy endorphins and serotonin to name a few, expands your blood vessels rather than constricting them like coffee, energizing you and relaxing you at the same time:)
(I sip on antidepressants all day)😁

On an energetic level, it works on the heart chakra and helps in third eye opening, very useful with meditation, Boosts creativity and connection to spirit!

When I make the batches I sing to it, pray to it and bless it(as taught to me)(This recipe is from a Shaman in Columbia)

I have been working with several different medicines now and I am passionate about the healing possibilities and the wisdom they hold.

Cacao is definitely one of them🙏"- Cindy

Amazing Benefits

Cacao, often referred to as "The Food of the Gods," has been consumed for centuries for its rich flavour and potential health benefits. Here are ten amazing benefits associated with cacao plant medicine:


Rich in Antioxidants: Cacao is packed with powerful antioxidants, such as flavonoids and polyphenols, which help combat oxidative stress and protect cells from damage.

Mood Enhancement: Cacao contains compounds like phenylethylamine (PEA) and serotonin precursors that may contribute to improved mood and feelings of well-being.


Heart Health: The flavonoids in cacao may have positive effects on cardiovascular health by promoting healthy blood flow, reducing blood pressure, and improving cholesterol levels.


Brain Function: Cacao contains natural stimulants like theobromine and caffeine, which can enhance cognitive function, increase alertness, and improve focus.

Mineral Rich: Cacao is a good source of essential minerals such as magnesium, iron, potassium, and zinc, which are vital for various bodily functions, including muscle function and immune support.


Anti-Inflammatory Properties: The flavonoids in cacao possess anti-inflammatory properties, potentially reducing inflammation in the body and supporting overall health.

Aphrodisiac Qualities:Cacao has been traditionally associated with romantic and aphrodisiac properties, possibly due to the release of endorphins and the presence of compounds like anandamide.


Energy Boost:The natural compounds found in cacao, including theobromine, can provide a gentle energy boost without the jittery effects associated with caffeine.

Regulates Blood Sugar:Cacao may have a positive impact on blood sugar levels, potentially helping to regulate insulin sensitivity.
