About Cacao
What is Ceremonial Cacao?
Ceremonial cacao is more than just drinking hot chocolate— cacao is a sacred plant medicine with a rich history and profound purpose. For thousands of years, ancient cultures like the Maya, Olmec, and Aztecs used cacao in rituals to connect deeply with their hearts, their communities, and the spiritual world.
What makes ceremonial cacao so unique? Unlike the chocolate you’ll find in most stores, it is made from native, heirloom cacao beans that are unaltered and free from genetic modification. The process respects the integrity of the entire cacao bean, involving minimal processing and intentional craftsmanship to preserve its natural potency.
When used mindfully, ceremonial cacao serves as a powerful tool for opening the heart, fostering self-discovery, and nurturing a sense of connection. Ready to explore more? Click here to learn how you can bring the magic of ceremonial cacao into your life.
Benefits of Drinking Cacao
Whole cacao beans are packed with natural compounds known to inspire feelings of bliss, euphoria, love, and connection. These compounds include:
- Theobromine: A gentle stimulant that boosts energy and enhances focus.
- Tryptophan: An amino acid that supports the production of serotonin, promoting relaxation and happiness.
- Phenylethylamine (PEA): Often called "the love drug," it stimulates feelings of love and joy.
- Magnesium and Copper: Essential minerals that help reduce stress and support overall well-being.
- Anandamide: Known as "the bliss molecule," it contributes to a sense of happiness and euphoria.
These elements work together to create cacao’s unique ability to uplift the mind and open the heart.
