Description
Here are some brief details on its resurgence as a medicine, its benefits and how to make a basic elixir.
Cacao was used in ritual and ceremony by our Mesoamerican ancestors and was considered sacred. It is interesting that the ritual and ceremonial use had been lost.
Cacao had been practically diluted beyond recognition into Chocolate confections with added fats and sugars which can detract from the magic. If you are here you probably already know the difference in vibration when you eat a dairy filled Chocolate bar compared to a minimally processed dark Chocolate…
The joy of Cacao was rediscovered by a man called Keith after he received a message from the Cacao spirit.
“Years ago while living in Guatemala, the Cacao Deva/ Spirit impulsed me to explore cacao. She reminded me I knew from most any guidebook that Cacao was one of the most powerful deities in ancient Mayan cosmology…”
This sent Keith on a quest to rediscover Cacao in its purest form. He researched thoroughly and came to realise it had not been used for decades as a plant medicine.
Cacao is regaining its reputation as a powerful yet gentle earth medicine.

Add a sweetener of choice to your preferred drinking consistency.

Heart conditions: cacao increases heart rate significantly, and is a vasodilator, opening blood vessels, increasing flow, and reducing blood pressure if it is high.
