Protection from Heart Disease

Antioxidants: Raw cacao is indeed rich in antioxidants, particularly flavonoids such as epicatechin. These antioxidants can help neutralize free radicals and reduce inflammation, potentially benefiting heart health by improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure.

Minerals: Raw cacao contains minerals like magnesium, potassium, and calcium. These minerals are beneficial for vascular function and may help reduce the risk of hypertension and atherosclerosis.

Balance Blood Sugar Levels

Magnesium and Chromium: Raw cacao is a good source of magnesium, which plays a role in glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Chromium, another mineral found in cacao, can also help regulate blood sugar levels. Therefore, including raw cacao in the diet may indeed support balanced blood sugar levels, benefiting diabetics and those on weight loss programs.

Natural Mood Booster

Phenylethylamine (PEA) and Theobromine: Raw cacao contains phenylethylamine (PEA), a compound that can stimulate the release of endorphins and dopamine, potentially improving mood. Theobromine, another compound found in cacao, has stimulating effects similar to caffeine but milder, contributing to increased alertness and mood enhancement.

Skin-Loving Superfood

Antioxidants: Raw cacao contains antioxidants like flavonoids (including catechins and procyanidins) and resveratrol. These antioxidants can help protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by UV radiation and other environmental factors, potentially improving skin health and appearance.

Plant-Based Iron Source

Iron Content: Raw cacao does contain iron, which is essential for red blood cell production and overall energy levels. Adequate iron intake is necessary for emotional health and serotonin production, supporting the statement about being a plant-based iron source.

Invitation: This Medicine begins to work on you the moment you become curious. Use this invitation to connect with the ancient Meso-American lineage as you ask permission to Mama Cacao and all of those who have come before to pave the way. Connect to the Heart of the Sky, the Heart of the Land, and the Heart of your Body with humility and respect and ask permission to give your gifts. This Medicine is traditionally associated with the Feminine aspect, so feel into your ability to feel, to nurture, to Love first. 

This pure Ecuadorian Medicine has many gifts to give if you are willing to offer yourself. Offer prayers to your family and loved ones, offer your Service to those who you know need it, offer the contents of your Heart to those who are present, offer some of your Cacao back to the Earth as that may be the sweetest gift of all. However this looks for you and your loved ones, listen to the Heart and allow it to guide.

10-15 g. for a daily dose, 30-40 g for Ceremonial dose (which is the equivalent to the amount of beans in one fresh pod)

Connect with your previous intention/prayer, speak aloud what wants to be spoken, then inhale, sip, exhale and watch your prayers float up to the ether where all things are possible.
