I’ve had a 6-year history with drinking Cacao as a ritual and in ceremony. And a lifelong history with eating and drinking chocolate, of which cacao beans are the primary ingredient. I owe a lot to the Cacao plant and its medicine. A few of the biggest changes that I’ve noticed is an ever-increasing love and acceptance of myself and a courage and creativity that has been unleashed within me over the past year. In 2022 alone, I racked up the courage to listen to my intuition and quit my nursing job, sold my house, started a business, healed from depression, and asserted myself into this world without apology. Cacao has been there all along to show that I can shine in this world- that I AM worthy of receiving all the good this life has to offer. We all are worthy of this.
For too long, I was fearful of what others thought of me and I felt unworthy of my own existence. I’m sure that many of you know how this feels, and it’s not only a lie, it’s detrimental to the Self and serves no purpose. We are all worthy to be here and to feel validated. If you’re suffering from a wounded heart, let Cacao Medicine be your guide.
Cacao is a plant native to Central and South America, which has been cultivated for thousands of years for its edible seeds. Cacao beans are the primary ingredient used to make chocolate, but they are also consumed on their own and used in various forms in traditional herbalism.
Here are some benefits of Cacao:
Overall, Cacao is a versatile and beneficial plant medicine with many health benefits. It’s important to choose high-quality, minimally processed Cacao products in order to maximize its health benefits. I have been using “Kakao” products from FlyKakao.com for the past 6 years because I love their products and mission/vision. There are other products out there too that you can get at your local grocery store or online. I have used other products as well through the years and find that adding cacao to my morning smoothies is also a big win and makes me feel great!
