What is Ceremonial Cacao?
Commercial chocolate has been stripped of its medicinal health benefits. However ceremonial cacao is 100% cacao straight from the bean which is ground down into what is known as the ‘cacao liquor'. Ceremonial grade cacao contains all the medicinal benefits as well as providing us with the opportunity to connect to the spirt of mama cacao.
Some of the benefits are:
- Enhanced Mood: Cacao contains compounds like phenylethylamine, which can promote feelings of euphoria and happiness, potentially boosting mood and reducing feelings of stress and anxiety.
- Increased Focus and Alertness: The presence of theobromine and caffeine in cacao can help improve mental clarity, focus, and alertness, making it a great choice for enhancing cognitive function.
- Heart Health: Cacao is rich in flavonoids, antioxidants that have been linked to improved heart health by lowering blood pressure, improving blood flow, and reducing inflammation.
- Improved Energy Levels: The natural stimulants found in cacao, theobromine can provide a gentle energy boost without the crash associated with caffeine in coffee.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Please avoid consuming cacao if you are taking SSRI’s - (Cacao releases serotonin, so it works as a mild anti-depressant. When taken with SSRI’s that release serotonin chemically it can lead to serotonin syndrome).
I suggest that pregnant woman and people with heart or high blood pressure Medic*tion should avoid it if they are caffeine sensitive. (if your are ok drinking coffee you should be able to drink cacao).
Hope to see you there!
