Why Cacao?
​
Recent research has shown that the high-flavanol cacao can help increase the number of circulating stem cells in the body. These are the cells that support natural healing and tissue repair.
It supports lower blood pressure, can improve cognitive function and could reduce mental fatigue. Cacao contains compounds such as phenylethylamine and tryptophan, which support the production of endorphins and serotonin. These compounds can help lift your mood and reduce anxiety.
Spiritually, cacao has a long history of being used in ceremony and ritual. In modern ceremonies it is used for intention setting, heart-opening and inner self-connection. It's said to promote love and compassion, whilst facilitating heightened states of awareness.
