Nowadays Cacao is mostly known as 'Heart Opener', the medicine for the heart. In the spiritual community, cacao is vastly used for its property in reaching a deep state of relaxation, and for highly increasing the connection with your own body. These are all common experiences, but the thing that has most intrigued and made me passionate is that there is a proven physicality in its own natural chemistry/biology, that determines that cacao is not only a 'woo-woo' plant used by shamans.

Cacao is a superfood, a natural booster. It contains Theobromine which is a stimulant substance, that's milder and has about a quarter of the stimulating power of its sister molecule, caffeine.

Different from coffee, cacao acts as a vasodilator supporting blood flow through the heart and around the body. Increasing the blood circulation (NOT the pressure!), and so the oxygenation in the body increases, the blood vessels dilate, and cacao delivers this physical sense of expansion of the heart, and relaxation, especially in the chest area, eventually helping with sleep and releasing the tension accumulated in the body. That's why ultimately we call cacao the Heart Opener medicine.

This is really the key point in how pure cacao paste (aka liquor) helps to align ourselves with the body, mind, and spirit.

This special fruit naturally shifts our Consciousness, and that's why cacao is one of the most ancient plant medicine ever used by shamans from Central and South America.

Cacao is not a psychedelic plant, but a psychoactive instead. It means that naturally, it gives you access to feeling a state of inner harmony, peace, bliss, happiness, and joy until you almost reach a euphoria blessing!
