Cocoa has long been associated with the gods, as well as with healing, fertility, and ecological harmony. It was used as currency, and its drink was available only to privileged society.
Cacao deeply nourishes our physical body. It is full of beneficial antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, trace elements and neurotransmitters to the point that the line between food and medicine becomes blurred. Cocoa triggers the production of dopamine, soothing symptoms of fatigue and depression. It is the only plant that contains anandamide, an endogenous cannabinoid that is known as the "bliss chemical" because it is associated with feelings of joy.
All of the above benefits you can only get from real "ceremonial cocoa," which is carefully cultivated on small, family-owned plantations.
Regularly working with ceremonial cocoa can have therapeutic health benefits, including creating new nerve pathways that change our daily experience, adding more joy and love.
Lots of love. Natema team ☀️🌿
