The Mayan fruit of the gods now grows around the equator. The Maya saw it as a master plant with subtle effects and a plant of the heart.
Cacao contains many healthy active ingredients. Their best-known active ingredient is probably theobromine, related to caffeine. Theobromine has a stimulating effect and also contains a mood-enhancing effect.
The flavonoid in cacao is especially good for the heart as it promotes blood circulation. In addition, it contains a lot of magnesium and iron and, with amino acids, increases the release of our happiness hormones in the brain. The cacao plant supports the human sympathetic system - the joyful activation phase.
The ceremonial drunk cacao is not processed industrially, so all the good active ingredients of the cacao are preserved.
