All plants carry medicine. Since the dawn of civilization, humans have been using herbs, leaves, and roots as remedies to heal and treat a wide variety of illnesses. But when people talk of plant medicines today, they mostly refer to a specific category of natural substances used for spiritual development and/or as alternatives within the broad context of mental health therapy.
These types of plant medicines are known as entheogens. Entheogens are a class of psychoactive substances, which, taken in specific doses, release naturally produced chemicals in the body that can invoke a change in perception, mood, and consciousness. Entheos translates to "full of the god, inspired, possessed," and gen (from Genesthai) means "to come into being." An entheogen, therefore, causes you to become inspired or to experience feelings of spiritual inspiration.
So where does Keith's Cacao fit into all this? In this pure form, Cacao is one of the most potent yet gentle plant medicines. It has been used for thousands of years to support people in opening their hearts, receiving guidance, and integrating their healing process.
