Please note that high doses of ceremonial cacao have contra-indications. Please study the information below. In most cases, people will still be able to drink, but at half an average normal dose. 20g They will still feel the beneficial effects on a lower dose. For anybody who cannot drink the ceremonial cacao, you could also offer a much lighter organic delicious “hot chocolate” cacao drink. Remember, the spirit of cacao (the Cacao Deva) is just as important to work with as the ingestion of the medicine itself so everyone can benefit from joining in the ceremony.
It is essential that you contact me beforehand if any of these contraindications reflect your circumstances and you would like to take part in the ceremony. This means I can adjust your Cacao to your needs.

Taking SSRI’s, anti-psychotics.
Serious heart conditions.
Issues with blood pressure.
Taking morphine.
Diabetic.

Allergic to any food stuff – if you are planning to add any other ingredients, they must let you know if they have any allergies.

Side effects
Most people have a wonderful experience with cacao. There can be side effects such as nausea if you drink too much. The tyramine in cacao can also induce a headache if the person is on MAOI’s.
Cacao can also have laxative effects in high doses after drinking.
Advice for – Before and after a cacao ceremony – avoid a heavy meal. This will make it take longer to assimilate the cacao and might contribute to nausea.
The best results will come from fasting at least 3 hours before the start of a ceremony. Bring some fruit or a protein snack bar to eat afterwards to ground yourself.
Please do not eat huge amounts of food 2 hours before drinking ceremonial cacao.
Avoid caffeinated drinks such as coffee and also alcohol on the day of the ceremony.
Cacao contains caffeine, and if you have too much caffeine, you may not sleep well.
Drink plenty of water after the ceremony.
