Theobroma cacao Absolute, food-grade solvent extracted from the powdered bean of the dried and fully fermented fatty seed of the cacao tree's fruit.
NOTE: This is 100% and I pack the 1mL size in a glass tube with a dipstick.
Aroma: Intriguing and delightful scent of the finest chocolate. The scent of this exquisite essential oil is at once mystical and magical.
History:
The beans from which this oil is extracted have one of the richest histories in the plant world: The word 'cacao' is ancient and likely originated with the pre-Mayan Olmec people. All chocolate is made from cacao, the seed of the fruit of the jungle tree, Theobroma cacao, which translates as food of the Gods. Native to Central American rainforests, the cacao tree was originally cultivated by these ancient earth walkers. Later harvested by the Mayans, Toltecs, and Aztecs, the seeds (also known as beans) were also used as a form of currency in Aztec society.
Suggested uses: Research shows that smelling cacao reduces levels of stress and anxiety. Cacao may also help to reduce cravings and addictive patterns.
Sensual, heady, and delicious while adding a hint of intrigue, cacao is an excellent ingredient in erotic formulations and love potions or combine with food-y and spicy essential oils for a delectable massage or bath oil.
Usage: Note that while Cacao absolute is perfect in creams and with other essential oils, it will sometimes separate from fixed oils. Cacao is a 'potentiator', enhancing the yumminess of the other essential oils with which it is blended.
Magical and Spiritual uses:
Cacao is known to open the heart chakra, healing on the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Use cacao essential oil to increase creativity and connection to your heart chakra.
