This diverse plant can work with us on a physical, emotional and energetic level. Cacao is so bio available and can support us in many ailments. With ancient seeds the cacao craze has grown immensely in the health and wellness realm, and for good reason. But do you need to be spiritually attuned to participate in the joy of cacao? Irma believes cacao is accessible for everyone. Today I am speaking to Irma, creator of Mamamuti. An ethical premium organic cacao business based in sunny Raglan.
