Do you like to drink coffee in the morning? Or do you prepare a chamomile or sage tea for yourself when you have a cold? Then you are already intuitively using the power of plants for your own life. On this page I would like to introduce you to two plants that have been an incredible game changer in managing my daily life: Cacao and Psilocibin. Maybe you discover something for yourself too...
Cacao
Raw cacao has been used by the native peoples of South and Central America for thousands of years as a sacred drink. They also call it the food of the gods. It is often consumed unsweetened and mixed with water. Cacao has many health benefits, making it the perfect companion for your morning routine: it is rich in antioxidants, minerals and healthy fats and has a positive effect on mood, concentration and creativity.
Psilocybin
In the Netherlands, the production of and trade with so-called "magic truffles" is legal. They contain the active ingredient psilocybin, which is used worldwide in controlled settings to treat conditions such as depression, panic attacks and chronic anxiety, ADHD or addiction. The long-term use of a low dose, the so-called microdosing, seems to achieve promising results, especially with treating chronic complaints. Unlike coffee, for example, psilocybin is not addictive. Psilocybin is psychedelic and induces visual hallucinations in increased amounts.
