Tribal Moon Cacao for Moon Time Part Two: The Superfood Secrets of Ceremonial Grade Cacao for a Healthier Womb and Happier Menstrual Cycle  

Let’s face it, women love chocolate. A lot. Especially during moon time. But there is a healthier option to the highly processed and sweetened chocolates we have become accustomed to. Tribal Moon is pure, organic, richly nutritious, and delicious ceremonial grade cacao. It is helping women all over the earth in healing their hearts and wombs and in nurturing minds, bodies and souls for a more joyful menstrual cycle.

Tribal Moon Cacao is a potent and healing plant medicine for women during moon time. This is the second blog post in our Tribal Moon Cacao for Moon Time series. We will explore the superfood secrets of cacao and why it is beneficial for the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of a woman’s menstrual health.

As we know, moon time is a deeply personal part of a woman’s journey through life, and with an average cycle of 28 days (give or take some days for a lot of women!), it is with us for a huge part of our lives. As women, we have been gifted with this experience, but in our urbanised society and culture moon time can be unpredictable, painful, emotionally stressful, and confusing. It doesn’t need to be this way though. We now have access to plant medicines and superfoods such as ceremonial cacao which can deeply assist on all levels of our being.

Not only does Tribal Moon Cacao contain a generous spectrum of nutritional benefits to ease physical symptoms, but it also holds the multidimensional ability to smooth out the energetic, emotional, and spiritual sides of our moon cycle. Read on and introduce yourself to five of the major healing compounds of Tribal Moon Cacao that make it a perfect moon time superfood!

• Theobromine

Theobromine is a bitter alkaloid present in unrefined tea leaves, yerba mate, and kola nuts. It induces muscular relaxation of the smooth muscle tissue of the uterus which offers pain relief during the late luteal phase (the few days before moon time). Theobromine may contribute to reducing the sensations of heaviness and excessive abdominal inflammation and bloating.

• Tryptophan

Tryptophan is a building block of the neurotransmitter serotonin which is involved in mood enhancement, cognition, sleep regulation and sexual arousal. These benefits are helpful at any time during the menstrual cycle, particularly just before and during moon time when moodiness, fatigue, and ‘brain fog’ can become overwhelming.

• Magnesium

Magnesium helps the nervous system relax and is also good for uterine cramps. Not only does it gently relax the uterus; it has an effect on the whole body and assists in overall letting go of tension and stress. Because magnesium is chronically deficient in the Western diet and found in high amounts in cacao, it is a good way to enhance menstrual health. It also has a beneficial impact on brain function, especially memory and concentration. No more brain fog before and during moon time? Yes, please!

• Iron

Cacao is one of the most abundant plant foods found to contain iron. A necessary mineral for building healthy blood, this is essential for menstruating women. Iron is important because it is a major component of haemoglobin, the part of our red blood that carries oxygen. A lack of iron can lead to shortness of breath, dizziness, and fatigue. When a lot of blood is lost during moon time it is vital that it be replaced. Cacao is a wonderful means for achieving this.

• Phenylalanine

Phenylalanine (PEA) is an amino acid involved in creating dopamine, a neurotransmitter that can regulate mood. It stimulates both metabolism and the nervous system which can become strained during the premenstrual week. It is when hormone levels, particularly estrogen and progesterone are at their lowest. The PEA in cacao contributes to the ‘high’ we may feel, and can resemble the feeling we get when we are in love.

It is clear to see that Tribal Moon Cacao holds a vast spectrum of nutritional and superfood benefits. It would take a lot more than the scope of this post to explore them all! The five main compounds mentioned in this blog are found in abundance and are particularly healing for moon-time ailments. Theobroma Cacao is a powerful plant medicine and we only source the purest, strongest, and most vibrationally aligned produce for healing and ceremony.
