Can I Drink Ceremonial Cacao Every Day?

The short answer is no - we don’t recommend drinking Ceremonial Cacao every day.

At Australian Ceremonial Cacao, we live by the golden rhythm of six days on and one day off, and we follow this philosophy for all our herbal and plant-based protocols at home.

When you’re ingesting a herb or natural medicine for its beneficial properties, it’s important to give your body one day each week to rest and reset. This pause helps your system integrate the medicine’s effects and prevents you from becoming resistant or desensitised to it, the same principle applies to supplements and medications.

Cacao is a sacred plant medicine. She works in partnership with you, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

By giving yourself one day off a week, you allow your body to recalibrate, your nervous system to rest, and your relationship with Cacao to stay intentional rather than habitual.

This rhythm helps you remain sensitive to her energy and guidance. When you return after a day of rest, you’ll notice her presence again, stronger, deeper, and more alive within you.

If you’re journeying deeply with Cacao at home, connecting through daily Ceremony, journaling, prayer, or meditation, that one day of rest is even more essential.

It’s your integration day. A moment to pause, reflect, and let the insights settle into your body and your life.

Remember: Ceremony isn’t just what happens when you drink the Cacao, it’s also what unfolds in the silence, the stillness, and the days in between.

When we overuse any plant medicine, we risk dulling its effects or bypassing its wisdom. Cacao’s purpose is to help us come back into balance, not to replace balance with dependency.

Our 8g Heart-Shaped Ceremonial Cacao is handcrafted in Australia from 100% pure Peruvian Chuncho and Criollo beans — blessed and infused with intention for your home practice.
