Guatemala Herbal Medicine Workshops provided by Ethical Fashion  Guatemala LLC offer participants the opportunity to learn about traditional healing practices and the use of medicinal plants.

Participants have the chance to interact with local healers, often known as “curanderos” or “herbolaros,” who share their expertise and wisdom.

During the workshops, participants may learn how to identify medicinal plants in their natural habitats, understand the properties and uses of different plants, and observe or participate in the preparation of herbal remedies. They may also gain insights into the spiritual and cultural aspects of herbal medicine and its integration into traditional healing practices.

In addition to hands-on activities, workshops may include lectures, demonstrations, and guided field trips to explore the local flora and gather medicinal plants. Participants can also learn about the sustainable harvesting practices and ethical considerations associated with using medicinal plants.

Authentic Mayan Cacao CeremonyEthical Fashion Guatemala

Authentic Mayan Ceremony Cacao

/
What is the active ingredient in cacao?
One of the most known active ingredients in cacao is theobromine. This alkaloid is from the same family as cafeïne but works differently. Theobromine gives you energy, increases your heart rate, and dilutes your blood vessels at the same time, increasing circulation.
Authentic Mayan Ceremony Cacao What happens at a cacao ceremony?
Cacao ceremonies vary depending on the ceremony facilitator (or shaman). People usually sit in a circle and set intentions, pray, sing together with heartfelt music or sound healing, and then dance ecstatically or share as a group together. It is a fun, uplifting experience in a safe and open community. If you’re thinking about the psychedelic type of consciousness-altering “high”, then the answer is no. Ceremonial cacao in no way makes you feel “high” in the way a consciousness-altering indigestible like psilocybin or cannabis does.
