This is a dilution of 25% Cocoa Absolute in jojoba. Not for use in a diffuser.
The Latin name for cocoa, theobroma cocoa, was named by botanist Carl Linnaeus and means “Food of the Gods.” Cocoa was widely accessible throughout ancient South America where it was used not only for consumption, but also for medicinal and ritual purposes. In Mayan culture, the cocoa bean was heavily revered and became a form of currency. The warm, sweet and rich scent of cocoa absolute can be used in a blend to evoke the smell of chocolate.
Cocoa absolute may ease addictive patterns and reduce cravings. Emotionally, it may be used as an aphrodisiac, to reduce anxiety and stress, or to warm the emotions.
