What Is Ceremonial Cacao?

Cacao has been used for centuries in ceremonies as the ultimate heart-opening plant medicine. It is made from the heirloom strains of Cacao from Central and South America. Cacao does contain some amounts of natural caffeine and will create an uplifting, joyful feeling. Pure Cacao is packed full of vitamins and minerals. It increases blood flow to the brain which helps strengthen awareness and focus, and gives your immune system a boost while detoxifying your body.

Cacao is typically consumed as a warm drink in a community space to celebrate or give thanks. It's heart-opening effects truly bring people together. We feel this medicine is best for couples or groups/families. Uplifting and euphoric effects of this medicine typically last 30 minutes to an hour, with the caffeine effects varying depending on your body.

Cacao is legal in all 50 states of the US. We source our Cacao from Peru and Venezuela to ensure the tribes who bring us this medicine are benefiting directly.

What Is Cannabis?

Cannabis usage has been dated back to 2727 B.C. Of course, that’s only including what we have documented based on scientific research. It is one of the oldest recorded plant medicines being utilized by humans in history. Many cultures around the world have used this medicine for healing physical ailments as well as for religious and spiritual practices.

We are now discovering how cannabis can assist with processing emotional pain, trauma, and other mental health concerns. Though there are some side effects of cannabis, I highly recommend exploring the spiritual, mental and emotional benefits of this natural medicine. Effects of cannabis can last anywhere from 1-6 hours depending on your dosage and form of consumption.

Though we don't offer guided cannabis usage, we do occasionally offer educational classes and intentional cannabis use classes. Check our events page here to see if we have one coming up!

What Is Hapé?

Hapé (also called rapé) is a sacred, all-natural, shamanic snuff medicine used all throughout South American tribes. It is made by grinding pure Amazonian tobacco into a very fine powder with a variety of different herbs and plants such as tonka bean, camphor, mint, clover, and mixed with alkaline ashesh. It is administered by the practitioner blowing one small puff into each nostril of the participant through a serving pipe called a Tépi. It does create a small burning sensation for a few seconds and then subsides into a calm, fully relaxed state of being.

This medicine is frequently used throughout many indigenous cultures in coming of age ceremonies, celebrations, and even used to clear the sinuses during illness. This medicine can be used to cleanse out stagnant emotions and experience release. Hapé often produces a sense of clarity. It is not a psychedelic, but can induce mild out-of-body experiences. Effects of hapé can last anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours.

We source our hapé from various tribes in South America to ensure the people who bring us this healing medicine are profiting directly.

What Is Sananga?

Sananga is a powerful eye drop medicine. It is administered by the practitioner placing a drop on top of each eye while the recipient has their eyes closed. The recipient will then open their eyes slowly and allow the medicine to set in. It does create a burning sensation for a few seconds, and then begins to subside. This medicine is created from the roots and bark of the Tabernaemontana undulata shrub, which is a milkwood species in the Apocynaceae plant family. It comes from sacred tribes in the Amazon, particularly the Katukina, Matsés, Yawanawá, and Huni Kuin. It has been traditionally used to enhance vision prior to a hunt, Sananga is now used for its broader health benefits, both physical and spiritual. The burning effects of sananga usually subside after 1-2 minutes, with the slight potential for euphoria lasting up to 1 hour.

We source our sananga from various tribes in South America to ensure the people who bring us this healing medicine are profiting directly.

What Is Psilocybin?

Psilocybin is commonly known as the psychedelic component in certain strains of mushrooms. There are approximately 170 species of psilocybin producing mushrooms around the world, and that's just from what we have explored!

The healing powers of this medicine were discovered by the Mayan & Aztec people of Mexico. The ancient Romans and Greeks were also known for drinking a fungi-based tea that produced psychoactive effects called “Kykeon.”

Mushrooms are typically consumed in dried form or steeped as a tea, however experimentation has led us to find several other ways of consumption. You can often find chocolates, gummies, tinctures, capsules and similar options for simple and enjoyable consumption! Here at HCHC, we offer some easier ways to consume that don't disrupt your digestive system, for those who typically are unable to consume psilocybin in other forms. The effects of psilocybin can last anywhere from 2-8 hours depending on your dose and form of consumption.

What Is DMT?

N, N-Dimethyltryptamine is a natural chemical that occurs in a wide variety of plants and animals, as well as humans. DMT is naturally released when we sleep, and is often called, “the waking dream medicine.” DMT is the central component of Ayahuasca, which is used in South America among indigenous tribes.

DMT is now developed in labs by extracting the component from a variety of plants and condensing it into a wax or powder form. This medicine is usually smoked or vaporized and inhaled for the most effective results. The effects of this medicine typically last anywhere from 5-20 minutes, and the after effects of euphoria usually wear off within 30 minutes.
