An ash, not cacao
The label describes burned cacao tree bark (“Naturally Burned Cacao Bark”): the part of the tree is the bark, and burning turns it into ash. It is therefore neither cocoa powder, nor cocoa beans, nor a rapé blend. The label mentions no other ingredient, and the supplier publishes neither a mineral content, nor a pH, nor a description of the burning process.
The cacao tree
Theobroma cacao is an accepted species of the Malvaceae. According to Plants of the World Online (POWO, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew), it is a tree of wet tropical habitats, native from Costa Rica to tropical South America, including northern Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. The Brazil given on the label is the country of the product; it does not say where the tree grew.
Jar and label
The photo shows a clear 50 g jar closed with a black screw lid, filled with a fine pale grey powder. The cream, black and olive-green label carries the Maya Herbs logo, “Cacao Ashes”, “Naturally Burned Cacao Bark”, Theobroma cacao, “50Gr” and the “Made in Brazil” seal. The other ashes sold on their own are grouped in the Ashes category.
Burning safely
Burn incense, resins, smudge sticks and palo santo in a well-ventilated room, on a heat-resistant holder (a dish, sand, or charcoal for resins), away from curtains and anything flammable. Always put out the embers before you leave the room.
Precautions
- Never leave anything burning unattended, and keep children and pets at a distance.
- Smoke can irritate the airways: air the room, and avoid use if you have asthma or a respiratory illness.
- Essential oils and floral waters: never swallow them and keep them away from the eyes; dilute oils before any contact with the skin, and seek advice during pregnancy.
- Plant ash is not meant to be inhaled: handle it with care.
Storage
Keep incense, resins and wood dry, in a closed container, away from light and heat, so that they keep their fragrance. Close oils and floral waters tightly after use.
