Description
Certified Organic cacao butter from Ecuador. Also know as Raw Cacao Butter. Unheated, 100% Arriba Nacional Variety, fermented for excellent chocolate flavour. Raw Cacao Nibs are pressed to make Cacao Butter and Powder.
Serrapeptase: It is a proteolytic enzyme that acts on fibroids and reduces inflammation by breaking down the complex proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. It is known to clear varicose veins.
Nattokinase: Unlike Serrapeptase, it is a fibrinolytic enzyme. Having a prominent effect on the cardiovascular system as it eats the calcium deposition in the arteries and veins. It directly acts on the site of thrombosis.
quercetin + vitamin c quercetin alone has anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic (anti-scarring) properties. Vitamin c has the capacity to recycle quercetin, increasing its efficacy.
neem helps to cleanse and cool the liver, which results in healthy bile production, cleaner blood, and a more flawless complexion.
DMSO works like an IV needle to pull other ingredients deeper into the dermis for maximum potency of each ingredient.
GINGKO BILOBA is a natural sunscreen, calms inflammation, + protects the brain.
schisandra upregulates important enzymes involved in detoxification.

benefits
cacao butter‘s rich supply of polyphenols can work its wonders on the inside as well as on the outside when applied to the skin. Polyphenols can help improve skin elasticity and boost collagen production, allowing your skin to keep its youthfulness and its natural glow. The qualities of cacao butter can also help keep your skin nourished and hydrated. The antioxidants in the superfood can help regenerate your skin, smoothing stretch marks and minor scars.
serrapeptase (vegan source) is a proteolytic enzyme were a real effective alternative in reducing inflammation. Serrapeptase is particularly good at helping with inflammation swelling and pain, in one study it was called ‘the super enzyme’ with a huge list of health benefits
Some of those incredible health benefits:
- Carpal tunnel
- varicose veins
- dissolve scars
- Swollen knee
- Hip Bursitis
- Shoulder bursitis
- Fibromyalgia
- Blood clots
- Swelling
- Arthritis
nattokinase Unlike Serrapeptase, it is a fibrinolytic enzyme. Having a prominent effect on the cardiovascular system as it eats the calcium deposition in the arteries and veins. It directly acts on the site of thrombosis. Nattokinase boosts brain function. Because nattokinase thins and cleans up the blood, the resulting improved circulation improves oxygenation to the brain. This can reduce brain fog and may lower the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
Because of its anti-inflammatory effects, nattokinase has been used to help with pain from arthritis, including that of rheumatoid arthritis. Women with painful cycles, especially if the pain is caused by fibroids or endometriosis, may find that their pain is reduced with a nattokinase supplement.
An essential role played by Serrapeptase and Nattokinase is the dissolution of the outer layer of cancer cells, which is known to be the protective layer. The action of these enzymes allows the body to take over the control by enabling the immune system and helping the cancer-fighting cells to activate.
Vision is improved with nattokinase. Nattokinase has been used to treat cataracts and eye floaters because of its ability to dissolve proteins and fibers that cause these eye issues.
This enzyme, like serrapeptase, also heals varicose veins. The blood thinning and oxygenating properties of nattokinase make it an appropriate remedy for varicose veins. Hemorrhoid sufferers will be glad to know that nattokinase works for hemorrhoids since hemorrhoids are a type of varicose vein.
quercetin + vitamin c quercetin alone has anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic (anti-scarring) properties. As of July 2022, there have been 9 published studies of quercetin against COVID-19. For the list of studies, check out c19quercetin.com. Quercetin is another natural treatment for blood clots and varicose veins. Quercetin and vitamin C also act as an antiviral drug, effectively inactivating viruses. There is evidence that vitamin C and quercetin co-administration exerts a synergistic antiviral action due to overlapping antiviral and immuno-modulatory properties and the capacity of ascorbate to recycle quercetin, increasing its efficacy.
Caution: Quercetin has one moderate drug interaction with warfarin. Do not take quercetin without medical advice if you are using warfarin.
neem soothes skin irritations and itchiness, boosts collagen production, repairs damaged photo-damaged skin, reduces hyperpigmentation, and has anti-cancer properties.
schisandra upregulates important enzymes involved in detoxification. And because immune system health and liver health are interrelated, schisandra’s anti-inflammatory compounds play a huge role in protecting against viral infections, tamping down stress and keeping the two systems working together.

where our tobacco leaves are grown + sourced
British Columbia, including areas like Vancouver Island, offers a wide range of growing zones (3–9) and micro-climates suitable for organic tobacco. The region is particularly well-suited for fast-maturing and resilient varieties, such as Aztec or Wild Tobacco, which are valued for their cultural and ceremonial uses.
We source our tobacco leaves from a local company in British Columbia. Their ceremonial tobacco is compliant with all provincial legislation and is sought after by institutions and individuals for gifting and protocol purposes. They ensure their tobacco is grown and processed according to strict organic standards, supporting the spiritual and cultural needs of BC’s Indigenous and ceremonial communities.
BC natural tobacco cultivated for ceremonial use is grown and processed using strict organic methods that exclude all additives and preservatives. Here’s how this is achieved:
Certified Organic Cultivation
The tobacco is grown on land that must be free from synthetic chemicals and pesticides for at least three years prior to planting, as required by the Certified Organic Association of British Columbia and Canadian Organic Standards.
Farmers often rotate crops to maintain soil health and fertility, and to minimize pest and disease pressure naturally.
Processing Without Additives or Preservatives
After harvesting, leaves are thoroughly dried and cured in warm, dry environments. This natural curing process develops the tobacco’s flavor and preserves it without the need for additives.
The final product is pure tobacco leaf—no chemicals, flavorings, or preservatives are added at any stage.
Certification and Quality Assurance
Regular inspections and certification processes ensure compliance with organic standards. Products labeled as “Certified Organic” in BC must meet both provincial and federal organic requirements.
This local company manufactures ceremonial tobacco by hand, using only certified organic leaves, and package their products in recycled materials to further support sustainability.
The tobacco species we selected for our patches we carefully chose with the assistance of the naturopath we work with. It contains the highest natural nicotine content. The species is Nicotiana rustica, commonly known as wild or Aztec tobacco. This species is recognized as the most potent strain of tobacco, with nicotine concentrations significantly higher than those found in the more commonly cultivated Nicotiana tabacum.
