chile to heal your body

Chile holds a significant cultural and culinary value for the Maya civilization, and has been deeply integrated into their ancestral milpa system for millennia. Chile is not only loved for its delicious strong flavor, but also for its ability to enhance the absorption of specific nutrients.

Chile has long been used as a medicinal plant. The Ajq'ijab, or Maya spiritual guides, recommend consuming chile to prevent future illnesses caused by disharmony with one's environment or to guard against potential negative energy.

Chile to awaken your spirit

In a spiritual sense, chili has the power to activate and energize you. Throughout ancient times, cacao recipes with chilies have been used to seek this activation.

The Maya incorporate chili into their daily routine, specifically suggesting the use of Chile Cobanero for Kan days and Chile Chocolate for Aj days when preparing cacao (see recipe below).

Both Aj and Kan energies are potent, and the chili plays a vital role in facilitating the elimination of toxins through sweat—a practice deeply embedded in Maya culture and traditions.
