Cocoa Husk Tea

You can use this versatile ingredient in different settings:
In food for human consumption.
As a nutritional supplement for animals.
As an organic fertilizer for the earth.
What are the health benefits?
Due to its multiple properties (it is rich in magnesium, oleic and linoleic acids, vitamins and pectins) we recommend using it:
For gastrointestinal health
It has a high digestive potential which works by eliminating harmful bacteria from our intestine. Its high pectin content makes it a powerful intestinal adsorbent which, together with the pectin also present in the peel, helps purify the body by eliminating toxins, and prevents colon cancer. It is also recommended as an effective treatment against diarrhea.
♦ For tiredness, weakness and asthenia caused by magnesium deficiency
Due to its high magnesium content, it is useful for treating fatigue, weakness and cramps, as well as nutritional deficiency of magnesium.
♦ For inflammation and fluid retention.
Theobromine has diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, it is recommended as a complementary treatment in cases of fluid retention or edema. 
How is this prepared? The indicated formula is a decoction twice a day: one tablespoon of cascarilla per dose. You can sweeten it with honey or with a little sugar.
♦ As a coffee substitute
Thanks to the action of theobromine, which is a mild energizer, it can serve as a substitute for coffee, producing less anxiety disorders.
♦ As a source of dietary fiber
The use of cocoa shells in products such as cookies, cakes, and chocolate dietary supplements (low in calories and high in fiber) has been found to help reduce gastrointestinal disorders, prevent chronic degenerative diseases, and reduce calorie levels as well as cholesterol and blood glucose.(Google traduccion):
