Naturopathy of Chocolate: Chocolate as a Healing Food with Dr. Lisa Valent, N.D. and Kelsi Ervin. Throughout history, chocolate has been used as a healing herb. The Aztec nahuatl word “cacao” indeed meant “life-blood” because it endowed chocolate drinkers with so much vitality. One of the reasons chocolate was popularized in Europe in the 1800s was because pharmacists believed it had medicinal properties. Modern science is discovering more and more about the power of chocolate. Lower blood pressure with chocolate? Ease a cough? Improve your mood? Why not!? Naturopathic Doctor Lisa Valent and Bastyr University student Kelsi Ervin provide just a few more great reasons to eat chocolate every day.
