Dive deep into the depths of yourself to discover your core wound and how to make peace with it once and for all, through the power and wisdom of ancient plant medicines.

We all have a core wound - a deep emotional pain that often stems back to a childhood event, and underlies the hurts, obstacles and limiting beliefs that keep us stuck in adult life.

If you're ready to let go and step into a new chapter, this could be the journey for you.

Your experience begins with your own personal Chiron reading by 8 Within's herbalist founder, Ifey. This reading is an exploration of your astrological natal chart to determine your Chiron placement, which shows the deep spiritual, emotional and, often, karmic wound that underlies the key challenges you face in life and the ultimate lesson you are on this earth to learn.

Once you place your order, please email hello@8within.com and share your:
  • date of birth
  • time of birth
  • city and country of birth

Ifey will share the results of your reading with you as a voice recording - giving you the opportunity to share your thoughts and confirm if the reading resonates. If it does, she will share her thoughts on the best herbs/plant medicine and type of cacao to support you with reconciling this wound on a physical, emotional and spiritual level.

In the rare event that the reading does not resonate or you have a different wound/intention you would like to focus on, you can share this with Ifey and she will recommend the best plant medicine and type of cacao for that intention.

Creating your journey kit is a collaborative process, so you will be invited to provide your insights and feedback every step of the way. These will then be used to create your bespoke 28-day kit.

Your kit will then be posted to you and you will work with your kit at home daily for a whole moon cycle, allowing you to go on a deep journey of self-exploration and discovery, emerging clearer, stronger and more at peace with yourself by the end of the journey.

This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any diseases. 

  • a Chiron reading - a specific type of astrological chart reading that identifies your core karmic/spiritual wound 
  • 560g of ceremonial-grade cacao (4 x 140g bags) - a variety of types of cacao are included based on the suitability of their properties with your needs. All kits include at least 1 x140g bag of a rare high-tryptamine cacao from the Ancash region of Peru. Tryptamine is known to assist with breaking habits/unhelpful patterns by encouraging neuroplastic change in the brain.
  • up to 50g of at least 2 different sacred plant medicines
  • a 30ml herbal/plant medicine tincture
  • in some cases, your kit may also include a 30ml flower essence.
  • a printed guide sheet explaining all you need to know about your kit and journey, including guidance on what to take, when to take it and how much to take

Made specifically with you in mind

Every kit is different and your herbs and cacao are chosen based on the findings of your Chiron reading and made to specifically address your needs.

In most cases, you'll also receive a bespoke cacao blend that has been formulated and hand made just for you.

The herbal tincture included in your kit is also handmade and formulated specifically for you.

Ifey creates each kit in collaboration with you and will seek your feedback every step of the way. Your kit will only be sent out to you when you're happy with it.

Unrivalled quality

Our cacao is ceremonial grade and made with the highest-quality organic cacao beans. We use cacao from different parts of the world to create each bespoke kit, from Peru to Ecuador, Costa Rica, Sri Lanka and Sao Tome.

All of our herbs are also of the highest quality, grown without any pesticides or chemicals, and sourced from ethical providers across the world.

1. Heat 200ml water or milk, and allow to cool slightly.

2. Add the water/milk and 4 level tablespoons (35g; a ceremonial dose) or 2 tablespoons (17g; a daily dose) of cacao to a blender or pan.

3. Blend in blender or gently whisk in a pan (under a low flame) until smooth and creamy.

4. Sweeten if needed.

5. Enjoy hot or iced.

For best results, take on an empty stomach. And because cacao is a stimulant, it's best taken earlier in the day.

The magic of 8 Within

You attract what you are; not what you want.

So when you feel clear, connected and aligned with a higher purpose, your life just flows with meaning and clarity.

But in today’s noisy, soul-numbing world, finding that connection to your higher self can feel impossible.

By harnessing the power of ancient plant medicines, 8 Within’s ceremonial cacao and herbal tinctures quickly bring you back to your true self… one creamy sip at a time.

For best results, take on an empty stomach. And because cacao is a stimulant, it's best taken earlier in the day.

Science meets plant alchemy

After walking away from a career as a medical doctor, 8 Within's founder Dr Ifey Ihonor spent five years travelling the world (from India to Indonesia, Hawaii and Costa Rica) in search of her life’s purpose.

But it wasn’t until a hot and sticky Thursday morning in Costa Rica in 2023 that 8 Within was conceived.

While drinking real Mayan cacao deep in the jungle, Ifey had an indescribably awakening experience. 

“So this is what authentic cacao can do. Wow!”

It was at that moment she knew she had to share the mind-elevating magic of ceremonial cacao with as many people as possible.

But she knew her path with cacao couldn’t be the same as others. She needed to fuse her Western medical training with her growing knowledge of traditional herbalism to create a new type of cacao experience.

8 Within was born.

I'm so glad i did the bespoke cacao and herb kit!
I was going through a lot of healing at the time and really understanding myself which felt difficult to navigate.
The cacao and herbs recommended to me were so healing and comforting and it came at a time where i was processing the grief of my Nana too.
I looked forward to getting up every morning just to sit with the cacao and herbs.
Super grateful for it and Ifey knows exactly what you need!

It was an aboslute pleasure to help you with this, Holly! Thank you for your trust. I hope the wisdom on the cacao and plants continue to support you when you need it. xx Ifey
