Coffee

Coffee not only stimulates and satisfies, but it's also a medicine with powerful properties.
Coffee is added to many medications as a stimulant to relieve menstrual cramps, constipation and headaches. It raises blood pressure and increases the pulse rate.
It's said that strong, hot, black coffee is an antidote for poisons. It's also a great diuretic.
In homeopathy, coffee, known as coffea, is used to stimulate the function of all organs and to increase the nervous activity of the body.
Esoteric meaning; The stimulation of life.
Esoterically coffee represents our desire for stimulation. It is the part of us that enjoys excitement, surprises and a change of habits or patterns. Coffee is a great pick-me-up when our energy is low. In order for us to thrive we need pleasure and fun in our lives. If we deprive ourselves of the things that give us joy, we punish ourselves.
Affirmation; Life excites and delights me.
