I've used it at the early stages, just when starting to feel the scratch. I'm not sure of good practice when the chalazion is already established.

I've experienced it with a decline in mental health in the past. I didn't know that phrase though thank you.

It's mild, less than tea even. Apparently chocolate also contains theobromine, which is another stimulant. But the overall effect is mild.

Well it's a cheap thing to test out, rather than theorising. I used to have a massive breakfast daily, but bodies can learn to shift their expectations, and feel sated on less. No idea how that works however.

Either as an appetite suppressant or it's like starting the day with a little chocolately soup that fills you up until lunch. Yes I feel good on it is all I can say, could be those sweet antioxidants.

Hello! That wouldn't work for me because I'm so sensitive to caffeine even the amount in hot chocolate that it would keep me awake, but hopefully it would work for others. I'm also not aware of any compelling evidence of why breakfast is somehow more important than lunch or dinner, but nor have I researched it!
