Blue Lotus Tea

CA$30.00

Blue Lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) is known as the “Flower of Enlightenment” or the “Dream Flower” and has been revered through time and across continents as a nervous system tonic, and a sacred plant which supports rejuvenation of intuition and sexual energy.

Once abundant in northern and central Africa, most notably throughout the Nile Delta, the Blue Lotus has been present in early Egyptian papyrus scrolls and was often depicted as an architectural motif in tombs. The sacred flower was known as the Mother of the sun god Ra and the lord of the underworld, Osiris, and was said to bring spiritual awakenings and invoke the gods. Its graceful opening at dawn, reaching to the sun in the day, and closing at sunset reflects the birth, life, and death cycles and perhaps this is part of the reason it’s such a symbol of rebirth and immortality.

As well as the recorded history in north-eastern, eastern, and southern Africa, there is also mention in Greece, Tibet, India and Rome, with First-Nations Australians using the whole plant for traditional medicine purposes and Women’s Business.

This is an add on for the 28-Days of Intentional Dreaming program. Each package contains 25 grams, which covers 5 cups. Please only purchase 1 package per student in the program.

What’s in Blue Lotus?

Blue Lotus flowers contain anti-oxidant properties which help to protect from nervous system degradation. It also contains two main active alkaloids which both interact with the dopaminergic system: aporphine (which converts in the body to apomorphine) and nuciferine which together bring calming euphoria, and a natural relief from stress and anxiety.

(The neurotransmitter Dopamine regulates lots of functions a few of which include: movement/motivation, attention, insulin, mood, and gastrointestinal process.)

Apomorphine is found to improve motor function and slow down neurodegeneration, and supports neural growth. It can also slow down the breakdown of dopamine likely accounting for most of the psychoactive effects. Nuciferine has anti-inflammatory properties and can help with the pain-relieving effects of morphine.

Although Blue Lotus is psychoactive, like all Plant Medicines, its adaptogenic effects repair the body and target the areas needing healing whether that be mind, body, soul, or emotions. Many folks experience a calming, euphoric sensation, others a mildly stimulating effect, a relief from depression or anxiety, or an increase sexual vitality and libido.
