Info

BLUE LOTUS

Blue Lotus is a highly revered plant worldwide, especially in Egypt. It has a long history as a panacea and is honored in mythological texts—creation stories—as the flower of our ancestors. Although often regarded as a tonic for the nervous system, it has a broad range of healing abilities. It has also been studied for its anti-inflammatory properties for the lymphatic system and its toning effect on the uterus.

Blue Lotus is revered as an herb to enhance sexual vitality in men and women. However, I believe the adaptogenic effects at the root of Blue Lotus work similarly to those of the ginseng family (and other ginseng families like Eleuthero (Siberian ginseng), Suma (Brazilian ginseng)), which boost energy when the adrenals are healed and androgen hormones, etc., are balanced again. In the true context of an adaptogen, I want to note that Blue Lotus has the power to repair the entire body without focusing on any specific organ, system, or disease. The Blue Lotus flower is not selective in what it heals, which is often the case with adaptogens. It targets the area that needs healing and shifts energy to where the true constitution should be. It is a medicine that works on mind, body, soul, and emotions.

It is said that Isis made perfume from this amazing flower and Cleopatra bathed in Blue Lotus essences. The lotus flower has something magical and enchanting about it as it rises from the polluted mud of the earth and manifests pure, golden, blue-white energy that can only be described as visually beautiful. This also relates to the chakra system of the third eye and crown chakras. The golden represents the solar plexus chakra, which is strongly connected to physical energy and earthly energy at its highest power—manifesting as the elevated "I Am" consciousness. So you take the physical earth energy and bring it into the higher consciousness of psychic and universal energy.

The traditional medicine of the Australian Aboriginal people has always used the Blue Lotus flower by eating the roots, stems, and flowers and integrating this plant into daily culture. There are traditions and secret women's practices around this plant that date back 40,000 years in recorded botanical writings.

How to use it

This flower is so delicious that you can really add it to anything. From chocolate to salads and nut milk to desserts. Its delightful aroma is a chocolate scent with a hint of spices. I personally love to combine it with chai flavors. Be creative and add it to any meals or drinks that inspire you.
