A symbolic reminder that each day can be a chance to start again.
The Blue Lotus has gained quite the reputation, and not just throughout history but even today. Perhaps even more so today out of curiosity for its purported healing benefits.
Claims include but are not limited to: providing a euphoric state, a connection to the astral realm, relieving anxiety, placing one in a relaxation state, calming the mind and soothing the body.
When used responsibly, this flower will not provide a “tripping” effect. The idea is to create a relaxing environment – no different than your other herbal remedies, like herbal teas and ahem, yes, that. So will it get you flying through your third-eye and projecting into realms you didn’t know existed: likely not. At least, not in a safe consumption.
Can it help quiet the mind and connect to higher levels of consciousness? Possibly. Does it smell intoxicating? Sure does. Will its properties still serve your best interests? Keep reading.
Recommended Uses:
— Tea: Steep 1-2 flowers in a normal cup of tea for approx. 3-5 minutes. Please keep in mind that the longer the flower steeps, the more bitter it will taste (usually around the 7 minute mark). The subtle, floral flavor of Blue Lotus is an acquired one; recommended to add a little sweetener of choice.
— Bath: Add a few flowers to your bath to create a fragrant, intoxicating retreat. The flowers can be used for exfoliation.
The Blue Lotus has been used in other methods for ritual practices, as documented by the ancient Egyptians among others. Please exercise caution if planning on consuming Blue Lotus in these methods. We cannot condone its use in these ways.
NOTE: Blue Lotus is not FDA-approved, please consume responsibly. Consult your physician with any questions regarding its use. We cannot recommend use during pregnancy and if you take certain medications. Additionally, we will comply with any/all regulations prohibiting its use and will not ship any Blue Lotus products where prohibited. If you attempt to place an order in these regions, it will be cancelled.
