Benefits: Blue lotus flower is also known as Blue Egyptian Lotus. This plant contains the psychoactive alkaloid apomorphine (can instill a happy and euphoric experience) and nuciferine (induces feelings of calmness). It has been used as a natural aphrodisiac, sleep aid, and anxiety reliever. Blue Lotus can bring one a sense of calmness and illicit lucid dreaming.

Blue Lotus contains a great amount of antioxidants (flavonoids, quercetin, kaempferol, and myricetin). Antioxidant are great for health and fighting free radicals which can damage some of the body's cells.

Blue Lily is often confused with Blue Lotus. Blue Lotus is more potent and contains the highest concentration apomorphine and nuciferine. Both Blue Lily and Blue Lotus contain a high amount of these alkaloids though. 

Please speak with your healthcare provider if you are considering trying Blue Lotus Flower as it has been known to have psychoactive properties. We do not recommend women who are pregnant or breastfeeding to consume Blue Lotus due to the lack of research on its safety in these environments.
