Blue Lotus

💙 Blue Lotus – Gentle Water‑Lily for Relaxation & Wellbeing

Blue Lotus by Indian Elements comes from the dried leaves of Nymphaea Caerulea, a water‑lily traditionally valued for its relaxing and subtly euphoric properties. These dried leaves are ideal for brewing soothing tea — used to reduce stress, promote calm, and offer a mild sense of uplift.

🌿 What is Blue Lotus?

Our Blue Lotus consists of carefully dried leaves of the water‑lily Nymphaea Caerulea, originally from Egypt. The plant contains alkaloids such as nuciferine and apomorphine, which contribute to its calming effects. In addition, it offers flavonoids and antioxidants that support general wellness. The combination of gentle phytochemicals and a natural, low‑tannin profile gives Blue Lotus a smooth taste and a soothing effect on mind and body.

✨ Potential Benefits

• Relaxation & calm: helps ease tension and stress
• Mental clarity & balance: may support a tranquil, focused mood
• Gentle uplift: can impart a subtle euphoric or light mood enhancement
• Support for restful sleep: ideal for evening tea to promote relaxation before bed

☕ How to Use

Prepare a calming tea: add 1–2 teaspoons of dried Blue Lotus leaves per cup of hot (not boiling) water, steep for about 10 minutes, then strain. The tea acquires a pleasant golden hue and a mild, slightly bitter taste — sweeten with honey, sugar or syrup if desired. For best extraction, use water around 90 °C, letting boiling water cool 1–2 minutes before pouring. Cover the teapot or mug during steeping to preserve the aromatic compounds.
