Blue Lotus Flower

💙 Blue Lotus Flower – Calming Water‑Lily for Relaxation & Peace

Blue Lotus Flower by Indian Elements comes from the dried flowers of Nymphaea Caerulea, a water‑lily valued for its soothing and subtly uplifting properties. The dried petals are ideal for preparing a calming tea — used to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and induce a gentle sense of tranquility or mild uplift.

🌿 What is Blue Lotus Flower?

Our Blue Lotus Flower consists of carefully dried blooms of Nymphaea Caerulea, also known as the blue water‑lily or Egyptian lotus. The plant contains alkaloids such as nuciferine and apomorphine — compounds believed to contribute to calming effects through their action on certain nervous‑system receptors. Moreover, the flower provides flavonoids and antioxidants that support general wellbeing. With a naturally low tannin content, the tea has a smooth, gentle taste and a pleasant subtle fragrance from its essential oils.

✨ Potential Effects

• Relaxation & calm: helps relieve stress and mental tension
• Mental balance & clarity: may promote a tranquil, focused mood without sedation
• Gentle uplift: can induce a subtle, pleasant sense of ease or mild euphoria
• Support for restful sleep: particularly suitable as an evening tea to unwind before bed

☕ How to Use

Use 2–3 teaspoons of dried Blue Lotus Flower per cup of hot (not boiling) water. Let steep for about 10 minutes, then strain. The tea acquires a delicate flavor — slightly bitter, with a soft floral undertone. Sweeten with honey, sugar or syrup if preferred. For optimal extraction, water at about 90 °C is ideal; let freshly boiled water cool for a minute or two before pouring over the flowers.
