Physical Properties: 
Blue Lotus contains a unique array of alkaloids like nuciferine, nupharine, nupharadine and aporphine which interact with the brains dopamine, serotonin and adrenergic pathways, it has thus been used to treat depression, anxiety, insomnia, drug addictions, schizophrenia and is now finding use as an effective treatment for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s as it is neuroprotective and improves brain motor functions.  These compounds of blue lotus have been shown to act upon hypothalamus in ways that can induce restfulness, sleep, and sexual arousal for both males and females. Indeed, extracts of this flower have been used as aphrodisiacs for centuries with men seeing improvements in erectile dysfunction and women seeing improvements in libido, ease of climax and more. Blue lotus is also a powerful cardiotonic, exerting positive effect on coronary artery disease, and other vasoconstrictive illnesses through its strong antioxidant properties which reduce inflammation of the arteries, and through increasing intracellular nitrous oxide, and meditating calcium ion pathways. Note that some of these alkaloids can act as mild stimulants, and thus lotus can act as a perfect meditation aid as it both relaxes the body and improve mental clarity and alertness. Blue lotus is also antispasmodic and nervine and could thus be used for things like dysmenorrhea, neck and shoulder tension, eye strain, lower back pain and more. 

Spiritual/Emotional Properties (Closed petals, nighttime flower):This medicine is truly serene, it is as if a giant blue lotus flower comes by to take us of into dream land, the spirit realm, or astral plane… and it feels quite safe and easeful to embark upon these journeys to other states of awareness, as we are cocooned within the petals of this flower, closed as they are at nighttime. One begins to feel very centred, dipping into the kind of calm, detached, yet gently smiling awareness that is so often desired by meditators. This is a remedy that truly helps one to be with themselves, journeying through one’s inner chambers of psyche with love, appreciation and greater understanding. Certainly, it can be so peaceful that we might drift off into dreamland, cheerily letting our eyes blink closed… alternatively this closed lotus extract may help us to find a state of presence that is very sustainable for meditation, journeying, breathwork, or even late night love-making. Its sweet, musky flavour invites us into realms of consciousness that are more poetic, transcendental and altogether healing and revealing, for it is in the cocoon of the lotus petals that we may potently explore and engage with the depths that are often glossed over… sink in to the mud this flower asks of us, and therein find your most brilliant and bountiful blooming.Note that this flower can also be used in similar ways to the night flower: Opening ones heart, re-sacralising their life, synchronising the mind and the heart etc.
