BOTANICAL NAME
Nymphaea caerulea
OVERVIEW
Blue lotus extract tincture is made from the flower of the Blue lotus. It was used in spiritual ceremonies in many ancient cultures, providing a number of benefits and psycho-active properties when consumed.
Blue lotus was used traditionally as a relaxant and the effects are more subtle and well-rounded. The prized sedative outcomes of the lotus come from its natural antispasmodic properties, in turn helping to alleviate stress and anxiety.
The two main compounds responsible for the flower’s psychoactive and medicinal effects are apomorphine and nuciferine:
- Apomorphine. A psychoactive compound that acts as a dopamine agonist, meaning it can instill a happy and euphoric feeling. It may also help with muscle control in those with conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and erectile dysfunction.
- Nuciferine. A compound thought to act as an antipsychotic drug that induces feelings of calmness through mechanisms that aren’t yet fully understood. It has also been shown to improve symptoms of erectile dysfunction.
