Dried Egyptian Blue Lotus (Nymphaea Caerulea)

NEW IN STOCK: In addition to full shredded flower, we now have stamens + petals or petals only variants. Using only petals might have a slightly lesser effect, so we advise to buy petals only for decorative, etc. purposes. Both shredded full flower and petals+stamens variant will have the same effect, but petals+stamens variant is slightly more aesthetically pleasing :) If you are interested in unshredded flowers, you can find them here: Flowers

A little video explaining the different versions: Blue water lotus (Nymphaea Caerulea) was one of the most revered plants in Ancient Egyptian civilization. For Egyptians, this plant was used to reach higher states of consciousness. It was also used by Mayan, Ancient Greek and Ancient Roman civilzations. There are many Egyptian paintings that have survived to these days, where this blue lotus can be seen used in various ceremonial rites and celebrations. According to Teal Swan, this plant is one of the highest vibration plants that exist on Earth. When you use the absolute or tea, it has a calming effect, however, it is also an adaptogen, so it might have some stimulating effects in certain circumstances. It has anti-depressant qualities and helps people to experience lucid dreaming: it makes the dream recall better, allows for more vivid dreams and makes the quality of the sleep better. IT is also an aphrodisiac, antioxidant and helps with "female issues".

In Egypt, people believed, that Gods left this plant on the Earth to allow the soul to come out of the body and visit the Gods. The Sun God Ra was born out of this plant. The flower simbolized the beginning of life, as well as death, rebirth and life eternal.

This is the plant that inspired this whole shop and is the most popular of all of our products.
