Nymphaea Caerulea Blue Lotus- 1 Oz. Dried Organic Crushed Flower from Thailand.Nymphaea Caerulea derives from the banks of the Nile River and has many similarities to Nelumbo Nucifera. Because of these similarities, the two are frequently confused.
However, nymphaea caerulea, which is frequently called blue lotus, is in fact a water lily and not a lotus. The fact that they are both referred to as “sacred” and have similar narcotic and sedative properties coupled with the fact that nelumbo nucifera actually does have a blue variety adds to the confusion.
Like nelumbo nucifera, nymphaea is symbolically significant, and it has frequently been depicted in ancient Egyptian art and temples. It is very likely that caerulea is the legendary psychoactive lotus depicted in Homer’s Odyssey. Used similarly, the active principles of Nymphaea Caerulea are reportedly analogous to those in Nelumbo Nucifera petals, which is said to produce feelings of relaxation, clarity, lightness and well-being. The nymphaea caerulea seeds are drastically smaller than those of nelumbo. Nymphaea caerulea petals are also skinnier which makes them appear pointy and triangular, whereas nelumbo nucifera petals are fatter and rounder. The cool blue hue of Nymphaea Caerulea flowers also makes the plant seem mystical and surreal, so it is no wonder it has been chosen for symbolic significance throughout history. This product contains high quality dried nymphaea caerulea flowers, meaning that they have retained their vibrant color and sweet aroma after drying. We have encountered other products that are brownish and dirty or that have insects. Our blue lotus flowers are colorful and have a good scent.
This product contains fresh dried blue lotus flowers imported from Thailand.
