Blue Egyptian lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) is a water plant that has held deep significance for the ancient Egyptians and was used as an herbal medicine. It is a psychoactive flower that can offer mood-enhancing and calming effects. It is also known to help with sleep, stress, and anxiety relief.
It is a tropical plant that requires consistently warm temperatures for proper germination. It is best to sow the seeds 2cm deep in loamy, rich soil. It can take up to 3 months for the flowers to grow to maturity, and they should be planted in a place that receives plenty of sunlight. It is important to keep in mind that the plant can be toxic if it comes into contact with a human’s skin.
In ancient Egypt, the blue nymphaea lotus was often used in shamanistic rituals for its spiritual and trance-inducing properties. This is evident in the numerous depictions of this flower found on papyri and in the tombs of Pharaohs. It is a great choice for those seeking something to enhance their lucid dreaming experiences. It can also be brewed into a tea to help reduce stress and anxiety.
It contains an alkaloid called apomorphine that acts as a dopamine agonist to increase feelings of happiness and euphoria. It also has antispasmodic properties, which helps with relieving muscle tension. It can be consumed in various ways, such as drinking the brewed tea, smoking it with a pipe, or adding it to an alcoholic beverage like wine.
