Blue Lotus Flower, Nymphaea Caerulea
Blue lotus is a water lily, valued by many cultures and above all by the ancient Egyptians, who painted it again and again in their temples and tombs. Because it rises from the water at dawn and sinks at dusk, it became a symbol of the sun and of rebirth. It was also a visionary plant, used to bring dream states, sharpen intuition, and, as the Egyptians believed, carry royalty to higher worlds.
The hieroglyphs show how they used it: smoked in pipes, steeped as tea, used for steaming and smudging, and in perfumes and remedies.
What Blue Lotus Is Used For
- Dreams and lucid dreaming – a traditional aid for vivid, remembered dreams. Read more about blue lotus and lucid dreaming.
- Mild relaxation and a lighter mood – today the dried flowers are made into tea, smoked or macerated in wine for a gentle calming effect.
- Love and intimacy – known since antiquity as an aphrodisiac.
- Meditation – associated with intuition and the opening of inner sight.
How to Use Blue Lotus
Steep a few dried flowers in hot water for 10 to 15 minutes in the evening and drink slowly. For dreamwork, many combine it with Dream Herb.
Note: Blue lotus is illegal in Russia, Latvia and Poland. Check the law in your country before ordering.

My all time favorite tea!!
I usually drink it an hour before going to bed, it first has some daydreaming effect that helps me with my meditation, than it makes me sleepy, and than when i fall into sleep it makes my nightmares turn into beautiful multidimensional dreams💙
