**Tincture of Blue Lotus**--Nymphaea Caerulea--
Common names: blue lotus, Egyptian blue lotus, blue water lily, sacred lily of the Nile
The following excerpt from Wikipedia's page on
Nymphaea caerulea
provides a nice description of this plant
: “Recent studies have shown
Nymphaea caerulea
to have mild psycho-active properties. It may have been used as a sacrament in ancient Egypt and certain ancient South American cultures. Eating Blue Lotus can act as a mild sedative.
Nymphaea caerulea
is distantly related to, and possesses similar activity to
Nelumbo nucifera
, the Sacred Lotus. Both Nymphaea caerulea and Nelumbo nucifera contain the alkaloids nuciferine
and aporphine.
The mildly sedating effects of
Nymphaea caerulea
makes it a likely candidate (among several) for the lotus plant eaten by the mythical Lotophagi
in
Homer
's Odyssey
.”
In other words, this tincture contains the active compounds of a plant which seems to act as a mild sedative. Although it has a long history, there have been few scientific studies conducted on the plant and its properties. Some users report no effects, others feel effects very vividly. This plant is legal in the US, with the exception of the state of Louisiana. Therefore we will cancel any order with a shipping address in Louisiana.
This tincture was created using a concentrated extract of blue lotus such that it has a strength of 1:1. That means that for every ounce of liquid, one ounce of blue lotus petals were used. The liquid consists of 60% water and 40% grain alcohol v/v (volume per volume). The active compounds of the plant dissolve into the water and the alcohol, while the alcohol also acts as a preservative. This means your tincture will have a shelf life of at least a couple of years. Another benefit of tinctures is that they are absorbed into the bloodstream rapidly. This allows for starting with a small dose, gauging the strength of the effect, and increasing the dose if necessary.
Directions: Shake well. An appropriate dose of this herb varies considerably between individuals. Begin with a few drops under the tongue and increase as desired. If the taste is difficult to handle, mix the drops into water or juice and drink the mixture.
Note: The 8oz bottles come with a screw top and not a dropper top. Please exercise caution with these bottles and make sure to take the appropriate dosage.
