Blue Lotus: Info & Lore

The blue lotus has a long history of traditional use in several cultures around the world. Records of its use are most abundantly available in ancient Egyptian scripts and art.

Blue Lotus was regarded as sacred and central to the Egyptian civilization; their mythology describes the blue lotus flower as the proverbial mother of their solar deities Amun-Ra and Atum. According to the lore, the world was originally engulfed in darkness and water until a large blue lotus appeared, opening up and introducing light and these first gods to existence.

Blue lotus flowers bloom during the summer, slowly emerging from the water and opening their petals to receive the Sun’s light. They close again in the evening. Due to all this, the plant became a symbol of light (the Sun), origin, eternity, and resurrection for ancient Egyptians.

Before the invention of western medicine, cultures around the world used what they could find in nature to heal themselves. Over thousands of years, they were able to discover which plants and herbs worked the best for hundreds of different issues. Back in ancient Egypt, the Egyptians used the blue lotus flower to treat a lot of conditions and disorders including anxiety and insomnia. The Egyptians didn’t know why exactly the blue lotus flower was so good for sleep and relaxation, but they knew it worked.

Today, we know that the blue lotus flower contains two compounds called apomorphine and nuciferine. Apomorphine can help instill a happy and euphoric feeling because it activates dopamine receptors, while nuciferine can help increase feelings of calmness.

Blue lotus is also an adaptogenic herb, some of the most common adaptogens include ginseng, cordyceps, ashwagandha, tulsi (holy basil), turmeric, maca root, reishi, nettle leaf, and schisandra.
