History and Ancient Meaning: The Blue Lotus, known scientifically as Nymphaea caerulea, is a plant with a rich history of meaning and use, particularly in ancient Egypt. This plant, with its white and blue flowers, was one of the most important ritual plants of Egyptian culture. Its flowers were used to adorn both the hair of the living and the deceased and were an ornamental element of great importance in Egyptian art. The Blue Lotus is even mentioned in the famous Egyptian Book of the Dead.

A Unique Story of Decline and Resurgence: Originally, the Blue Lotus grew exclusively in the Nile Delta, but over time, its cultivation has declined until it has all but disappeared. However, thanks to the interest of seed traders and its rediscovery for its psychoactive properties, Blue Lotus is now grown worldwide by both professionals and enthusiasts.

Effects and Active Ingredients: Dried Blue Lotus flowers can be used for a variety of purposes, including relaxation and aphrodisiacs. While the exact active ingredients of Blue Lotus are unknown, it is believed to contain various alkaloids that contribute to its unique properties.

Dosage: For a traditional experience, you can take 5 grams of flowers per person and immerse them in hot water. Alternatively, you can make an Egyptian-style drink by steeping the same amount of flowers in a bottle of wine for a few hours. This will make the wine bitter but powerful.
