Blue Lotus Blooming to be Sold!
Fast Forward, Now 2023, The Alchemy becomes more evident as to how magical this flower is! More and more in love each day, as I sit with its phytochemistry.
Here is what I have learned, and wish to share with everyone!
I will do a little of the factual research for you on this, however, you may want to sit with Blue Lotus yourself and journal its beauty and teachings, perhaps by a pond studying its flora and fauna. It is how we listen and become alchemical in our observations. Enjoy this! Listen to her beauty. Ask her what she wants! It does help to understand the BioEssence within. The scent evokes a sensual feeling. Surely awakening. There is much in Egyptian history and the Pharos use of her Magnificence! Here is the basic phytochemistry that Blue Lotus contains:
BLUE LOTUS
The Blue Lotus Flower contains alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolic acid and tannins.
ALKALOIDS
Apomorphine & Nuciferine are the primary alterants of mood & senses. They allow release of serotonin and dopamine that produce a mild psychoactive effect that induces euphoria. Blue Lotus is a 3rd Eye Magnifier! I have become observant to the colors of the plants. This being BLUE/PURPLE is of the 7th Chakra, 7th color of the Rainbow. It effects our MINDS, our pineal and pituitary glands.
FLAVONOIDS
Blue Lotus Flower is rich and abundant in flavonoids of quercetin, kaempferol, and myricetin, which are phytochemicals that support the endocrine system. Aphrodisiacs! FLAVONIDS have shown antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic effects. Each on its own are very strong, yet bound by tannins together in Blue Lotus, you can see why this sacred flower is getting a bit more attention. Flavonoids from blue lotus flowers show promising antioxidant activity. Check into this!
Quercetin is directly produced with sunlight, which could be why the Blue Lotus rises up to receive this potent life-giving sustenance. Quercetin is a powerful antioxidant. Heart & brain coherence are greatly improved due to antioxidant effects and protection from toxins. It is written extensively how this could lower the rate of heart disease!
The anti-inflammatory reaction PROFOUNDLY activates neurotransmitters and reduces the risks of Alzheimer's disease, along with other degenerative diseases of the brain by reducing INFLAMMATION.
Because of the relaxation of blood vessels quercetin provides, it helps with erectile dysfunction! ;), which may relate to the aphrodisiac claims! Try two dried Blue Lotus Flowers in a Quart of fresh water as a hot floral tea or steep 2 to 4 dried flowers in a bottle of wine! Allow this to sit for 2 weeks before serving. This was the Egyptians method of receiving her blessings.
Kaempferol is bitter in flavor it is yellow crystalloid in appearance. The center of the blue lotus flower is a lovely yellow! Kaempferol is known to help with fat loss and it is written that it helps mutate CANCER DNA cells.
Once again, the rainbow appearing showing just what it is that we can look forward to if we allow its regenerative healing within our bodies. ALLOW... This is a key word of understanding. How we RECEIVE what we put into our bodies, makes a huge difference in its efficacy.
Myricetin: If you haven't heard of myricetin, it is good to understand that it is optimal for strong bones and aids in osteoporosis! It is a biologically active natural polyphenol with metabolic health benefits! Studies reveal that myricetin reduces triglycerides meaning it is a lipocytic. It is said to be beneficial for fat loss and reduction of high cholesterol.
Myricetin also increases mitochondrial content and oxygen consumption rate! Very important for those with mitochondrial issues relating to heavy metal toxicity and mitochondrial damage, as myself. Mitochondria? More myricetin please!
PHENOLIC ACIDS
Regarding phenolic acids, in addition to all the combined effects of Blue Lotus, we can surmise that all of the above are excellent phytochemicals and alkaloids to prevent cellular damage to the DNA right down to the mitochondrial level and promote excellent anti-inflammatory conditions in YOUR beautiful body.
Om! Blue Lotus! Thank you for the gifts you bring!
