Blue Lotus Tincture (Nymphaea Caerulea) 15:1 – From Thailand, 10 ml

Blue Lotus for Evening Reflection

Blue Lotus’s appeal combines a calming reputation with a lightly euphoric, sensual character. This Nymphaea caerulea flower tincture comes from Thailand and is labelled 15:1. Maya Herbs offers the liquid preparation in 10 ml and 100 ml sizes.

Mood, Sensuality and Dream Work

Contemporary accounts of Blue Lotus use describe relaxation, introspection and a quieter frame of mind before rest. Its aphrodisiac reputation is associated with sensuality and a receptive mood. These are the reported qualities behind its use in meditation and evening ritual.

The tincture also forms part of the Dream Herbs collection, reflecting interest in dream practice and reflection on remembered experiences. A reputation for evening use does not establish that this 15:1 preparation produces lucid dreams or treats a sleep disorder.

Fragrance and Egyptian Symbolism

Blue Lotus is a water lily, also treated botanically as Nymphaea nouchali var. caerulea. The Global Egyptian Museum links the flower with Nefertem, a deity associated with its life-giving fragrance.

Research on Blue Lotus Extracts

Dosoky and colleagues (2023) examined authentic floral concretes and absolutes and compared them with commercial products. Apomorphine and nuciferine were virtually absent from the authentic aromatic extracts tested. The authors noted that their extraction conditions were not optimal for recovering these alkaloids.

This is an important preparation-specific finding, rather than evidence that every Blue Lotus product has the same composition. The study did not assay Maya’s tincture or test its effects on sleep and dreaming in people.

The Blue Lotus collection also contains cut flowers for tea and a resin extract.

Storage

Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool place, protected from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
