While ‘blue lotus’ is in its name, this flower is not actually a lotus at all—it’s a lily. It is also known by the common names blue water lily, sacred blue lily of the Nile, and Egyptian lotus.Blue lotus contains the active ingredients apomorphine and nuciferine. Apomorphine is a psychoactive alkaloid that interacts with both dopamine and serotonin systems, key neurotransmitters that regulate feelings of pleasure and mood. (Science enthusiasts may take delight in knowing that blue lotus shows activity as a partial agonist at 5-HT1A and an antagonist at 5-HT2A serotonin receptors.) Nuciferine is an alkaloid associated with dopamine receptor blockade or a dopamine antagonist, which blocks dopamine receptor activity. Blue lotus flower is rich in food-derived flavonoids such as flavonols, quercetin, kaempferol, and myricetin.It was brought to India from Egypt, where it was associated with the sun: the lotus, like the sun, opened in the morning and closed at night. It was also associated with the god Horus, who was often depicted sitting or standing on the lotus. In Egypt the flower was blue and white, and was seen as a flower of resurrection, and used in funeral rights and depicted in the artwork in tombs. In India it represents birth and rebirth; Brahma was born seated on a lotus flower. Lotuses have long been held sacred by Buddhists, Hindus, and Egyptians, whom all believe that Lotus flowers bring prosperity, fertility, and allow the inner being to bloom. The Sacred Lotus has an American relative, Nelumbo Petapetala, which was used as a source of starch by the Native Americans. *These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
