Egyptian Blue Lotus is a sedative and aphrodisiac, rich in active resins.

Organically grown and processed - pure dried leaf and flowers and nothing else. Makes a great smoke.

Represented in ancient Egyptian art. The blue lotus was found scattered over Tutankhamen's body when the Pharaoh's tomb was opened in 1922. Many historians thought it was a purely symbolic flower, but there may be some reason to believe that ancient Egyptians used it to induce relaxation and an ecstatic state.

When prepared as a tea the flowers produce a thick, gold/clear liquid that reminds one of melted amber. The liquid is ever-so-slightly sweet and upon being consumed creates a warm, euphoric glow.

The dried leaves can be smoked by themselves or blended with other herbs to add flavor and an euphoric effect to your favorite smoking mixture. There is some indication that the effects of Blue Lotus may be enhanced if soaked in wine (which is thought to be the original Egyptian method of use) or other alcohol.

Blue lotus was used in ancient Egypt as a key to good health, sex, and as a symbol of rebirth. It is an aphrodisiac for both men and women as well as a general remedy and tonic.

In 2000 at Dr. Vic Garner's laboratory for forensic analysis in Manchester, England, the Egyptian mummy Asru, chantress at the temple of Amun at Karnak ca. 1000 B.C., became the first mummy to undergo mass spectroscopy. She had no narcotics or painkillers in her. They found phytosterols, bioflavonoids, and phosphodiesterase, the active ingredient of some modern brand name sexual function enhancers, all from blue lotus.

What, if anything, did Asru do to alleviate her pain? Did she take drugs for it or simply bear it in silence? If narcotics were used, traces of them should be found in her hair. There is a slight problem, however. As a chantress, Asru was shaved to maintain ritual purity, making it difficult for researchers to find enough hair to conduct toxicological analyses. Several hairs were recovered from her scalp, which revealed only henna, used to give her head and remaining hair a red color; other body hair revealed only traces of plant remains. Could plants have been ingested, sniffed, or otherwise used to relieve pain?

The question sends researchers Vic Garner and Dave Counsell on a quest to analyze the plants most widely used by the ancient Egyptians, including the blue lotus, which is shown in many tomb paintings being added to wine. Our team consults botanists at the British botanical garden at Kew, where they collect blue lotus samples both ancient, from the tomb of Rameses II and from the Greco-Roman cemetery at Hawara, and modern, growing in the garden's waterlily pond. After much analysis, it is determined that the blue lotus possesses the same properties as Ginkgo biloba, being an antioxidant and bloodflow stimulant. While the plant would have offered a certain overall sense of wellbeing, it did not necessarily eliminate pain. So why was it so popular, and so often depicted on tomb paintings? The answer--taken over time, it seems, the flower would have acted as a natural… sexual stimulant.

According to Danish Egyptologist Lise Manniche, the sexual-stimulating properties of the blue lotus are documented in a papyrus found at Deir el-Medina, the village of where the builders and artisans responsible for the tombs in the Valley of the Kings lived. Depicted in the document are two women--one confronted by a man with a large phallus, the other sitting on a phallic stool--each with a blue lotus painted above her head. But what role did the flower play in the funerary rites depicted in the tombs?

The connection, says Manniche, maybe that sex was the key not only to earthly rebirth, but rebirth in the afterlife…. That one mummy, Asru, could yield so much evidence on ancient disease is simply remarkable.

Dr. Elizabeth Williamson, Pharmacognosist, University of London, compared blue lotus to ginkgo, finding that blue lotus appeared richer in flavones. Gingko is free radical scavenger and antioxidant. Blue lotus would have been used for age related diseases and would be useful in mild-alzheimers, migraine headaches, tinnitus, various conditions involving blood flow and circulation.

Dr. Joan Fletcher, Egyptologist, University of Manchester said that sex was a very important part of Azru's culture, and that she believed that continued use of blue lotus produced sexual vigor and general good health.

Dr. Lise Manniche, Egyptologist University of Copenhagen, believes that blue lotus was used as a general health and sex stimulant, and perfume, which was central to a sexually orientated society. Azru had probably used, and served wine, in which a blue lotus flower was floating, and blue lotus tincture or extract had been added, as part of everyday rituals, as a sign of rebirth and enhancing sexual vigor and general good health.
