FAQ

Does Egyptian Blue Lotus have psychoactive properties?

Indeed, the blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) is recognized for its subtle psychoactive qualities. Its effects aren't as pronounced as many other substances and can vary among individuals.

It's crucial to understand that blue lotus induces gentle, soothing sensations rather than intense altered perceptions commonly associated with potent psychoactives. Most describe its impact as calming and mood-lifting rather than transformative.

The plant contains alkaloids like aporphine and nuciferine, which contribute to its psychoactive nature. However, compared to other substances, detailed research on blue lotus's action mechanism and safety is limited.

Can it be detected in drug tests?

No worries! Egyptian Blue Lotus is a natural herb and isn't screened for in standard drug tests.

How should I use Egyptian Blue Lotus?

- Tea: For a comforting brew, use a generous pinch (1-2g) of petals in a teabag or infuser. Steep in 6-8oz of hot water for 7-10 minutes. Adjust the quantity for preferred strength. Enhance the taste with milk, honey, agave, or lemon.

- Smoke: Many patrons prefer to mix this herb with other smokable blends. It can be smoked alone, but it often burns more evenly when combined. Due to its texture, it doesn't suit traditional grinders, so we offer a pre-ground version for smoking.

- Bath Soak: For a tranquil bath, introduce this herb to your water. We suggest using Whole Egyptian Blue Lotus for this purpose as the entire flower unfurls beautifully, elevating the relaxation experience.
