the story:

Despite its long history of use, Egyptian Blue Lotus is a flower shrouded in deep mystery yet they are powerfully medicinal. In the search, little monographic accounts of Egyptian Blue Lotus can be found, but evidence through personal and communal experience is quantifiable and of great quality. Nymphaea is one whose full body can be used resulting in an entity with true whole plant medicine potential. The flowers, the most commonly used part, are used in aromatherapy and as an otherwise stimulating agent. The aroma promotes a deep state of relaxation, creating a more receptive space within the person. The flowers also have oil compounds useful as pain-relief and have been said to possess anesthetic qualities, producing a somewhat numbing effect to enable things to pass without so much of a traumatic/stuck consequence. In this way, this flower is a potent remedy for depression and the moving of stagnant emotional energies. They are particularly useful as medicine for renewal, in all the senses of the word. Egyptian Blue Lotus Flowers also help to alleviate anxiety. Alkaloid compounds such as nuciferine are likely responsible for these effects - working as alkalizing, bitter agents in the body, they can serve as detoxifiers in the system. The leaves, also infused or even as a poultice in some cases, can be used to alleviate the pain of burns, thirst, hemorrhoids, and bleeding from internal organs. The leaf-stalk helps to increase lactation - this is an interesting contrast between two parts of the same whole. Here we see evidence of an ally essential to overall balance. In countries such as Thailand, seed extracts have been used to prepare skin remedies for dry and flaky skin and also to aid those displaying a recurrence of acne and pimples. Like the water element from which the emerge, Egyptian Blue Lotus is has moisturizing capacity. There seems to be a strong correspondence between this flower and the Sun and also Venus. They are perhaps a great ally for those with strong solar or Venusian energy in their natal chart; they could also prove to be soothing to the minds and hearts of those who have Moon, Mercury, Venus and/or the Sun in Leo, Libra, or Taurus. These astrological associations can vary, but we see this ally as promoting warmth, illumination, and beauty - Blue Lotus can even be added to conditioners for hair care as they are a great crown chakra tonic. By interacting with various receptors in the brain, Nymphaea promotes an elevated mood and overall spiritual quality. Nuciferine is said to play a major role in the effects of this plant - the interaction with receptors show a potential for EBL to address a variety of conditions including neuropathic pain, inflammation-related depression, and fibromyalgia. I had the honor of witnessing my aunt benefit greatly in reducing bodily aches, pains, and insomnia related to fibromyalgia with the use of EBL. Trials and research in this area have yet to be conducted, but this could change with the needs of the times. Evidence does show that they have not changed much in the past 160 million years, but have instead expanded their presence upon the face of the earth, keeping within the tropical and temperate regions. This is specifically an ally that shows up in places where the Sun is active and felt, saying plenty for the energy they can bring to us. Considering this, we can say that further applications can be for those born in the warmer months of the year but also those who were born in the winter and seek to be relieved of the coldness they may naturally possess. Even with what we know, there is much left to be learned about this ancient sacrament. The body of knowledge available via the scientific, alternative medicine, and other publications do not suffice to document or explicate the wisdom of this entity. Keep in mind that the water lily family, Nymphaeceae, is an old and ‘primitive’ family, so they carry information from time before even the existence of who we know as homosapiens. Egyptian Blue Lotus is an ally of many. Read the rest of the monograph here.
