Blue Lotus Tea is made from the dried petals or stamens of the Blue Lotus flower (Nymphaea caerulea), a plant revered in ancient Egyptian, Indian, and Southeast Asian traditions for its mild psychoactive and calming effects. While modern research is still catching up, many people today enjoy Blue Lotus Tea for its relaxing, mood-enhancing properties.
Here are the key relaxing benefits commonly associated with Blue Lotus Tea:
