Blue Lotus | Calm your Candida
Blue Lotus, with its beautiful honey like aroma, is traditionally known for its use in meditative practices to enhance divine connection, promote inner harmony, enhance dreamwork and to heighten spiritual experiences and profound dream journeys. But it also has incredible health benefits including its assistance with parasite cleansing.
Blue Lotus is bitter, aromatic, and warm energetically. In modern, Western herbalism, it is considered a sedative, febrifuge, aphrodisiac, antidepressant, antioxidant, anti-convulsant, and anti-inflammatory herb. It has been used traditionally to purify the blood, treat tuberculosis, expel worms and parasites, relieve edema, enhance libido and treat erectile dysfunction, improve lactation, alleviate anxiety and depression, staunch internal bleeding, and balance blood sugar levels. Blue Lotus has a particular affinity for the kidneys, heart, and nervous system.
Like most herbs, blue lotus does not just have a single effect. While it has euphoric properties in high doses, lower amounts of blue lotus flower appear to have more of a calming effect that may help with an anxious mood, and of which is particularly beneficial in reducing stress for those with candida overgrowth. In fact, blue lotus has been fairly popular for anxiety relief, even in ancient times. Because of its calming effects, another potential benefit of blue lotus is sleep promotion. It has a long history of use for treating insomnia.
Zeally Herbs Blue Lotus contains natural blue lotus flowers, grown using traditional organic practices by grass roots farmers of Sri Lanka. Those who consume Blue Lotus describe its honey-like taste as truly enjoyable.

Blue Lotus for Parasites and Candida
Stress is a leading contributor to Candida Overgrowth and we encourage looking at stress management as a key aspect of all cleansing.
Blue Lotus tea is well-known for its relaxing and mood-enhancing effects. Blue Lotus contains Nuciferine which is a compound that has been shown to have antipsychotic effects. With this in mind, Blue Lotus can leave you experiencing a relaxing feeling that can calm your mind and body, helping you sleep better and reduce stress.
Blue lotus also contains apomorphine and nuciferine. Apomorphine is a psychoactive compound and dopamine agonist. This means it replaces dopamine, giving a feeling of euphoria. This effect alone is why some consider blue lotus tea a natural aphrodisiac.
Along with its incredible calming abilities, Blue Lotus has been used to treat various gastrointestinal issues, including parasitic infections. Some compounds found in Blue Lotus, such as nuciferine and aporphine, have been shown to have anti-parasitic properties so drinking Blue Lotus tea while cleansing can help to support the elimination of parasites from the digestive tract and improve overall gut health.
