Mode of Action
The two main compounds responsible for the flower’s psychoactive and medicinal effects are apomorphine and nuciferine:
- Apomorphine. A psychoactive compound that acts as a dopamine agonist, meaning it can instill a happy and euphoric feeling. It may also help with muscle control in those with conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and erectile dysfunction.
- Nuciferine. A compound thought to act as an antipsychotic drug that induces feelings of calmness through mechanisms that aren’t yet fully understood. It has also been shown to improve symptoms of erectile dysfunction.

Ethnobotany
Also known as "The Flower of Enlightenment," blue lotus is an ethnobotanical treasure that has been revered for centuries. Widespread in Ancient Egypt and the Maya, it symbolizes creation and rebirth, as it emerged from the primordial waters to bloom once a year for just 3 days. The plant was associated with the sun god Ra as the bringer of light and the embodiment of the "perfection of wisdom".
For centuries, the blue lotus has been revered for its deep meditative energy, as the flower enhances third eye function and enables lucid dreaming. The effects of Blue Lotus or Blue Water Lily can be euphoric while helping to decompress the nervous system and relax the entire body and mind.
History
The blue lotus flower evokes a symbolism of elevation from the primordial waters towards a "spiritual" blooming, in fact, it is a flower that grows in lakes and on river banks, rising from the water with a long stem upwards, moreover it opens to the sunlight to close in the evening following the rhythm of the sun. Its importance was confirmed, in addition to the representations made on stems and papyri, by the findings in the tombs of the pharaohs where its petals often accompanied the mummies. In parallel with these findings, we find traces of its use also in the cultures of the Maya thanks to the ruins found near Palenque where here too in the low reliefs there are lotus flowers next to priestly figures. According to several scholars, struck by the ethnobotanical parallelism, blue lotus flowers were used in both cultures for ritualistic purposes and probably to achieve altered states of consciousness during ceremonies.
