From religious and cultural symbolism to medicinal applications, the Pink Lotus has been used in all areas of ancient life including the treatment of hypertension, diarrhea, fever, weakness, skin inflammation, and heat imbalance of the body.

Pink Lotus, like all the other lotuses, are a close relative of Sacred Blue Waterlily (nymphaea caerulea), which is known commonly as Blue Lotus.

Aside from being visually similar, all these flowers have similar alkaloids, apomorphine and nuciferine, that help release dopamine and serotonin to influence our mood and produce mild psychoactive effects that may induce euphoria.

These effects are the main reason the flower was brewed into a tea for many different kinds of celebrations.

Nelumbo nucifera is intimately linked with the Buddhist religion, with Pink symbolizing the traditional concept of purity of the body and mind. It represents the achievement of enlightenment and the transformation of one's nature.

Very aromatic but gentle in taste, energetically it carries a refreshing energy making it a wonderful ally and support during the maiden or follicular phase of your cycle.
