Blue Lotus is a powerhouse of antioxidants and other nutrients that have been beneficial for humanity for centuries. It is a botanical treasure revered by different civilizations and cherished by the Ancient Egyptians. 

Blue Lotus was a visionary plant used to elicit dream states that would take royalty to higher realms, increasing intuition and astral dreaming capabilities. 

The Ancient Egyptians used to consume Blue Lotus by smoking the dried flowers in pipes as depicted in hieroglyphs, as well as brewing the flowers as tea, along with using them for steaming, smudging, making perfumes, medicines and other ailments.
