Native Use
Nymphaea caerulea is a revered plant that was used during
rituals in ancient Egypt. When Pharaoh Tutankhamen’s tomb was opened,
they discovered that Blue Lotus flowers had been scattered over his
body. Initially, it was thought that these flowers were purely symbolic.
However there is a growing body of research that is pointing towards
the Egyptians using Nymphaea caerulea to induce ecstatic states,
euphoria, feelings of wellbeing and visions. The Blue Lotus has also
been found in representations of Egyptian art and hieroglyphics in
relation to afterlife and rebirth. Women would wear the buds in their
hair as adornments.
Traditionally, the flower extracts were taken as drops. The flowers
can also be made into tea or soaked in wine. Smoking the dried flowers
was also common practice.
Some evidence suggests that Nymphaea caerulea was used to
relieve pain, increase memory and to improve circulation. It is said
that the Egyptians used it to enhance sexual desire, and that it was
viewed as an essential key to good health.
The flowers were used to treat liver ailments, constipation, neutralize poison and to regulate the urinary system. Nymphaea caerulea
contains the chemical constituent apomorphine, which acts as a dopamine
antagonist, as well as nuciferine, nupharine and nupharidine. The
flowers also contain other alkaloids such as kaempferol, which act as a
type of MAOI.
Habitat
Historically, Blue Lotus was found growing in the lowlands of the
Nile. The sky blue and sometimes purple flowers bloom during the day.
They are star-shaped with upright pointed petals that grow atop a long
stem, sometimes 4-5 feet above the water. Its leaves are round and flat,
which sit atop the water’s surface. The plant used to grow only in the
wetlands of the Nile delta, with some found in Palestine. However, blue
lotus now has disappeared almost completely from the Nile region and is
seriously endangered.
Scientific information

agent for parkinson’s disease in it’s isolated form. Nuciferine is an
