Egyptian Blue Lotus
Blue Lotus is a potent aphrodisiac and synergizes well with most essences in product development. The energy that blue lotus presents are very unique vibrations: a playful, sensual essence which opens the heart, third eye and allows inner wisdom to shine. Blue Lotus aromatic notes and energetic are quite unique – calming, unifying, centering – enhances the mood, clears the mind and strengths connection to source. Simply intoxicating essence, considered one of the most rare-precious extracts.
Personally I use Blue Lotus ceremonially and very sparingly. Single drops can lift an entire bottle of concentrated formula into a new essence. 1 drop goes a long way and should be treasured/respected. Very concentrated, can use small amounts in a carrier oil for massage or to anoint for ceremonial purposes.
Suggested Uses
Great and widely used for aromatherapy. Blue Lotus is known as a natural aphrodisiac. Can be used for aromatherapy, promotion of sexual desire, ecstasy, and euphoria. Blue lotusmay speed up circulation and enhance connection to source. It’s a wonderful meditation aid, opening chakras (specifically the third eye), aiding one on their spiritual path. Dispels negative emotions and thoughts.
A few drops can be added to a carrier oil to create a massage oil. The active alkaloids in lily and lotus absolutes will absorb through the skin, meaning that both the giver and the receiver of a massage with such an oil will experience psychoactive effects. Absolute oils may also be added to smoking blends to potentiate and enrich the experience – simply add one drop of the essential oil to a dose of the herb to experience its full effects.
Lily and lotus essential oils may also be placed in oil warmers to create powerful aromatherapy experiences, and some people also report adding a few drops to wine to create a psychoactive brew (try 1 drop per 4-16 ounces). Finally, if you’re looking for a quick and immediate experience with the power of these plants, simply lift the Absolute to your nose and inhale – you will experience the unmistakable effects within five to ten inhalations.
Good for tantric massages, and stimulates sexual desire and passion. Goes great in teas and cocktails, and is great for massages as the giver and receiver will experience feelings of euphoria. Used in perfumes, bath oils, shower gels, anointing blends, potpourri, facial steam treatments and hair treatments or masks, incense, room fresheners, scented candles and other aromatic products.
When used during meditation, it is believed that it can promote heightened spiritual growth, as it soothes and calms, can promote kindness, and gives a better perception of understanding and forgiveness. When used in massage it may be helpful for reducing symptoms of rheumatism, aches and pains. Always blend with a carrier oil before use.
