Blue Lotus Flower vs Hemp: Key Differences

Blue lotus flower is a fascinating plant, belonging to the water lily genus, and renowned for its historical uses in ancient Egypt to act as an aphrodisiac, anxiolytic, antidepressant, and connection to the spiritual world.  Psychoactive, this blue lotus flower brings undeniable appeal, especially since its side effects seem to be surprisingly minimal.  It’s also legal, and companies that you already know and trust with your cannabinoid-related needs are finding all kinds of new ways to develop products that highlight this majestic plant.

Blue lotus hemp flower is of particular interest, being raw hemp flower that’s infused with blue lotus flower extract, to be psychoactive in an entirely different way.  So, what does blue lotus bring to the table, in addition to all those dreamy cannabinoids and terpenes found in hemp flower?  Let’s find out.

What Benefits Come from Blue Lotus Hemp Flower?

Similar to cannabis, blue lotus flower has been used medicinally and spiritually since ancient times.  Unfortunately, research on blue lotus is lacking by comparison, because it’s very new to Western markets.  However, literally millennia of anecdotal evidence, paired with a better understanding of its chemical composition, tells us a lot that we need to know.  The two main active compounds in blue lotus flower are:

• Apomorphine – A dopamine agonist that can benefit neurological function.
• Nuciferine – An anxiolytic and antipsychotic that affects nervous system functions.  Between those two compounds, the flower is capable of offering benefits like the ones below.

So, what can you get out of blue lotus hemp flower that’s beneficial?  Let’s find out.

Mood-Lifting, Euphoric Effects

Apomorphine, one of the key components of blue lotus, gives the flower its mood-lifting effects that can offer a deeply euphoric high.  As a dopamine agonist, the compound increases levels of this “feel-good” hormone that’s associated with feelings of satisfaction, pleasure, and happiness.  Taking blue lotus flower in any product form can introduce this euphoric high, and that can be particularly useful to people who struggle with depression.  At the same time, hemp is also known for its mood-boosting effects that come from both its cannabinoids and terpenes.

Aphrodisiacal Effects

Some of the earliest uses for blue lotus, which we know through historical records, relate to its use as an aphrodisiac, which means that it can be sexually stimulating/arousing.  People who use blue lotus today describe this effect often, as the blue lotus flower seems to increase feelings of physical pleasure.  Interestingly, nuciferine has been found to play a role in treating erectile dysfunction, so it’s fascinating to know that ancient Egyptians were benefiting from this effect long before medical researchers began exploring the compound.

Effects Before Bed

People find that the mood-boosting, calming high of blue lotus actually helps them at night, especially when combined with cannabis, as the synergistic psychoactive effects helping them enter a more peaceful state. 

Contains Phytosterols 

Blue lotus contains phytosterols, which are plant compounds that may reduce cholesterol levels.  Certain fruits and vegetables contain them, but they seem to be in abundance in blue lotus, particularly.  Taking phytosterols daily may reduce LDL cholesterol in the body by up to 10%, but more research needs to be conducted on the phytosterols in blue lotus, specifically.

Antioxidants 

Finally, blue lotus flower is high in antioxidants like flavonoids, quercetin, myricetin, and kaempferol.  But, again, more research needs to be done on the effects of these antioxidants when consumed in the form of blue lotus flower.  Cannabis, like blue lotus flower, contains antioxidants as well.
