Blue Lotus has a long history of use in Mayan and Egyptian cultures for its psychoactive and medicinal properties. Recent studies suggest that it may have various health benefits.* For example, it has been shown to have antidepressant, vasodilator, anti-inflammatory, and antipsychotic properties. It may also have potential as a treatment for diabetes, Alzheimer’s, oxidative stress, brain cancer, and obesity. However, caution should be taken when using Blue Lotus in combination with diabetes drugs like metformin. Here are some links to studies on Blue Lotus:
