One of the most well-known properties of the blue lotus flower is its ability to induce relaxation and provide natural stress relief. This can be attributed to the presence of compounds that have a calming effect on the nervous system. Blue Lotus contains nuciferine (a natural anti-spasmodic) along with apomorphine, which will give you feelings of calming euphoria. For that reason, it is a natural anti-anxiety and stress reliever.

Blue lotus tea contains two compounds that are responsible for its sedative effects: apomorphine and nuciferine. Apomorphine is a dopamine agonist, which means it stimulates the dopamine receptors in the brain and induces a feeling of happiness and euphoria. Nuciferine is an antipsychotic agent, which means it reduces the activity of certain neurotransmitters in the brain and induces a feeling of calmness and relaxation. Both of these compounds help relax and reduce stress and anxiety, which are common causes of insomnia.
By drinking blue lotus tea before bed, you can ease your mind and prepare yourself for a restful night. Blue lotus tea not only helps you fall asleep faster, but also improves the quality of your sleep.
