Product detailed description

Nymphaea rubra 'Red Lotus': The botanical key to the heart

Nymphaea rubra, known as the red water lily or Red Water Lily, is a visually and chemically fascinating plant. It originates from the tropical waters of India and Southeast Asia and differs from its relatives (the white and blue water lilies) not only in color but also in its energy. While other water lilies are often associated with astral travel and lucid dreaming, the red water lily specializes in relaxing the body and harmonizing the senses.

This product contains carefully selected petals and stamen that have been dried to preserve their dark purple color and content of active alkaloids.

Effects and benefits

Users and ethnobotanical studies often highlight the following properties:

• Emotional relaxation: Helps dissolve stress and nervousness accumulated in the chest and stomach area. Acts as a gentle natural sedative.

• Symbolism of love: In Tantric and Buddhist traditions, red water lily is associated with the heart chakra and Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion. It is therefore an ideal complement to rituals focused on self-love or intimacy with a partner.

• Calming before sleep: Thanks to its relaxing effects, it is popular as an evening drink for a more peaceful sleep.

Traditional rituals with red water lily

• Herbal infusion: Traditionally, the flowers are steeped in water (80 °C). The resulting golden-pink infusion has a more delicate, sweet aroma than blue water lily.

• Bath: A handful of flowers in a hot bath creates a luxurious atmosphere, releases the scent, and calms the senses.

• Maceration: For a stronger extraction, it has historically been popular to soak the flowers in wine or alcohol for several days.

• Aromatherapy: Ideal for incense blends to induce a feeling of safety and well-being.
