Blue Lotus Flower is known as a symbol of tranquility and serenity in many ancient cultures, and has been used as part of religious ceremonies to reach higher levels of consciousness, and to connect to the divine, the cosmos, and lead to soul growth.

In more modern day uses, the Blue Lotus Flower is considered a powerful aphrodisiac, and has been known to enhance mood, aid restful sleep and relieve anxiety. It has been said to promote collagen growth, healthy digestion, and is used in Ayurvedic medicine to relieve fevers, treat urinary issues, erectile disfunction, heart palpitations, and breast cancer. 
 
Despite many anecdotal claims, there’s little evidence & research to support these claims . Though proponents of the flower tout its medicinal benefits, very limited research backs up these claims.
