About Blue Lotus (Nymphaea caerulea)

Nymphaea caerulea belongs to the Nymphaeaceae family of aquatic plants. Native to regions of Africa, including the Nile Valley, it produces elegant pale-blue to violet flowers that typically open during daylight and close as evening approaches.

Its distinctive appearance and daily flowering cycle contributed to its symbolic importance in ancient Egyptian culture. Today, Blue Lotus is also cultivated as an ornamental water plant in various warm climates and is appreciated for its attractive flowers and fragrance.

Traditional and Cultural Background

Blue Lotus has a remarkable place in the visual and cultural heritage of ancient Egypt. The flower appears in numerous paintings, carvings and ceremonial objects, including depictions of banquets and religious occasions. Archaeological and historical evidence indicates that the flowers were incorporated into traditional preparations and ceremonial practices.

The lotus was closely associated with themes of creation, renewal and the sun in Egyptian symbolism. Historical imagery frequently portrays the flower alongside figures involved in religious and social ceremonies.

Blue-lotus imagery has also been identified in cultural contexts beyond Egypt, demonstrating the wider historical significance attributed to water-lily species in different civilisations.

Naturally Occurring Compounds

Nymphaea caerulea contains a variety of naturally occurring botanical constituents, including:

• Nuciferine — an aporphine alkaloid reported in the plant
• Apomorphine — present in trace quantities
• Flavonoids, including quercetin and kaempferol
• Nymphayol — a phytosterol reported in Nymphaea species

The concentration and composition of these constituents may vary according to growing conditions, plant material, harvesting and extraction techniques.

10x Extraction

A 10x extract ratio means that approximately 10 g of dried Nymphaea caerulea flowers have been processed to produce around 1 g of concentrated extract.

The extraction process is designed to transfer soluble botanical constituents from the dried flowers into the resulting extract. Once processed, the extract is dried and milled into a fine powder, providing a substantially more concentrated botanical material by weight than the original dried flowers.

The 10x ratio refers to the botanical extraction ratio and should not be interpreted as a measure of pharmacological strength or guaranteed active-compound concentration.
