More details about Blue Lotus:
The ancient Egyptians consumed Lotus flowers soaked in wine to enjoy the flower's mood enhancing properties. Modern science has discovered that these effects result from positively mood affecting alkaloids unique to the plant. Active alkaloids in Blue Lotus are alcohol soluble but not water soluble, so historically Lotus has been soaked in wine and then consumed for effects (Note! This extract does not need to be soaked in alcohol). Lotus has also been used safely for hundreds of years in Eastern herbal medicine, and is recognized as a symbol of the Buddhist religion.

Suggested Use: 1/4 teaspoon (approximately 1 gram) dissolved in hot water or tea.

Certified Organic California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica) is commonly used to promote sleep and general relaxation. The indigenous California Indians used this poppy as both a source of food and medicine. Several groups boiled the plant, or roasted it on hot stones, to eat as a green. The Costanoan Indians rubbed a decoction of the flowers in the hair to kill lice; the Indians of Mendocino County used a poultice of fresh root for toothaches and a topically applied extract for headaches and sores; and Cahuilla women used the pollen as a cosmetic and the whole plant as a sedative for babies. Gentle in effect, California poppy is used to soothe minor aches and pains. California poppy is member of the poppy family and somewhat distantly related to the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum). While the California poppy does contain some sedative alkaloids, it contains no real "opium."
