• The compounds in lotus may also have anti-inflammatory properties.
• When consumed, the blue lotus might induce a state of relaxation and peace, helping to mitigate the effects of stress.
• According to some studies, the blue lotus has antioxidant properties, meaning it might have the potential to neutralize these harmful free radicals.

Caution:
The two main compounds responsible for the flower’s psychoactive and medicinal effects are apomorphine and nuciferine (1Trusted Source, 3Trusted Source, 4, 5):

• Apomorphine. A psychoactive compound that acts as a dopamine agonist, meaning it can instill a happy and euphoric feeling. It may also help with muscle control in those with conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and erectile dysfunction.
• Nuciferine. A compound thought to act as an antipsychotic drug that induces feelings of calmness through mechanisms that aren’t yet fully understood. It has also been shown to improve symptoms of erectile dysfunction.

Consuming blue lotus flower may make you feel “high” and result in a gentle euphoria. Some people have drawn comparisons to the high you experience after consuming cannabis, though this can be largely individual.
