How Blue Lotus Helps You Sleep

What is Blue Lotus?

Blue lotus is a flower, but it's also a sedative with a long history of use in the East. For thousands of years blue lotus has been used as an aid to sleep, to increase dream vividness and recall, and as a general euphoric.

Blue lotus grows in Asia, India and Africa; it's legal in most countries including the USA.

How does Blue Lotus help with sleep?

Blue Lotus Tea may have a lot of amazing effects, but let's focus on the one that will help you fall asleep. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter. By increasing the levels of GABA in your brain, Blue Lotus can help you relax and calm down. In addition to this, it also increases serotonin and dopamine, which are both known to make us feel happier and more relaxed. Eventually, serotonin converts to melatonin, helping us stay asleep throughout the night.

Using a Blue Lotus tincture for sleep.

The easiest way to get started with Blue Lotus is to take it in a tincture, which is an extract of the plant. It's very easy to make your own at home, but if you don't feel like taking on that project then you can buy pre-made tinctures at health food stores or online.

Just put one dropper full of liquid under your tongue and let it sit there for 20 minutes or so (it will get bitter if left any longer). Then swallow it and go to bed! You can also use Blue Lotus as a tea or in any other form that appeals to you—just follow the directions for whichever method is best for you!

Things to remember about Blue Lotus.

Remember these important things when using Blue Lotus:

• It's a natural sleep aid. Blue Lotus is not addictive and does not habit-form.

• It's a sedative, so if you've been prescribed one of those and are looking for an alternative, this is the right product for you!

• You won't be putting yourself at risk of overdosing or having side effects like grogginess in the morning if you take it as directed on the bottle or website instructions.

• Steep 2 tbps of blue lotus tea in one cup of hot water for about 20 minutes. Strain herbs, add honey, and enjoy.
