Blue Lotus is known to be a mild sedative which makes it great for those who are prone to stress and anxiety. Many people enjoy it for its calming and euphoric effect and use it in social gatherings or to relax in the evening. Not only that, but it can be used as an aphrodisiac herb to promote feelings of love. In potent doses blue lotus can have psychoactive effects; however, a simple tea or tincture will not have this effect.
