The color of this flower is blue with smoothly changing to a pale yellow in the centre of the flower. In Egyptian mythology, it is considered extremely significant because it rise and fall with the sun.
Benefits:
Treat Depression
The lotus flower has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for treating depression and anxiety. The flowers have high levels of antioxidants which have been shown to reduce depression symptoms by affecting neurotransmitter levels in the brain.
Good for Diabetes
The lotus flower contains an enzyme called galactosyltransferase that helps break down carbohydrates into sugar molecules that are more easily absorbed by the body's cells. This makes it an excellent source of fiber for people with diabetes who need more fiber in their diet but do not want to add extra calories from fiber-rich foods like breads or cereals (which would also increase their blood sugar levels).
Sharper Mind and Memory
Lotus flowers contain two amino acids called tryptophan and phenylalanine which are both known to help boost memory and improve mental clarity when taken regularly over time (about six weeks)
Other Names: Nilkand, Neelkand, Neelotpala
