Lotus Plumule (Nelumbo nucifera) - Alcohol-Free Liquid Extract
This is an alcohol-free glycerite (drops) of the dried plumule of Nelumbo nucifera - the small bitter green embryo, or "heart," found inside the lotus seed. In traditional Chinese practice it is known as Lian Zi Xin. It has a long history as a food-grade herbal tea ingredient.
- Botanical name: Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn. (sacred lotus; Nelumbonaceae)
- Plant part: Dried plumule (the heart / embryo of the lotus seed)
- Also known as: Lian Zi Xin, lotus seed heart, lotus embryo, Plumula Nelumbinis
- Extract type: Alcohol-free glycerite (vegetable glycerin)
- Other ingredients: Vegetable glycerin, crystal clear purified water
- Origin: Lotus responsibly sourced from Indonesia; prepared in the USA. Gluten free.
This is the plumule - a different part from our Lotus Seed (Lian Zi), Lotus Leaf (He Ye), Lotus Stamen (Lian Xu), and lotus root and flower products, which all come from the same plant (Nelumbo nucifera) but from different parts. It is also completely different from Blue Lotus (Nymphaea caerulea), an unrelated water-lily. Please read the safety notes below.
Important safety information - please read before use
This is a concentrated extract of the most alkaloid-rich part of the lotus. As an occasional tea the lotus plumule is considered low in toxicity, but a concentrated extract deserves a thoughtful approach.
- Contains active plant alkaloids: the plumule is naturally rich in alkaloids such as neferine and liensinine. In laboratory studies these can affect heart-muscle contraction and lower blood pressure.
- Heart / blood pressure / sedatives: if you have a heart condition or low blood pressure, or take medication for your heart rhythm or blood pressure, or any sedative medication, talk to a qualified healthcare practitioner before use.
- Pregnancy / nursing: do NOT use - lotus alkaloids have shown hormonal and anti-fertility activity in animal studies.
- Not for children.
- Bitter and cooling: keep to the suggested serving and short-term use; it may not suit people with weak digestion.
- Keep out of reach of children.
