Nelumbo nucifera is
commonly called sacred lotus about the sacred and symbolic status the flower
holds in Buddhism and Hinduism. It is native to Asia and Australia. It is a
large-flowered lotus that typically grows 3-6’ tall in shallow water and
spreads by thickened rhizomes rooted in the mud. This is a marginal aquatic
perennial that features rounded, parasol-like, upward-cupped, waxy green leaves
(to 2’ across) that appear above the water on long petioles which attach at the
middle of the leaf underside (peltate). Large, cupped, fragrant, pink or white
flowers (8-12” diameter) appear in summer on stiff stems above the foliage.
Each flower blooms for about three days, opening in the morning and closing at
night each day. Flowers are followed by nut-like fruits that are imbedded in
the flat surface of a turbinate (inversely conical) receptacle (2-3” diameter)
which resembles the shape of a watering can rose. Receptacles acquire a woody
texture when dried (suggestive of wasps’ nests) and are highly prized for dried
flower arrangements. The rhizomes, leaves and seeds of lotus are edible and are
sometimes used in Asian cooking.

All parts of N.
nucifera have been used for various medicinal purposes in various systems
of medicine including folk medicines, Ayurveda, Chinese traditional medicine,
and oriental medicine. Many chemical constituents have been isolated till the
date. However, the bioactive constituents of lotus are mainly alkaloids and
flavonoids.
Traditionally,
the whole plant of lotus was used as astringent, emollient, and diuretic. It
was used in the treatment of diarrhea, tissue inflammation, and homeostasis.
The rhizome extract was used as antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory properties due
to the presence of asteroidal triterpenoid. Leaves were used as an effective
drug for hematemesis, epistaxis, hemoptysis, hematuria, and metrorrhagia.
Flowers were used to treat diarrhea, cholera, fever, and hyperdipsia. In
traditional medicine practice, seeds are used in the treatment of tissue
inflammation, cancer and skin diseases, leprosy, and poison
antidote. Being a good component used for therapeutic purpose, it reduces
stress and provides deep relaxation to the
mind and soul. Along with bringing calmness, it also treats many body disorders

Ingredients:
The
essential is rich in five types of active flavonoids.
·
Flavonoids
are a ubiquitous group of naturally occurring polyphenolic compounds
characterized by the flavan nucleus and represent one of the most prevalent
classes of compounds in fruits, vegetables and plant-derived beverages.
·
More
than 8000 compounds with flavonoids structure have been identified, many of
which are responsible for the attractive colors of flowers, fruits and leaves.
In plants, these compounds afford protection against ultraviolet radiation,
pathogens, and herbivores.
·
Flavonoids
are considered as health promoting and disease preventing dietary supplements.
Epidemiological, clinical and animal studies reveal that flavonoids may exert
protective effects against various disease conditions including cardiovascular
disease and cancer.
·
Flavonoids
also possess antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory effects.
Population studies have shown that flavonoid intake is inversely correlated
with mortality from cardiovascular disease.
·
Flavonoids
have been reported to beneficially impact parameters associated with
atherosclerosis, including lipoprotein oxidation, blood platelet aggregation,
and vascular reactivity. Antioxidant, antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, and
hypolipidemic properties are illustrated to play a significant role in the
lower cardiovascular mortality observed with higher flavonoid intake. Thus
recently flavonoids are the focus of much current nutritional and therapeutic
interest.
