7 amazing properties of Butterfly Pea:
1. Antioxidant and antinflammatory: extremely rich in antioxidant compounds, called ternatins. As well as being the reason for the bright color, ternatins have also been shown to alleviate inflammation and prevent cancer cell growth.
2. Butterfly Pea flower is most commonly known in the Indian Ayurvedic medicinal system as a brain herb, used for centuries to enhance memory, treat anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, and Alzheimer's, as well as just offer a general brain boost.
3. It has benefits for our eyes too! The flower contains the antioxidant anthocyanin, which has been shown to increase blood flow to the eyes. This helps in treating glaucoma, damage to the retinas, blurred vision, and tired eyes. It has also been shown to enhance night vision and generally protect the eyes from potential damage.
4. Reproductive system: Hippocrates studied this plant deeply and concluded that it is compatible with women’s health since its appearance is similar to that of a female clitoris, hence the name Clitoria Ternatea. Evidence aligns with his assumption as Butterfly Pea tea has been shown as a helpful treatment for problems with menstruation or vaginal discharge, as well as aiding in normal sperm production, and even acting as a potent aphrodisiac.
5. Researches have also shown to be excellent at stabilizing blood sugar levels through its ability to inhibit glucose intake.
6. This flower is a common treatment for respiratory illnesses. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, it has been shown to reduce the irritation of the lungs and other respiratory organs. It also helps in draining excess fluid build up, making it an excellent treatment for colds and coughs.
7. Transformation is a huge quality of this flower. Viewing the plant as a metaphor can help us understand the true power that it holds. Butterflies have long been a symbol of the soul and growth from within. The physical change that is experienced when adding acidity can act as a metaphor to the change that happens deep within our souls.
Clitoria ternatea, commonly known as Asian pigeonwings or Blue Butterfly pea.
Traditionally, the Butterfly Pea flower is said to be ruled by the planet Venus and connected to the element of water, which gives it the attributes of love, emotion, serenity, and protection. In India, this flower is named after Hindu goddess, Aparajita, meaning one who cannot be conquered or defeated. It is is commonly offered during Puja rituals, which are daily rituals of ceremonial worship, that usually includes a brief offering to a god.
This plant is special for a number of reasons, but a big aspect of its recent popularity comes from its transformative nature. When steeped in boiling water, or extracted like in this glycerine tincture, the Butterfly Pea flower has a strong blue color, which in itself is unique compared to other herbs. The magic comes when lemon, or another form of acidity, is added and turns from blue to a bright violet.
