? Dried Blue Butterfly Pea Flower Tea (Ternate)

The earthy flavour of butterfly-pea flower tea is said to be a mood enhancer. The tea is said to have stress-busting effects that may also help reduce symptoms of anxiety. It is also known to refresh the brain, bolster energy levels and stamina, influence positive emotions and thereby increase productivity at work.

Blue Tea is known for its anti-aging properties which are due to high concentration of antioxidants present in its leaves. It has been clinically proven to contain much higher amount of antioxidants as compared to Green Tea
Eyes
The presence of the anti-oxidant, proanthocyanidin, helps to improve eyesight by increasing blood flow in the capillaries of the eyes which also allows the eyes to adjust to changes in light and improves vision. The blue butterfly pea vine flowers have been shown to effectively prevent cataracts and glaucoma, correct blurred vision, and reverse retinal damage as well as soothing inflamed and tearing eyes.
Hair
The blue butterfly vine flower, rich in bioflavinoids, has been used traditionally to promote hair growth, thicken the hair and reduce greying of the hair.
Skin
Anti-oxidants in blue butterfly pea flower stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis helping to rejuvenate the skin, reduce wrinkles and other effects of ageing skin.
Aphrodisiac
Traditionally used as an aphrodisiac particularly for women and used to treat problems associated with menstruation as well as leucorrhoea (white vaginal discharge).
Brain
Nootropic – enhances cognitive functions including heightening intelligence and enhancing memory via acetylcholine localised to the hippocampus.
Stress
A known Anxiolyhic – reduces stress and anxiety – calming effect. Relaxes smooth vascular muscle aiding blood flow.
Pain relief
Analgesic – helps to relieve pain to the extent it is used as a local anaesthetic.
Diuretic
Promotes excretion of water (urination) which decreases blood volume thereby lowering blood pressure, also used for fasting but typically temporary weight loss.
Other benefits include:
Anti-inflammatory – the deep blue flowers contain flavonoid pigments similar to blue berries, acai berry, mangosteen rind etc. that protect the plant. When you inject the flower the effect is remarkably similar to the anti-inflammatory effect of the plant in nature.
Aids diabetic activity by inhibiting glucose intake from the diet.
Noted anti-cancer and anti-tumor abilities resulting from cyclotides that cause cell death by disrupting cell membrane integrity.
Anti-pyretic –reduces fever by dilating the blood vessels just beneath the skin which increases blood flow near the surface of the skin where it can be more easily cooled by the air.
Loaded with antioxidants – that helps boost circulation and collagen production and prevent premature ageing. * It’s been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine as a memory enhancer, a stress alleviator, to lift the mood, and it is believed to balance blood sugar levels.
