Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Morning all, I have had the opportunity of smelling blue lotus - and no, you don't want to know the price of the concrete - and it stank! However, we were told that by diluting it in oil to an amazing degree, something like 1% or less, it is glorious. It is certainly not an oil to play with, because of the cost, but if you have a good reason for it buy the concrete and blend down yourself. Hi Chris, I have recently watched the most amazing programme on the History Channel, it was called Mysteries of Egypt :Sex, Death and the Blue Lotus. It was amazing how scientists took samples from the Blue Lotus plants growing in Kew Gardens in England, slivers from the 2000 year old tomb of a 50 year old concubine and compared them through DNA with the gingko bilboa plant. There were many similar properties, (as well as a strong Viagra effect) and it provewd the importance of the blue lotus at that time. One of the first Australian Aromatherapy conferences had John Steele telling the story of the Blue Lotus and it very interesting reading. I am sure I read on a list, and I think it was this one, that some one was keen to have a co-op buy some Blue Lotus essential oil. I had no idea about the historical importance of this oil when I started my aromatherapy business, which is incidentally called Blue Lotus Aromatherapy. Even if someone has smelled it, could they please describe the aroma....
