BOBINSANA & Blue Lotus Extract 1.1 or 5.1

Bobinsana & Blue Lotus — 1:1 & 5:1 Glycerine Extract

Heart opener and dreaming ally. Two ancient water medicines — one alcohol-free extract. Available in two concentrations.

Bobinsana and Blue Lotus are a natural pairing. Both are water plants. Both work on the heart and the dreaming mind. Both have been worked with by healers and mystics across thousands of years and thousands of miles — one from the rivers of the Amazon, one from the sacred pools of ancient Egypt. Together they form one of the most beautiful and effective combinations we offer for emotional healing, heart opening and deepening access to the dream world.

Available as a 1:1 or 5:1 glycerine extract — alcohol-free, naturally sweet and potent. Choose your strength below.

The Plants

Bobinsana — Calliandra angustifolia

Doctorcita. The little doctor. The heart opener of the Amazon.

Bobinsana grows along the banks of Amazonian rivers, her roots permanently submerged in water, her pink flowers reaching toward the light. This relationship with water is not incidental — it is the very heart of her medicine. In Amazonian tradition, Bobinsana is associated with the spirits of the water, particularly the mermaids and water beings known as the Yacuruna — the people of the water, considered amongst the most powerful and beautiful spirits in the Amazonian cosmos. To work with Bobinsana is to work with water energy — fluid, feeling, deep and connective.

She is a feminine spirit of extraordinary grace, one who teaches through the heart rather than the mind. Shamans who have dieted deeply with her speak of being taken beneath the water in their visions — into the world of the water spirits — where teachings of love, healing and connection are received.

Traditionally worked with for grief, loss, emotional numbness and deep sadness, Bobinsana heightens empathy and emotional sensitivity, enhances vivid dreaming and visionary insight, and brings a quiet but persistent opening of the heart over weeks of consistent use. She is often the first master plant given to those beginning a relationship with Amazonian medicine — a gentle, loving introduction to the world of plant teachers.

Bobinsana is traditionally used as a natural contraceptive by indigenous communities — do not use if you are trying to conceive.

Blue Lotus — Nymphaea caerulea

Blue Lotus is one of the oldest sacred plants in human history, revered in ancient Egypt as a symbol of the sun, creation and divine consciousness. It was depicted throughout Egyptian art and ceremony — floated in temple pools, offered to the gods, worked with by priests and mystics for its ability to open the mind to higher states of awareness.

Blue Lotus is known for its gently euphoric and calming qualities — lifting the spirit, easing stress and anxiety, and opening perception to deeper layers of experience. It has a long association with lucid dreaming, visionary states and the expansion of consciousness. Alongside Bobinsana it deepens the dreamtime dimension of this blend powerfully — these two plants together create a dreaming synergy that most people notice within the first weeks of consistent use.

Choosing Your Strength

1:1 Glycerine Extract — equal parts plant material to glycerine. A potent, full-spectrum preparation and a strong starting point for those new to these plants or to glycerine extracts. Gentle on the system, naturally sweet and well suited to daily sustained use.

5:1 Glycerine Extract — five parts plant material to one part glycerine. Our most concentrated preparation and among the most potent alcohol-free plant extracts available. Most glycerine extracts on the market are made at 1:5 — one part plant to five parts liquid. Ours is the reverse. This is a deeply concentrated medicine intended for those seeking a more intensive experience or those who have already worked with the 1:1 and wish to go deeper.

Both preparations use organic vegetable glycerine — no alcohol, no fillers, no synthetic ingredients. Made from plant material sourced directly from trusted indigenous partners in the Amazon, prepared in small batches by hand with care and respect for each plant's spirit.

Why Glycerine

Glycerine is a natural plant-derived preservative that draws out and holds the active compounds of a plant without alcohol. It is naturally sweet, gentle on the digestive system and well suited to those with alcohol sensitivity, those avoiding alcohol for personal or ceremonial reasons, or those who simply prefer a softer preparation. The natural sweetness of glycerine also makes it particularly pleasant to take with herbs that are bitter by nature.

How to Use

5 drops under the tongue twice daily, away from food and drink. Hold briefly before swallowing. This blend works particularly well taken in the evening before sleep — both Bobinsana and Blue Lotus deepen the dreaming mind and work quietly through the night. Keep a notebook by your bed. Many people notice the most significant shifts in their dreams before they notice anything during waking hours.

Approach with clear intention. These plants work gradually and cumulatively — give them time and meet them with consistency.
