@gardenofgaiaapothecary: Blue lotus doesn’t exist…because it’s actually a Waterlily. We are constantly seeing the wellness community make controversial claims about the blue lotus, often partaking in marketing campaigns that completely disregard the sacred cultural significance of the blue waterlily in South Asian culture and choosing to amplify the marketing over truth and cultural reverence. Since day 1 we have made it our mission to personally learn from ancestral land stewards and agricultural workers who have wisdom beyond colonial botanists and internet sources. This wisdom can’t be found in a lab, it’s found from being in the mud and temples where ancestral land stewards and cultural practices take place. More to share on this 🔜 to come. #bluelotus #waterlily #farmdirect #gardenofgaia #herbaltea
