blue water lily

Water lilies have a long history in traditional medicine where all their parts are used. The root of the plant was used by monks and nuns for hundreds of years as an anaphrodisiac, being crushed and mixed with wine. Besides its uses as a painkiller, anti-inflammatory, astringent, cardiotonic, demulcent, with sedative and calming effects upon the nervous system, it can also be used in the treatment of insomnia, anxiety, and similar disorders.
