The Product

Butterfly Pea Flower

The Butterfly Pea flower, also known as the Blue Pea, is very popular in Ayurveda. It is full of compounds beneficial to health, including antioxidants (such as anthocyanins) and blue pigments that allow it to naturally color food and drinks.

The butterfly pea flower (Clitoria ternatea) is a plant native to Southeast Asia commonly used in tea preparation. It is used in devotional ceremonies to represent protection, love, and peace. It is associated with the powerful Hindu goddess Aparajita (whose name means "the unconquered one").

Butterfly pea tea is also used for cosmetic purposes, contributing to the health of the skin, hair, and eyes. Its high antioxidant content promotes the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid while combating the harmful effects of oxidative stress, which is responsible for premature aging.
Its bioflavonoid content also promotes hair growth and shine and slows down graying.
It is also effective in improving vision.

Finally, it relaxes the body and mind by soothing stress and muscles.

Its rich blue color is used as a natural dye. It is sometimes combined with water and an acidic ingredient, such as lemon, which alters the pH of the water, causing its color to change from blue to purple.

Add 1/4 teaspoon to your favorite tea, lemonade, meal, bath, face mask and much more.
Consume up to three times a day.

Is Anima Mundi's Butterfly Pea Flower really beneficial for the skin?

Regular consumption helps maintain firm, hydrated, and luminous skin from within. Benefits become visible after several weeks of daily use.

How to use Butterfly Pea Flower?

Steep one teaspoon of dried flowers in a cup of hot water for five to ten minutes to obtain a spectacular blue herbal tea. You can also add the powder directly to smoothies, lattes, lemonades, or baking recipes. Adding acidic ingredients like lemon miraculously transforms the blue color to violet or pink, creating naturally instagrammable drinks. The taste is mild and earthy, slightly floral. Beyond beauty, this flower offers a soothing meditative moment, ideal in the evening before bed.

Does Butterfly Pea Flower have spiritual benefits?

Yes, in Ayurveda, the Butterfly Pea flower is known as Anchan tea and is revered for its profound spiritual significance. It is associated with the goddess Aparajita, a symbol of protection, love, and inner peace. Traditionally used in devotional ceremonies and sacred rituals, this flower helps calm the mind, foster meditation, and open the third eye chakra. Its celestial blue color evokes the infinite sky and expansion of consciousness. It is a valuable ally for contemplative and spiritual practices.

Is Butterfly Pea Flower safe?

Yes, this flower is generally considered very safe and has been consumed for millennia in Southeast Asia without significant side effects. However, pregnant women should avoid consumption as it possesses emmenagogue properties traditionally used to stimulate menstruation.
