Kanna And Blue Lotus Tincture High Potency

Kanna x Blue Lotus extract Tincture (High Potency)

Product Description: Our Kanna and Blue Lotus Tincture blends Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) and Blue Lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) in an alcohol-free vegetable glycerin base. Each 10ml bottle contains 1g of MZQ Kanna extract and 1g of Blue Lotus extract.

Kanna, traditionally used in South African ritual and social settings, complements Blue Lotus, valued in ancient Egyptian culture for ceremonial use. This tincture may be taken sublingually shake well, place a few drops under the tongue, or mix into a beverage. For those with higher tolerance, a full dropper held under the tongue is recommended.

Directions: Suggested serving: half a dropper to 2 full droppers, taken under the tongue or added to a beverage. Start low and adjust gradually.

Ingredients: Sceletium tortuosum (Kanna) 1X extract, Nymphaea caerulea (Blue Lotus) extract, vegetable glycerin.

The two plants.

• Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum): a low creeping succulent from the South African Karoo, traditionally crushed, fermented and chewed by the San and Khoikhoi peoples. Bright and sociable in character. The extract used here is MZQ, our mesembrine-dominant 5.5% powder.
• Blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea): a Nile water lily that stood for rebirth in ancient Egypt and appears throughout temple art and ritual scenes. Soft and floral, and the traditional preparation was a steep in wine.

Why the pair works. Kanna at the mesembrine-forward end is bright and heads-up. Blue lotus is soft and floral and sits underneath it. Together the kanna gives the lift and the lotus rounds the edge off, which is why this blend reads smoother than a kanna tincture alone at the same strength.

Use methods.

• Under the tongue: shake well, then hold it there for thirty to sixty seconds before swallowing. Fastest route. A full dropper held sublingually is the option for higher tolerance.
• In a beverage: stir into water, tea or juice. Slower and smoother, and it covers the taste.

Shake before every serving. Two extracts in glycerin settle if the bottle has stood, and an unshaken bottle gives uneven droppers.

Interactions and cautions.

• Do not combine with SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs or other serotonergic medications, including triptans, tramadol and St. John's Wort, because of the risk of serotonin syndrome
• Do not use with alcohol
• Not for use during pregnancy or nursing, or by anyone with a heart condition
• For adult use only; keep out of reach of children

Storage. Upright, capped, cool and dark. Glycerites keep well without refrigeration. Cold thickens them, so let a chilled bottle warm before measuring.

Common questions

• Which kanna extract is in it? MZQ, our mesembrine-dominant 5.5% extract, 1 g per 10ml bottle.
• How much should I start with? Half a dropper, and adjust gradually from there.
• Do I have to shake it? Yes, every time. The extracts settle in glycerin.
• Does it contain alcohol? No. The base is vegetable glycerin.
• How does it compare to the three-plant tincture? That one adds kava, which pulls it toward the settled and body-present end. This one stays brighter.
