Tranquility Blend: Bobinsana, Blue Lotus & Kava — Freeze-Dried Squares | 20 ct

Tranquility Blend brings three plants together in one freeze-dried square: bobinsana, blue lotus, and kava, at 30 mg each. Twenty squares per pouch, handcrafted from Hawaiian-grown plants, sealed in mylar. What's in each square * 30 mg bobinsana (Calliandra angustifolia) — the heart-opening plant of the Amazon * 30 mg blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) — the dreaming flower * 30 mg kava (Piper methysticum) — the settling root of Oceania * Twenty squares per pouch. Freeze-dried, no preservatives, no solvents Why these three together Each of these plants comes from a different tradition and does something distinct. Kava settles the body. Bobinsana works on the heart and the emotional field. Blue lotus turns attention inward, toward dream and image. Blended, they cover ground that none of them covers alone — which is why this is a single square rather than three separate products. The texture is unusual and worth expecting: dry, light, closer to astronaut food than to a gummy. That is what freeze-drying does, and it is also why the actives keep so well. The three plants in traditional medicine Kava has been cultivated across Oceania for more than two thousand years — pounded, steeped in water, and shared from a communal bowl to open ceremony and mark hospitality. Pacific Island herbalism values it for a settled body and an easeful mind. Bobinsana grows along riverbanks in the western Amazon. Shipibo and other Amazonian traditions know it as sirenita bobinsana, the little mermaid of the river, and work with it in dietas — extended periods of relationship with a single plant. It is regarded as a teacher of the heart, associated with empathy and emotional opening. Blue lotus appears throughout dynastic Egyptian art, held to the nose in tomb paintings and carved into columns, and recurs across Indian and Nepalese iconography. It is traditionally associated with dream, vision, and the boundary state between waking and sleeping. The pathways: what the research examines The three plants sit at very different points on the research curve, and it is worth being straightforward about that: * Kava is the best studied. Kavalactones appear to act as positive allosteric modulators at GABA-A receptors, binding at a site distinct from the benzodiazepine site. Several also show activity at voltage-gated sodium and calcium channels. * Blue lotus is studied less, and mostly indirectly. The flower contains aporphine alkaloids, principally apomorphine and nuciferine, which have known dopaminergic activity in isolation.
