About this herb
Premium Butterfly Pea Flower.
Butterfly Pea Flower (Clitoria ternatea) is a tropical vine native to Southeast Asia, revered for its vibrant, showy blue blooms with golden streaks. Rich in anthocyanins—particularly ternatins—this flower is cherished not only for its deep indigo color, but also for its historic use in Ayurvedic and Southeast Asian herbal traditions.
🍵 Uses & Applications Tea Blends: Traditionally steeped as a caffeine-free tea, often paired with lemongrass and honey for a calming post-meal drink. When lemon or lime is added, the tea transforms from blue to purple, making it a natural pH indicator and color-changing elixir. Natural Food Coloring: A vibrant dye for drinks, cocktails, rice, noodles, cakes, and ice cubes. DIY Beauty Products: Infuse in facial mists, shampoos, or bath soaks for a botanical boost.
💙 Traditional Health Benefits* Butterfly Pea Flower has long been celebrated in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese (TCM) for its potential benefits: Cognitive Support: Traditionally used to support memory, mental clarity, and a calm mind. Antioxidant Power: Rich in anthocyanins (particularly ternatins), which help combat oxidative stress and promote cellular health. Mood Support: Often enjoyed in relaxing tea blends to soothe the nerves and reduce tension. Eye Health: Used in Southeast Asia as a natural supplement for vision and eye strain due to its deep blue anthocyanins. Skin & Hair Nourishment: When used topically or consumed, it may contribute to a glowing complexion and strengthened hair.
