Nicknames: Butterfly Pea Flower Tea[1] blue tea;[1] "Bunga telang" in Indonesia[3] Other nicknames include: Clitoria, blue-pea, kordofan pea (Sudan), cunha (Brazil or pokindong (Philippines)[4] The Butterfly pea flower is known as: Aparajit (Hindi), Aparajita (Bengali), and Kokkattan (Tamil) in Indian traditional medicine[4] Sanskrit names include: Aparajita, Girikarnu, Asphota and Vishnukranta. English names: Butter-fly pea, Mazerion and Winged leaved Clitoria. Local names: Aparajita (Hin), Aparajita (Beng), Gorani (Guj), Gokarna (Mar) and Buzrula (Arabic).[4] | Synonyms: Clitoria mearnsii De Wild. Clitoria tanganicensis Micheli, Clitoria zanzibarensis Vatke.[2] "Shankhpushpi"(Ayurveda)[4]


Ethnobotany: In Indonesian communities, they use the flowers as part of C. ternatea as an eye medicine, boils disease, an ornamental plant, and a symbol in traditional ceremonies.[3] Any time we're talking about ceremonies or ceremonial use, we're most likely talking something to do with the occult, so beware of satanic snares. All parts of the plant are used by locals, including the Leaf, flower, seed, and root.[3] In its list of folk uses, is included its use as a: memory enhancer, and an anxiolytic agent[4] I share more scientific facts related to the pharmacology as studied in the phytochemistry lab below in the pharmacology section.. People have made use of different Clitoria species as a herbal medicine, and a natural remedy to: enhance fertility, to control menstrual discharge, to treat gonorrhea, and as a sexual stimulant(aphrodisiac).[4] Other species are also useful, as one scholarly journal on this botanical notes that "economic uses for 23 species of Clitoria as antihelmintic, diuretic, refrigerant etc have been identified".[4]


Classification: Perennial climber, a legume[3][4]


Plant Family: Fabaceae;[4] Genus: Clitoria[1] Species: C. ternatea[1]


Natural Habitat: It's native to tropical Asia[4] It is popularly distributed throughout Africa, Asia, Australia, North and South America, and the Pacific[3] It is also native to the island of Ternate in Molluca archipelago, where it's used as a fodder, ornamental, and medicinal plant.[4]


Legality: Legal in the US.


Mixes well with: Oneirogens(anything that's good for dreams, ideally), Ginkgo biloba, Goldenroot, Lemon Balm.. Because the root, stem and flower are all used in Indian to treat snake bites and scorpion stings[4], I postulated that it should synergize well with Echinacea purpurea, as it too is useful for snake-bites. Echinacea is also good for mental health, and in Ayurveda they use Butterfly pea to treat mental illness as well![4][5] I believe the two would mix well based on that alone. It sounds sedative, so Chamomile may also go well with it.


OG Observations: It seems that the mainstream world only knows a small percentage of the medicinal plants on this planet by name. Our divorce from doing things Gods way really has led to a total shift in the cultural paradigm, not just in terms of our collective morality, but in terms of our collective health as well. Turining to serpent medical abominations made in the likeness of their natural phtyochemical counterparts, and consuming large amounts of toxic food additives, has resulted in our biological systems becoming weakened.. The results are a mass of sheeple who are now in bondage to the serpent medical system that snares them closer and closer to death. God gave man every seed bearing herb, to maintain their health and wellness. It is the socialist who seek to destroy global health. Just say NO, to the w.h.o.

Phytochemicals:

Clitoria ternatea produces the following phytochemicals: tannins, resins, starch, taraxerol, taraxerone, alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, proteins, anthocyanins and carbohydrates[4] Keep in mind that some of these are actual categories of pharmacological components, rather than one specific constituent.. For example, the word "alkaloids" is plural, being an entire class of components, rather than a single chemical. A number of secondary metabolites were also idolated, including: triterpenoids, flavonol glycosides, anthocyanins and steroids[4] Four kaempferol glycosides were free-based out of the leaves of Clitoria ternatea, L. Kaempferol-3- glucoside, kaempferol-3 -rutinoside, and kaempferol-3-neohesperidoside(which was named clitorin)[4]


Seeds: The seeds of this species contain(and produce): nucleoprotein with its amino-acid sequence similar to insulin, delphinidin-3,3,5-triglucoside, essential amino-acids, pentosan, watersoluble mucilage, adenosine, an anthoxanthin glucoside, greenish yellow fixed oil, a phenol glycoside, 3,5,7,4-tetrahydroxy-flavone-3-rhamoglycoside, an alkaloid , ethyl D-galactopyranoside, p-hydroxycinnamic acid polypeptide, a highly basic protein-finotin, a bitter acid resin, tannic acid, 6% ash and a toxic alkaloid.[4] Again, each one of these components has a wide range of pharmacological activity of its own. Our modern scientific understanding of medicine that occurs throughout nature, is so advanced, that we literally can put an end to the vast majority of avoidable death and illness on the planet. It's just a matter of there not being enough good sheep to over-throw the bad ones. Do your part to combat socialism today, be a truth telling sheppherd. Finally, the seeds also produce V-sitosterol, ß-sitosterol, hexacosanol, and anthocyanin glucoside, along with anti-fungal proteins.[4] It has been shown to be homologous to plant defenses.[4]


What is Phytochemistry? What are Phytochemicals?

Phytochemistry is the science of how herbal remedies work, and yes they do WORK. It's the branch of chemistry that studies the pharmacological chemicals produced by plants. Those chemicals are called "phytochemicals", and they're miraculous medicine, much more so than anything pharmaceutical companies can make.. As one scholarly source puts it, "Extensive studies within the last half a century have demonstrated Clitoria ternatea to be an effective natural remedy for variety of ailments."[4] The studies are showing the same results on all of these thousands and thousands of medicinal plants, and those results all indicate intelligent design, and a medicine man that has done a much better job than scientist, God. Romans 1:20 "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse"


Pharmacological / Medicinal Properties:
Its folk uses include: jaundice, migraine, throat, eye infections, skin diseases, asthma, swollen joints, ear-ache, eruptions, fever, urinary tract infections, constipation, snake-bites, head-ache, indigestion, leprosy and central nervous system disorders.[4] In the lab, extracts of Clitoria ternatea have been studied for their medicinal value(pharmacological activities), and it was found that this plant produces the following medical properties: nootropic, anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, sedative, anti-pyretic, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-oxidative, anti-stress, immunomodulatory, larvicidal, proteolytic, antihelmintic, diuretic, anti-microbial and memory enhancing.[4] Perhaps the most exciting of those to me, is the memory enhancing properties. Because of that, I already think this would work good in anything used and or prepared for stimulating dreams, and the memory thereof(oneirogenic). The fresh plant juices found in the flowers is said to be a herbal remedy for insect bites and skin diseases.[4] The roots are useful in: asthma, burning sensation, ascites, inflammation, leucoderma, leprosy, hemicrania, amentia, pulmonary tuberculosis, ophthalmology and reported as bitter, refrigerant, ophthalmic, laxative, diuretic, cathartic, aphrodisiac, tonic.[4] The roots are also used for ailments such as: body-aches, infections, urinogenital disorders and as antihelmintic and antidote to animal stings[4] In Indian, the root, stem and flower are all utilized for snake bites and scorpion stings![4] Sounds like a holy herb to me! In Ayurveda, it is known as a brain tonic, nervine tonic and laxative.[4]Ayirvedic practitioners also prize it for its actions on the CNS, especially for boosting memory and improving intellect.[4] They use it in Ayurveda to treat mental illness![4]


Studies on Butterfly pea's effects on memory and the brain show miraculous results! One study concludes: "The oral treatment of Clitoria ternatea roots extract at doses significantly increased memory in rats."[4] I'm going to do my best to remember to quote facts like this. I want to point out more of the conclusions that studies have soundly came to regarding the positive effects of these herbal remedies. For more details on the mechanisms behind how this plant can have positive effects on memory and the brain, allow me to quote the study further: "The acetylcholine (AcH) content of the whole brain and acetyl cholinesterase activity at different regions of the rat brain viz cerebral cortex, mid-brain, medulla oblongata and cerebellum was evaluated. It was suggested that an increase in (AcH) in rat hippocampus may be the neurochemical basis for improved learning and memory. [54,55] Rai et al by using passive avoidance test and spatial learning T-maze have also shown that the aqueous root extract of Clitoria ternatea enhances memory in rats. [56] In another reported study the effect of aqueous root extract on the dendritic cytoarchitecture of neurons of the amygdale was studied.[57] This improved dendritic arborisation of amygdaloidal neurons correlates with the increase passive avoidance learning and memory in the Clitoria ternatea treated rats."[4]
