Lotus (powdered lotus root) from Mimasa is a very strong and resistant healthy food that favors the immune system against ailments in the respiratory tract. It is made with lotus root powder to which a little ginger is added. Lotus root benefits have been widely known since ancient times. Also, there are lotus seeds that have been buried underground for thousands of years and sprout again when they are planted again. The lotus is one of the roots and other plants with the highest vital energy, and is especially known for softening coughs, helping to eliminate phlegm and strengthening the body. It is recommended to drink a cup of lotus every day. To prepare it, just boil two teaspoons of lotus in a cup of water for about five minutes. At the end, you can add tamari-shoyu or salt. The lotus can also be applied as a poultice to remove mucus from the sinuses, mixing three parts lotus, two wheat flour and one powdered ginger, to which a little water is added. The resulting consistent paste should be deposited on the forehead, especially above the eyebrows. Using a bandage, this application should be left overnight for about 15 days. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of young children. Store in a cool, dry place.
