Butterfly Pea flower (Clitoria Ternatea) has been used in Ayurveda as well as traditional Asian and Middle Eastern medicine for centuries. It’s full of antioxidants, including pro anthocyanidin (which supports skin collagen and elasticity) and anthocyanin (which supports hair and eye health). Both of these ingredients help promote the overall healthy life cycle of our cells.
Other benefits include:
-
Anti-inflammatory – the deep blue flowers contain flavonoid pigments similar to blue berries, acai berry, mangosteen rind etc. that protect the plant.
-
Aids diabetic activity by inhibiting glucose intake from diet.
-
Noted anti-cancer and anti-tumor abilities resulting from cyclotides that cause cell death by disrupting cell membrane integrity.
-
Anti-pyretic – reduces fever by dilating the blood vessels just beneath the skin which increases blood flow near the surface of the skin where it can be more easily cooled by the air.
-
