Nelumbo nucifera, also known as lotus, is one of the aquatic plants which rises through muddy water and produces pure and uncontaminated flowers. This feature makes it a symbol of purification and resurrection. Lotus leaf is widely consumed as food, tea, and folk medicine. It is believed that all diseases are treated by drinking the tea consistently for a long time. Leafresh, an extract from lotus leaves, shows recovery from pollution-caused damage and protects skin from UV radiation and oxidative stress.
