Kamal Kesar, also known as Lotus Stamen or Lotus Pollen, is the yellow-coloured, powdery substance found inside the lotus flower. The lotus flower is considered sacred in many cultures and is often used in religious ceremonies and rituals. Kamal Kesar is one of the most expensive spices in the world due to its delicate extraction process and low yield. It is believed that Cleopatra used lotus flower extract in her beauty routine.  In Ayurvedic medicine, Kamal Kesar is used to balance the doshas as is believed to have a cooling effect on the body. It is also believed to help promote mental clarity, reduce anxiety, and improve sleep quality.
