wandering jew bloom

This wandering jew (zebrina pendula) is wintering in my sunroom. It must be happy because almost daily there is a minuscule lavender bloom from the joint of the one-inch leaf. (100mm macro lens)

While googling for the Latin name, I ran across a botanist from New Zealand who makes a flower essence from wandering jew blooms. How many blossoms must it take to float on water in the sun to make a powerful enough medicinal infusion to affect one's psychic health? How much must I ingest orallly in order to "emerge from self-persecution?"
