Benefits of Hibiscus Flower (Organic)

Description

 

Many cultures have enjoyed hibiscus tea for ages. Hibiscus tea is popular in Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.

 

In Jamaica, Panama and some other countries,  Hibiscus is used to make the popular “sorrel tea” by blending it with other herbs and spices. 

Hibiscus not only makes a tasty drink, but it has an incredible array of health benefits. It has been used by different cultures in different ways over the years. For example, in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) it was used to treat viral infections like chickenpox and shingles. 

Studies have confirmed it has many benefits. It reduces blood pressure, even in high-risk patients. 

It has also been shown to reduce cholesterol and triglycerides, which means it could be beneficial for cardiovascular health (especially when you also take into account the ability to lower blood pressure). 

Hibiscus is packed with antioxidants. These prevent the damage done by environmental pollutants and toxins in our foods and drinks. The high antioxidant content has also led to it being studied as a potential cancer treatment. It has been shown to kill leukaemia cells and stomach cancer cells in a laboratory environment. 

There have also been studies that show Hibiscus lowers the risk of obesity – it seems to increase metabolism. It can also help to keep blood sugar regulated, reducing the risk of obesity.  

There is even research into Hibiscus having a possible effect on mood. It is packed with bioflavonoids which can potentially ameliorate depressive symptoms. 

Hibiscus has anti-bacterial properties too and has been investigated as a potential tool to combat MRNA. 

There is also its diuretic effect – it encourages urine production, helping the body to remove toxins. For this reason, Hibiscus is being investigated as a potential treatment for kidney stones. 

Hibiscus tea should not be taken by pregnant women, and it can be toxic to anybody if taken in very large quantities.
