The virtues of Hibiscus
Many studies have demonstrated the health benefits of regular Hibiscus consumption leads to prevention of Hypertension. Researchers at Tufts University in Boston conducted a study of 65 people with tension problems. The study thus proved the role of regulator of blood pressure that the infusion of Hibiscus flower can play on these people.
Its high concentration of Vitamin C also makes Hibiscus tea a significant source of energy. In case of fatigue, this is an excellent and stimulating remedy.
Taiwanese researchers also demonstrated in 2009 the anti-inflammatory abilities of Hibiscus. Inflammation of the airways and stomach upset can thus be regulated via consumption of Hibiscus infused in a beverage.
Finally, it is a mild diuretic, which helps relieve the digestive system.
