A refreshing drink you can serve hot or iced, hibiscus green tea is one of the easiest teas to make. Read on to learn more.

hibiscus green tea health benefits

KAMPALA | LIFESTYLE UGANDA — One of the easiest teas to make is hibiscus green tea. It’s a refreshing tangy-sweet drink that can be served hot or iced. Hibiscus flowers are known for their antioxidant properties. To make it more enjoyable, add honey or lemon juice.

Hibiscus, which is a tropical flowering plant, is a natural remedy for high blood pressure and can help you lose weight. It contains many antioxidants and is therefore great for people with high blood pressure. 

Many people with diabetes suffer from high blood fat levels, which hibiscus can help lower. However, hibiscus may also help people without diabetes with their cholesterol levels.

Hibiscus is a tropical flowering plant

Hibiscus is a tropical flowering plant that is native to the tropics. The plant has many different names around the world, including bissap (West Africa), flor de jamaica (Mexico), roselle (India), and soobolo (Ghana). Hibiscus sabdariffa is the most popular and is the state flower of Hawaii.

The flower of the hibiscus is beautiful, and it can range anywhere from four to ten inches wide. It has five papery petals and a central, protruding stamen. 

The flowers can be either white, pink, or red, depending on the variety. Hibiscus plants are very drought tolerant and require little maintenance.

Hibiscus can be grown indoors in northern climates, but it needs to be in a pot during winter to survive. If you live in an area with cold, dry winters, it is a good idea to cover the pots with plastic sheeting or a plant blanket. 

When winter temperatures are consistently below freezing, you should move the hibiscus indoors. 

After the danger of frost has passed, you can transplant the hibiscus outdoors. It is best to place the plant in a shady location for a few weeks to avoid sunburn.

It is rich in antioxidants

Hibiscus is packed with antioxidants, which help prevent the onset of disease. Research shows that hibiscus lowers cholesterol levels and increases “good” cholesterol levels in the body. 

However, more studies are needed to determine whether hibiscus reduces blood pressure. If you are concerned about your blood pressure, consult your doctor before drinking hibiscus tea.

The hibiscus plant contains a number of antioxidants and is used as a tea to help prevent cardiovascular disease. Hibiscus is also known as roselle, sorrel, jamaica, and sour tea.

In one study, the antioxidant activity of hibiscus and green tea was assessed by comparing the antioxidant content of the two beverages. The researchers found that the antioxidant power of hibiscus was higher than that of green tea.

Hibiscus tea contains a high amount of antioxidants, which helps the body fight oxidative stress. Free radicals damage cells and can lead to diseases and accelerated aging. 

Research shows that drinking hibiscus tea reduces the amount of free radicals in the body, which slows down the aging process. It may even be good for the heart.

It can reduce high blood pressure

Drinking hibiscus tea has been shown to reduce blood pressure in laboratory animals and people. Depending on the dose, it can reduce blood pressure by as much as 12%. 

It also lowers blood sugar levels and helps control cholesterol levels. These effects are important because high blood pressure weakens the heart and can lead to heart disease.

Researchers believe that hibiscus tea contains anthocyanins, which help the blood vessels resist damage and narrowing. Many herbal tea blends contain hibiscus. The tea is bright red in color and has a tart taste. 

Researchers recommend drinking three cups of hibiscus tea daily. For maximum results, steep the tea for at least six minutes.

It can promote weight loss

Hibiscus green tea may promote weight loss in two ways. First, it acts as a diuretic. It increases the excretion of water and sodium in the urine. Both water and sodium help maintain body weight.

However, hibiscus does not increase the amount of potassium in the blood. This mineral is essential in maintaining blood pressure, since high blood pressure can lead to cardiovascular issues.

Furthermore, hibiscus contains powerful antioxidants. These compounds fight free radicals, which cause cell damage and contribute to many diseases. Hibiscus’s antioxidant properties are thought to prevent and even reverse these problems. 

Research also indicates that it has anti-inflammatory properties. This may be helpful in combating inflammation, which is the cause of a number of ailments.

It can induce menstruation

Whether hibiscus green tea can induce your menstrual cycle depends on your own body’s needs. For some women, a cup of hibiscus tea helps them deal with painful period cramps and regulate their menstrual cycle. 

For others, however, the tea can be dangerous. The plant is known to influence estrogen levels in the body, so it can be harmful if you are on birth control pills or pregnant.

There is some evidence that hibiscus tea can help you induce your period, but there is still need for further research. Regardless of the benefits of hibiscus tea, it’s best to talk to your healthcare provider first to determine if it’s safe for you to try it.
