Hibiscus Tea for Blood Pressure
It seems a new study has been done and this time into the health benefits of Hibiscus tea. Now I’ll be honest and say I’ve never tried Hibiscus tea. If you’re like me then here’s the summary on hibiscus:
- Also known as Rosemallow.
- Its related to cocoa, cotton and okra plants.
- Often grown for its beautiful flowers.
- White Hibiscus is an important plant in Avuryeda.
- It is the national flower of South Korea and Malaysia.
So its not that suprising its got health benefits as the Inidians have been using it in their Avuryeda practices for thousands of years.
Drinking hibiscus tea lowered blood pressure in a group of pre-hypertensive and mildly hypertensive adults, according to a report being presented today by nutrition scientist Diane McKay at the American Heart Association’s annual conference
The volunteers involved in the study drank three cups daily for about 6 weeks and their blood pressure and other vital statistics were monitored.
The numbers are very promising with people losing several points off their blood pressure over the course of the study.
To get yourself a quality hibiscus tea I’d recommend Hibiscus Punch Herb Tea
