Description
This beauty is way more than skin deep, but it actually can help your skin. Well, at least, it seems to have many health benefits including:
Drinking tea made from Hibiscus is packed With Antioxidants
May Help Lower Blood Pressure
May Help Lower Blood Fat Levels
May Boost Liver Health
Could Promote Weight Loss
Contains Compounds That May Help Prevent Cancer
Could Help Fight Bacteria
The oil from the plant is known to enhance blood circulation to the scalp and in turn promote healthy hair growth.
Egyptians used hibiscus tea to lower body temperature, treat heart and nerve diseases, and as a diuretic to increase urine production. In Africa, tea was used to treat constipation, cancer, liver disease, and cold symptoms.
As wonderful as it seems for humans though, a word of caution from The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals specifically lists the hardy hibiscus, Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus), as toxic to your canine companions if ingested. The flowers are considered generally safe for humans to eat and the health benefits of hibiscus tea seem to be numerous!
Hibiscus is a genus of flowering plants in the mallow family, Malvaceae. The genus is quite large, comprising several hundred species. They are really beautiful flowers that attract bees and butterflies which make them near and dear to my heart!
