HERBALIST DOCTOR'S VIEWPOINT
- Thirst
Hibiscus tea can be drunk hot or cold. As iced tea, the infusion is
known to satiate thirst quite effectively. It is often recommended as an
alternative to artificially made commercial "sport drinks" that are
marketed to physically active individuals. Hibiscus tea's ability to cool the
body is well documented by cultures that include it in their diet or medicinal
practices. This benefit is probably associated with the diuretic properties of
hibiscus, a property that helps in the excretion of excess fluids from the body.
- High Blood Pressure
The antihypertensive properties of hibiscus tea were noted by a study in
which 70 people were involved; half of them drank hibiscus tea once daily and
the other half took 25 mg of antihypertensive medicine twice daily. After a
month, 79 percent of the tea drinkers experienced a ten point reduction in
blood pressure, 84 percent of the ones that took pharmaceutical medicine also
experienced the same reduction in blood pressure. Hibiscus is an antioxidant.
It has properties that prevents the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins; a
substance in our blood that if increased beyond normal quantities may cause
high blood pressure.
- Weight Loss
Some tea drinkers use hibiscus tea to aid in weight loss. The body
produces an enzyme known as amylase which functions to break down complex sugar
and starch molecules in food. When a person consumes too much carbohydrate-rich
food (full of sugar and starch) that individual is most likely going to gain
weight. According to pubmed.gov, hibiscus contains a substance that can inhibit
the production of amylase. A person regularly drinking hibiscus tea can thus
prevent too much absorption of carbohydrates and consequently not gain excess
weight.
- Cough and Colds
According to the book "Healing Herbal Teas," fresh hibiscus
flowers contain around 6.7 mg of ascorbic acid, a form of vitamin C, which is
one of the more essential nutrients needed by the body. Along with this
significantly beneficial substance, hibiscus is known to have anti-inflammatory
and mild anti-bacterial properties. Thus hibiscus tea is often used as a
supplement to help treat coughs and colds. Because of its cooling effect, it is
especially effective in reducing the discomfort of fevers that may accompany
such ailments.
- Nutrition
Besides containing a significant amount of ascorbic acid, hibiscus is
made of the following nutritional substances: 1.145 g of protein, 2.61 g of
fat, 12.0 g of fiber, 1,263 mg of calcium, 273.2 mg of phosphorus, 8.98 mg of
iron, 0.029 mg of carotene, 0.117 mg of thiamine, 0.277 mg of riboflavin and
3.765 m of niacin. Given all this, it can be said that hibiscus tea can serve
as an excellent food supplement and an aid to boost the body's immune system.
