Roselle is Neither a Fruit nor a Flower
It’s
easy to mistake roselle for a juice in tropical countries because it’s commonly
sold streetside and in food courts alongside fresh pineapple, orange, lemon and
coconut juices. In Southeast Asian convenience stories, roselle is among the
single-serving bottles and juice boxes. It also turns up, as a sherbet, in
expensive ice-cream shops. But hibiscus tea has been consumed as a soothing
evening tea for centuries in Egypt and elsewhere in the Near East. It probably
first made a splash in the prettily-packaged US tea market as an ingredient in
Celestial Seasoning's Red Zinger tea back in the 1970s.
Botanically
speaking, it's Hibiscus sabdariffa L. (family Malvaceae) and it’s the bushy H.
sabdariffa var. sabdariffa that produces the edible products.The edible parts
used to make “juice” or tea (actually, an infusion) look like reddish dried-up
buds. In fact, they’re not flowers but calyces. It’s the calyx, the red, fleshy
covering enclosing the flower’s seed pod, which is used for flavoring, cooking
and food coloring. The flower of this variety of sabdariffa is yellow, white or
light pink.
Roselle(Hibiscus)
has been used in folk medicine as a diuretic and mild laxative, as well as in
treating cancer and cardiac and nerve diseases. Although information is
limited, the potential for hibiscus use in treating hypertension and cancer, as
well as for its lipid-lowering and renal effects, are being investigated.
Although
roselle is being studied, it hasn’t yet been proven to have the healing powers
of bael fruit. It is high in calcium, niacin, riboflavin, vitamin C and iron,
as seen on this Purdue University page. And the beverages have no caffeine. In
East Africa, "Sudan tea" is consumed as medicine to cure coughs. In
Guatamala, roselle is believed to cure hangovers. In Senegal, a roselle extract
is said to lower blood pressure. In India, Africa and Central America,
infusions made from roselle calyces or seeds are prescribed as a diuretic, to
stimulate bile production and to treat fever.
Herbalist doctor's viewpoint
1.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.
2.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.
3.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.
4.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.
5.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.
