Hibiscus flowers
Hibiscus is not just a pretty ornamental plant; it also possesses extensive health benefits and is considered the ultimate thirst quencher. When brewed as a tea, hibiscus releases valuable organic acids that regulate and stimulate metabolic processes in the body. Its secondary plant compounds have a detoxifying effect, so profound that researchers believe it can reduce liver damage. A positive effect on cholesterol levels and high blood pressure has also been demonstrated.
