known by its scientific name Hibiscus sabdariffa, particularly the flower.

It is a very popular beverage throughout the world and is often used as a medicinal tea.

The health benefits of hibiscus tea include its ability to treat high blood pressure and high cholesterol,

disturbed digestive and immune system, inflammatory problems and liver diseases, as well as cancer.

It can also speed up the metabolism and help in healthy, gradual weight loss.

It is rich in vitamin C, minerals, and antioxidants and helps in the treatment of hypertension and anxiety.

Relieves Menstrual Pain

The health benefits of hibiscus tea include relief from cramps and menstrual pain. It helps in restoring hormonal balance as well, which can reduce the symptoms of menstruation like mood swings, depression, and overeating.

Hibiscus tea contains vitamins and minerals like flavonoids which have antidepressant properties. [7] Consumption of hibiscus tea can help calm down the nervous system, and it may reduce anxiety and depression by creating a relaxed sensation in the mind and body.

Many people drink hibiscus tea to improve digestion as it regularizes both urination and bowel movements. Since it has diuretic properties, it is also used to treat constipation, which helps you lose weight, improve the health of your gastrointestinal system, and avoid colorectal cancer.

Hibiscus herbal tea is beneficial for weight loss.You are likely to gain weight if you consume food that is rich in carbohydrates. However, studies have suggested that hibiscus extract lowers the absorption of starch and glucose and may help in weight loss. Hibiscus inhibits the production of amylase, which helps in the absorption of carbohydrates and starch, so drinking hibiscus tea prevents the absorption from occurring.

Tastes Great

Hibiscus herbal tea has a taste that is very similar to cranberry juice. It can definitely be described as tart, so you can add sugar or honey to increase the sweetness. Also, you can try adding spices like cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger depending on your taste. Hibiscus ginger tea is a popular flavor as there is a balance of tartness of the flower and spiciness of the ginger.
