Premium Hibiscus Flowers | The Power Flower
Hibiscus, also called marshmallow, red mallow or African mallow, is a genus of plants in the mallow family, which includes about 300 different species.
The most well-known effects of the hibiscus flower in folk medicine: circulatory regulating, thirst quenching, laxative, diuretic, choleretic, antibacterial, antispasmodic, metabolism stimulating (works against constipation) and detoxifying.
Regular consumption is said to improve well-being and strengthen the immune system. Hibiscus is particularly used to treat the following conditions: eczema, cramps, urinary and gallbladder problems, circulatory problems, constipation, and colds.
Only the flowers are used to make the medicine. Dried flowers are poured over hot water and allowed to steep. The resulting tea is drunk hot or cold and can also be used for skin compresses. Sitz baths can also be made from the dried flowers.
Hibiscus blossoms are also a visual delight. They are added to fruit teas because they impart a bright red color to the drink. In North Africa, the blossoms are used to brew a refreshing, deep red tea with a tangy, refreshing flavor and are served cold in summer. In Southeast Asia, the blossoms are added to curry dishes.
Ingredients of the flowers themselves: Citric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, hibiscus acid, anthocyanins, flavonoids, phytosterols, mucilage, vitamin C and pectins.
Origin: Egypt
