The health benefits of hibiscus tea include relief from high blood pressure and high cholesterol, as well as digestive, immune system, and inflammatory problems.  It may help to improve liver issues and may help reduce the risk of cancer.  It can also speed up the metabolism and help in healthy, gradual weight loss.
Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, hibiscus tea can reduce blood pressure.  For this drastic improvement to occur, you need to consume three cups every day of a few weeks.  Also, hibiscus tea has diuretic properties that increase urination, simultaneously lowering blood pressure.
Hibiscus tea also has impressive antioxidant properties.  It helps to lower levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol from the body, thereby helping to protect against heart disease and protecting blood vessels from damage.  The hypolipidemic and hypoglycemic properties of hibiscus tea can be beneficial for those who suffer from blood sugar disorders like diabetes.  A research study conducted on patients with type II diabetes suggests that consumption of hibiscus sour tea lowers cholesterol, triglycerides and low density lipo-protein cholesterol, which helps to manage this unpredictable disease.
Research studies have also suggested that the antioxidant properties of hibiscus tea may also help in treating liver disease.  Antioxidants help to protect your body from diseases because they neutralize the free radicals present in body tissues and cells.
Hibiscus tea is rich in ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C.  it is an essential nutrient required by your body to boost and stimulate the activity of your immune system.  Hibiscus tea is also known for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.  Therefore, it helps prevent colds and flu.  Hibiscus tea is also used to treat discomfort caused by fever, due to its cooling effect.
The health benefits of hibiscus tea also include relief from cramps and menstrual pain.  It helps in restoring hormone balance as well, which can reduce other symptoms of menstruation like mood swings, depression and overeating.
Hibiscus tea contains vitamins and minerals like flavonoids which have antidepressant properties.  Consumption of hibiscus tea can help to calm down the nervous system, and it may reduce anxiety and depression by creating a relaxed sensation in the body and mind.
Many people drink hibiscus tea to improve digestion.  It increases both urination and bowel movements.  Since it has diuretic properties, it is also used to treat constipation, which helps you lose weight and improve the health of your gastrointestinal system.  Hibiscus inhibits the production of amylase, which helps in the absorption of carbohydrates and starch, so drinking hibiscus tea prevents that absorption from occurring.  Therefore, hibiscus tea is found in many weight loss products.
