Traditionally supports: Gentle detox, Comfort and ease, Urinary well-being, and Restoring balance

How It's Used

In Chinese herbal practices, Hibiscus flower is considered a cooling herb that clears heat, promotes hydration, and supports the body’s natural detox processes. It is traditionally used to relieve thirst, promote urination, and soothe discomforts associated with summer heat.

In Western herbal traditions, Hibiscus is prized for its antioxidant properties and its ability to support kidney vitality and promote balance. Known for its refreshing qualities, it’s a natural way to help your body reset and feel revitalized.

Fun Fact:Β Hibiscus is the national flower of South Korea and Malaysia. It’s also celebrated for its ability to help ease hangovers and, like cranberry, support urinary well-being with its natural properties.

β€œHibiscus is a refreshing and flavorful way to boost your intake of antioxidants like vitamin C, which support immune resilience and overall wellness. It also aids the body’s natural detox processes and can help relieve occasional bloating, promoting digestive comfort.”
