How it heals

In Chinese Medicine, Hibiscus flower is a cooling herb that clears summer-heat, clears toxins, relieves cough, promotes urination, and relieves thirst. 

In Western terms, Hibiscus offers a range of health benefits, from promoting healthy blood pressure and balancing cholesterol levels to aiding weight management and supporting kidney function. Its natural properties include antioxidant, diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial effects, making it useful for reducing inflammation and flushing out toxins. It is known to help with bloating and water retention.

Fun Fact: It’s the national flower of South Korea and Malaysia. It is known to help mitigate the effects of hangovers and, like cranberry, it can also help treat UTIs with its antibacterial properties.

HOW WE USE IT

“Hibiscus 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.”
