The Power of Hibiscus
Hey Steepers!
This blog post is way past due, but here it is! If you’re an herbal tea drinker, you’ve probably come across hibiscus as an ingredient many MANY times. It seems to be a tea blenders go-to ingredient, and there are multiple reasons why.
The fruity taste of hibiscus is an obvious plus, but the health benefits are the reasons that I frequently include it in my blends. I’ll list a few:
Blood Pressure Management
Lowering Cholesterol
Protects Liver
Anti-Cancer Properties
Anti-Inflammatory
Weight Loss
UTI Remedy
Anti-Bacterial Properties
Menstrual Pain
Anti-Depressant Properties
Aids Digestion
Satiates Thirst
So that was a bit more than a “few”, but the list could be a whole lot longer! I think you get the point that I was trying to make in that hibiscus is good for you, so drink up!
Recently, I was gifted some very high quality hibiscus tea from another pair of sisters with a love for tea conveniently named “Two Sisters Tea.” :) They specialize in hibiscus tea, and I highly recommend trying it.
