Dr. Shen Yonghua
Hibiscus tea offers multiple health benefits and functions. It helps promote blood circulation and resolve blood stasis, as its extract contains minerals such as iron that accelerate the body's metabolism. Hibiscus tea can clear heat and relieve fire-related symptoms, alleviate sore throat, and has diuretic effects that promote the elimination of waste from the body. Additionally, it contributes to beauty and skin health; the isoflavones and vitamin C it contains can remove free radicals and inhibit skin pigmentation. Hibiscus also helps lower blood pressure and lipid levels, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, it should be avoided during menstruation and by individuals with cold body constitution. Excessive consumption may cause discomfort, so it is recommended to use under the guidance of a doctor or nutritionist.
