Hibiscus

Hibiscus is good for a wide variety of medicinal usages. Some of these usages are liver restoring, autoimmune healing, viral and bad bacteria hindering, blood sugar balancing, and mild depression lifting.

Hibiscus’s phytochemical compounds based around its red anthocyanin plant medicine–filled pigments are geared for dozens of health uses. These red anthocyanins enter the liver, play a role as anti-inflammatory, and go after the Epstein-Barr virus and many other pathogens behind autoimmune disease. Hibiscus’s phytochemical compounds even help to stave off and repel bad bacteria that is antibiotic resistant. This antibiotic-resistant bacteria can be responsible for poor urinary tract health, including STIs such as chlamydia.

The red anthocyanins in hibiscus also help with blood sugar–related chaos from insulin resistance. Hibiscus enters into cells deeper in organs and can do this on its very own due to what hibiscus carries: plant sugars. Glucose naturally occurring in hibiscus attaches itself to the red anthocyanin pigments, and when cells open up to be fed through the course of insulin being released from the pancreas, hibiscus’s red anthocyanin pigments enter into the cells with ease. These natural plant sugars hold on to trace minerals, amino acids, and assorted enzymes, offering an infusion into cells and organs.

Hibiscus is an alkaline herb with an acidic edge to it. The acidic compounds in hibiscus are similar to that of the fruit acid in citrus such as oranges. Hibiscus’s acid compounds are a blood cleanser and turn alkaline as soon as they enter the bloodstream. Each time you have hibiscus tea in your daily routine, slowly over time, improvements to certain symptoms can exhibit themselves.
