Hibiscus tea has a long history of medicinal use; both hot and iced versions have been used as a diuretic, to calm nerves and to treat insomnia. Studies show that drinking hibiscus tea can lower blood pressure and decrease inflammation. Hibiscus tea can also strengthen your immune system, help fight obesity and reduce your risk of cancer and lower your heart attack risk.*
Add a cinnamon stick or mint leaf to your hibiscus tea for extra flavor. Because it is so effective at lowering blood pressure, avoid drinking hibiscus tea if you already have low blood pressure.
