Helps Reduce Liver Damage
Hibiscus tea is an excellent source of antioxidants, which help prevent liver damage. For example, one study found that hibiscus tea can help to reduce liver damage caused by acetaminophen (Tylenol).
Additionally, hibiscus tea can boost the liver’s function and protect it from further damage. It may even lower homocysteine levels, an amino acid linked to increased cardiovascular disease and stroke risk.
Another study found that hibiscus tea can help lower blood pressure. The study’s authors noted that hibiscus tea had been used for centuries to treat hypertension, and compounds in the tea may be responsible for this effect.
