Eases Menstrual Cramps
It’s no secret that hibiscus tea is a natural remedy for menstrual cramps. The caffeine in hibiscus tea helps to relax muscles and aid in blood flow, while the anthocyanins (a type of antioxidant) help to reduce inflammation. Hibiscus tea can also be used as a diuretic (as it contains vitamin C) which will help reduce bloating caused by water retention.
Women prone to having heavy periods may also find that hibiscus tea helps reduce blood loss. This is because the tannins in hibiscus tea have been shown to prevent blood platelets from sticking together and forming clots. In addition, the antioxidants in hibiscus tea can also help decrease the risk of developing ovarian cancer by up to 60 percent.
While some women may still have pain after drinking hibiscus tea, it will likely be less severe than if they did not drink. As a bonus, they might also find that drinking this herbal brew helps calm stress down so that when their body feels more relaxed than usual from all its other benefits.
