Benefits of Passion Fruit and Orange Fruit Tisane The Hibiscus in this Tea might lower blood pressure, thus improving heart health. This is because of its anti-inflammatory properties. The answers come from a study conducted by the American Heart Association. It saw 65 participants aged between 30-70, all of whom were recognised as “at-risk” from high blood pressure, split into two groups. The first group of participants consumed Hibiscus three times a day, while the second group received a placebo. After six weeks, the results determined that the Hibiscus Group “showed an average fall of 7.2 percent in blood pressure, with some recording a 13.2 percent drop. The placebo group, in comparison, recorded a 1.3 percent drop”. Pretty neat for your morning brew, wouldn’t you agree?
