Description

Apart from being beautiful, this plant from eastern Asia stands out also for its beneficial properties to health, a fact recognised by many nations through their experience of using it for traditional treatments.   

The high vitamin C content of hibiscus means that it has strong antioxidant effects, while its contribution to controlling cholesterol levels and to the general health of the heart is significant. It is traditionally used for coughs and conditions related to the upper respiratory system, such as bronchitis, laryngitis and pharyngitis, while its antihypertensive properties appear to be highly promising.
