Hibiscus Extract

Hibiscus is a genus of flowering plants. Although there are numerous varieties within the genus, hibiscus extract is most often obtained from the red flowers of H. Sabdariffa,
The plant has been shown to have antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Hibiscus extract also contains properties that reduce low-density lipoproteins (LDL), or bad cholesterol. This is not only good for the heart and circulation, but helps reduce blood pressure. Additionally, the plant provides cooling relief by dilating pores. It is also good for the skin, improving its elasticity and helping to heal sores and wounds.

Hibiscus extract relaxes the uterus, which makes it a suitable remedy for treating urinary tract infections. It has even been a popular remedy for the treatment of haemorrhoids. Other remedies include the treatment of colds and respiratory problems.
