A real pick-me up without caffeine. In history every herb and flower has a symbolic meaning - hibiscus means grace and beauty. Hibiscus - a native to Africa - is related to a bushy ornamental shrub that decorates many tropical gardens has become a popular showy houseplant in Europe and North America and is a flowery accessory to many young women in the tropics. The calyces (often referred to as the hibiscus flower itself) which form the outer covering of the flower buds are dried and used to make a rosy citrus flavoured tea. There are more than 200 species of hibiscus. The type used for tea is Abelmoschus or Sabdariffa. Hibiscus is rich in Vitamin A and C and beta-carotene making it a good antioxidant. Many purport that its health benefits include: replacing electrolytes, quenching thirst during and after athletic endeavours, easing symptoms of colds flu and coughs.
