Herbalist's Note for Hibiscus:
Hibiscus's bright acidity and traditional cooling properties require awareness of certain considerations.
- Blood Pressure: Traditionally used to support healthy blood pressure—monitor if on medication.
- Pregnancy: Some traditions use cautiously during pregnancy due to emmenagogue properties.
- Iron Absorption: High vitamin C content enhances iron absorption but tannins may inhibit it.
- Acidic Nature: Those with acid reflux may wish to consume in moderation.
- Storage: Keep sealed to preserve vibrant color and prevent moisture absorption.
