Some studies have found that rosella tea may lower blood pressure (in both systolic and diastolic).
In 2015, a review of five studies found that rosella tea decreased systolic and diastolic blood pressure by an average of 7.58 mmHg and 3.53 mmHg, respectively ( https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25875025/ ).
However, while rosella tea may be a natural way to help lower blood pressure, it is not recommended for those taking the diuretic treatment, hydrochlorothiazide, due to the interaction the tea has with the drug ( https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21480802/ ).

Please note: These are laboratory results and have not been fully tested.
While we mainly use the Rosella flower in tea and other infusions, it can be used for other purposes as well:

Benefits may include stress reduction, anxiety reduction, and depression reduction by calming the mind and providing psychological benefits such as anti-anxiety and anti-depressant activity comparable to diazepam and antidepressant drugs. It may also improve memory and cognitive function, as well as protect against age-related memory decline.

Moringa is a fast growing plant that thrives in hot, arid climates and is used all over the world because of its antifungal, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties
Moringa tea can be made today as it has been for thousands of years: by steeping fresh leaves or dried leaves in hot water for a couple of minutes. For optimum taste, simply add the moringa loose leaf to a mug, pour in some freshly boiled water and let it brew for two minutes and it’s yours to enjoy and harness the wellbeing benefits of moringa!
