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/ ).
