Hibiscus flower is used for a number of purposes, including the religious ones as well.
Not only does the flower looks beautiful inside out but it also comes with a number of benefits for your skin, hair, heart and overall health related issues.
In this article, we will be discussing about the benefits of hibiscus powder.
1. Healthy, Glowing Skin
Hibiscus powder is exceptionally rich in antioxidants including polyphenols and anthocyanins, a type of flavonoid that gives red, purple, and blue plants their rich colouring. You only need to look at the vibrant colour of Hibiscus Powder to see it is a rich source of antioxidants. Antioxidants are molecules found in certain plants that help fight free radicals in the body. Free radicals can damage collagen, which can cause skin dryness, fine lines, wrinkles and premature ageing so eating a diet rich in antioxidants can help prevent damage to the skin, particularly in the long-term.
2. Boost energy level
Hibiscus Powder is a source of iron and calcium, two minerals that contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism in the body. Adding 1-2 teaspoons of hibiscus powder to your daily routine is a delicious way to boost your energy levels.
3. Prevents cancer
As per a research, an enzyme in hibiscus flower helps to prevent cancer as well as prevents its symptoms. However, the same is not yet proven scientifically but in case it does in the future, it is surely going to be a miracle plant.
4. Treats cold
People have been using hibiscus powder and flower since ages to cure cough and cold. In fact, this is one of the best remedies to get rid of cough and cold. This can also be used with honey and ginger for best results. Though, it may not be that good to taste but who does not want to be healthy?
5. Anti-ageing agent
