Lower BP with Hibiscus Tea.

Results of a study, in people ages 30 to 70,  by researchers at HHRCA Antioxidants Research
Labs. Tufts Un., Boston.
Drinking hibiscus tea may reduce blood pressure as well as some blood pressure medications.
Adults with prehypertension or mild hypertension who enjoyed 3 cups of hibiscus tea every
day for 6 weeks saw a 7.2 point drop in their systolic pressure (the top number).  Those
taking the placebo drink saw only a 1 point drop.
The participants with the highest blood pressure at the start of the study saw the biggest
benefit.
Hibiscus tea is rich in antioxidants and has a tart fruity taste.
