Hibiscus Tea has antiviral benefits
Did you know that Hibiscus tea has antiviral properties? I had never thought about it or had Hibiscus Tea but when I asked God on how to begin to overcome the current virus in our community, hibiscus was part of the answer.
So I researched Hibiscus Tea and found the answer is yes, in fact, not all teas are equal and Hibiscus has specific benefits towards strains of the flu virus. See the article citation below.
High antiviral effects of hibiscus tea extract on the H5 subtypes of low and highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses…
Thus, not all plants exhibited high antiviral effects against H5N1 HPAIV. However, our study indicated that in addition to the crude hibiscus extract, the fractionated component (frHibis), which has a low molecular weight (<3 kDa), also exhibited strong antiviral effects against H5N1 HPAIV strains, irrespective of origin.

I am not an expert, but it looks like Hibiscus Tea is something worth looking into as you look for healthy ways to boost your immune system, improve heart health and live a free and healthy life.
Hibiscus Tea is known for improving heart health, helping to reduce weight and improving the immune system, but it also comes with warnings of negative reactions to medicine, affecting estrogen levels and harmful if you already have low blood pressure. So, it is always good to consult with your doctor and be aware of your body when changing your diet or activities.
