Constantly high blood pressure increases the risk of developing two deadly conditions – heart attack and stroke. Doctors from the British Heart Foundation (BHF) call hypertension a “serious” problem in today's medicine.

High blood pressure has practically no noticeable symptoms, so it is vital to periodically monitor it. As a rule, the cause of the disease is an unhealthy lifestyle and improper diet.

But it can be reduced not only with the help of medications, but also with some plants that are not inferior in effectiveness to medical drugs. These include the famous flower, which is usually used to make medicinal tea. This decoction, known for its tart taste, can be drunk both hot and cold. It is about the “exotic” hibiscus.

Scientists explained that this “tropical wild plant” is rich in “organic acids, polyphenols, anthocyanins and polysaccharides, beneficial for the cardiovascular system.” Daily consumption of the drink significantly reduces blood pressure after just two weeks. Interestingly, the maximum effect was noticeable in people who suffered from severe hypertension.
