Native to Angola, hibiscus has been used by North Africans to support respiratory health. Traditionally it has been used in Iran to support normal blood pressure levels, a function that modern science has confirmed. Not often known is its use in China to help heal shingles by rubbing the herb into the skin. It is also well known for its abilities to help regulate cholesterol levels, treat sunstroke, and counter the effects of too much alcohol.
