Hibiscus sabdariffa, known as Rosella or Roselle, is widely used in tropical herbal medicine and as a nutritious sour beverage. The dried calyces are rich in anthocyanins, polyphenols, hibiscus acid, and strong antioxidants that support heart health, metabolism, blood pressure, and liver wellness. Traditionally, rosella tea is consumed to cool body heat, support digestion, promote urination, and maintain cardiovascular balance.
Modern studies confirm its benefits for healthy blood pressure, antioxidant activity, mild weight-supporting effects, blood sugar regulation, and liver protection. Rosella also shows moderate anticancer potential due to its high polyphenol concentration.
