      that proves one thing, it is not easy to measure the effect in our body , the are doing this in cholesterol, sugar, coconut oil, vitamine D, etc etc... short answer is moderate in every thing, a cup or 2 of tea, another cup of coffee, a cup of hipscus, a cup of water, another of fresh juice, that is more than enough for a a day. happy day

    If you intend to grow your own hibiscus for use as tea, just be sure it is the right species, as the mallows are a large plant family that much resemble one another in many cases. Only one of them is the right one for tea. The flowers from species Hibiscus sabdariffa are the tea, though the leaves are edible as well.
    The plant is native to South Africa and it is not the exotic flower that comes in many colours that we see in most garden centres or florists. The plant is actually grown for use as a fibre, like jute, as well as for the leaves and flowers. Flowers are white or pale yellow with a red dot at each petal base. You can brew a whole flower that is fresh or has been dried and blend it up like the good doctor does if you wish. In tea bags, the flowers will be very finely chopped up and it can be hard to tell just what's in a tea bag. I prefer the tea made from the whole flower, personally.

    I drink 2 cups of Hibiscus tea a day to normalise my Blood pressure dropped from 130/90 to 120/80 on average. Hibiscus has similar qualities to a calcium channel blocker prescribed by a Gp. The advice I gained before drinking it is to not consume more than 3 cups a day as it can dramatically lower your BP and cause low blood pressure if to much is consumed also it is a natural diuretic.

    If anyone else is stuck on the archaic language and wants to know the recommendation in tea bags... After some digging I found another video (Overdosing on Tea) where Dr Greger implies that a regular cup of tea at standard strength is 250mL. So when he refers to a quart I think he's trying to say 4 cups of tea, or 4 tea bags of Red Zinger, or about 10g of hibiscus flowers.

    Saying a quart of tea is kind of broad given the fact that we all make our tea in different strengths. I brew mine very light, so I think a quart more than doubles for me. I get about 5 to 6 quarts per two tablespoons of Hibiscus flowers. Perhaps the reason I could drink it so light is because I add two organic unbleached peppermint tea bags to mine when brewing. I am curious to know in flower form though how much would be considered too much. Thanks for the video.

    Some questions i don't understand after watching the hibiscus tea videos: 1. Does soaking the hibiscus tea in hot water extracts more nutrients from the leaves in comparison to just soaking it in room temperature water over night in the fridge? 2. Will the tea loose some of its nutrients if soaked in the fridge over night? 3. Is it a must to soak the leaves in the fridge overnight (to keep it from spoiling?)? 4. Does mixing half a cup of lemon juice with 4 cups of water, 4 teaspoons of hibiscus and a small bunch of mint leaves is safe?

      Soaking it at room temperature is better, because you don't have to use energy for the extraction.

    Doc, you're not being specific here, let alone scientific. You keep referring to no more than a quart a day, but how concentrated is "your" quart compared to others. Some might use one table spoon of dried hibiscus per quart; and some might use 2 or three table spoon per quart of boiling water. Big differences! So you need to be specific as to how much of the dried hibiscus tea to take in a day, not the volume of the liquid tea, which is very misleading and widely variable in the tea concentration from one drinker to the other. That is just bucket chemistry and useless as an advice to people.
    People need to know how many grams of dry weight hibiscus per day they could take per kg body weight per day, not how much volume of tea they drink. You've never answer any of my questions but you really need to answer this question or else no one is going to respect this video of your after reading my comment. I'm vegan. I love you, I respect you for your works, but I and many others want nothing but wants reliable data and not have to guess whether the hibiscus tea I made is more or less concentrated than yours for comparison. Does my "quart" has doubled your "quart" in the dry weight of hibiscus tea, or perhaps tripled? Who knows?

    It may be wise to limit Hibiscus tea consumption to maybe 3 - 4 cups per day...

But Hibiscus with a bit of wild honey has a very nice floral taste and with all the health qualities including shrinking a swollen prostate.

      ***Greetings, Beloved of God. This message is lengthy but, it is very important.
      The ancient Israelites was tested by the Sabbath commandment to see if they would keep God’s law or no in Exodus 16:4-
      Do not be surprised if God allow man to do a similar test, enforce some type of Sabbath law to see if we will keep His law or no.
      ************************************************
      Right now, we all do not see eye to eye, but, please hear me out..............
      There is no way anyone can prove from the KJV Bible that Saturday, Sunday, etc. is the biblical seventh day Sabbaths. For, the words Saturday, Sunday, etc. do not appear in the Bible.
      A continuous Saturday, Sunday, etc., “man made Sabbaths” ARE NOT the true Bible Sabbaths because they are not calculated by true time. God’s true time is written in Genesis 1:14.
      When God commanded us to keep a seventh day Sabbath, kill the Passover on the 14th day of the first month, keep the day of atonement on the 10th day of the seventh month, etc......would He not have given us a calendar/Time to find these dates?
      Yes, He would have and He did, in Genesis 1:14. We are commanded to keep the days, years, etc. by the lights in heaven (the sun, moon and stars.)
      God did not specify which days, so, we must conclude that He meant for all of His 3 category of days to be kept by the lights in heaven.
      ***********
      The Sabbath command is one of the Ten Commandments listed in Exodus 20. It is just as important as the other nine and God commands us to keep it.
      Multitudes of people think and teach that we are only required to keep 9 of God’s Ten Commandments. My Friend, if we think this way, we are already deceived.
      ***The Sabbath is a feast. Leviticus 23:1-3
      ***The moon is for seasons. Psalms 104:19
      ***The lights in heaven are for seasons, etc. Genesis 1:14
      ***The words “feast” and “season” comes from the same Hebrew word, MOED.
      ***MOED is, appointed times, appointments, feast, season, etc.
      The Sabbath is a MOED, an appointed time , a feast, a season, etc. Therefore, the moon, along with the other lights in heaven, are for Sabbaths.
      THE SABBATH IS TO BE CALCULATED BY THE TIME GOD ORDAINED IN THE BEGINNING OF CREATION NOT BY MAN’S TIME/CALENDARS.
      Who can prove from Genesis 1:14 that the Sabbath day is not calculated by the lights in heaven? Although many have tried, it cannot be refuted!!
      Take a glimpse at the dates in Genesis 7:11 and Genesis 8:4,13,14. Are these dates calculated by the Time God commanded in Genesis 1:14 or by the Gregorian time or some other man made time?
      **********
      There are about 167 countries that keep Sunday as the seventh day and the remaining, approximately, 64 countries keep Saturday as the seventh day.
      If there is a “seventh day Sunday law” enforced and the remaining 64 countries change their calendars to read Sunday as the seventh day, then, the world will be keeping Sunday the seventh day as the Sabbath.
      Mon. Tue. Wed. Thur. Fri. Sat. Sunday Law
      1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7
      What day will you and I then keep as the Sabbath?
      Already today, there are “Sunday Blue Laws” on government books.
      Man can change “their” time anytime and deceive the world under the leadership of Satan. We must calculate God’s Sabbath by God’s Time so The Great Deceiver can not trick us about the true Sabbath and “cause” us to worship him.
      “ He will think to change time and laws.” says Daniel 7:25
      He only “THOUGHT” to change time when He “supposedly” had replaced God’s calendar with his calendar on earth. For he could not and has not truly change time because God’s Time sits in the heavens where no man can tamper with it! The sun, moon and stars, the lights in heaven, are God’s Time/Calendar.
      ***********
      God’s Calendar has three category of days, the new moon day, the six work days and the Sabbath day. 2 Kings 4:18-23 & Ezekiel 46:1-3. The new moon day is the first day of the month, the beginning of months. These days never, ever, ever overlaps each other on God’s Time!
      ........However, this is not true on the famous Gregorian calendar. The new moon day falls anywhere and everywhere on that calendar, in a given month.
      For example, sometimes, the new moon day falls on a “man made Saturday Sabbath”, on a “man made Sunday Sabbath”, in the midst of the month, etc.
      How can it both be the first day of the month and the seventh day Sabbath?
      How can the first day of the month start in the midst of a month?
      God said in Genesis 1:14 to, let the lights in heaven be for days, etc.
      So, which one or ones of God’s three category of days are kept by the lights in heaven?
      ...The new moon day?
      ...The six work days?
      ...The Sabbath day?
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      Example of God’s months:
      1st week... new moon day, six work days and Sabbath day
      2nd, 3rd, 4th weeks....six work days and Sabbath day
      The next month the cycle starts over.
      God’s months reset. Read Luke 6:1
      Man uses this same concept. For example:
      The 1st and 3rd Sunday in August, the 1st and 3rd Sunday in September.”
      “The 2nd and 4th Sabbath in April, the 2nd and 4th Sabbath in May.”
      Note: There is never, never, ever, ever, 5 weekly Sabbaths in any one of God’s months.
      This is not true on the Gregorian calendar. Sometimes, there are 5 weekly “Gregorian Sabbaths.” This is not in align with true time.
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      I believe there is a great deception coming to get people to worship Satan through a false Calendar/Sabbath controversy.
      God is a God of truth. God guides people by His truth. God’s Word is truth. Truth is our shield and buckler. Truth will keep us from all deceptions, the mark of beast, etc.
      Christ did not suffer on the cross for us to walk in a lie and continue to cling to our traditions! He did not die for us to keep obeying the “voice of man” above “the voice of God!”
      Read the stories about “King Saul” in 1 Samuel 15 and the “man of God” in 1 king 13. Let us learn a lesson from these testimonies....Obey God’s Voice!
      When we do and teach man’s commandments for doctrine, it is vain! It is useless! God does not honor it! There will be no reward!
      Again! there is a great possibility some type of “Man made Sabbath Law” could be enforced. These latter days crises seems to be pointing in that direction. If this is not true, then, we do not have to worry about it......But.....
      ....If it is truth then, we need to become more knowledgeable about this subject in order to make the right decision whom we will honor and serve.

      A Sabbath test will reveal those who believe Gods Word in Genesis 1:14 and those who do not believe His Word.
      Whether there is or whether there is not a “Sabbath Test”, we still need to know the truth about God’s Time written in the Word of God so we can be obedient in all things.
      ***Worship Him that made heaven, earth and sea.
      ***Babylon is fallen! Babylon is fallen!
      ***Do not worship the Beast and receive his mark, whosoever does, will be eternal lost and be burnt with fire and brimstones.
      ****Read Revelation 13 & 14
      This truth about God’s Calendar/Time and The Sabbath written in Genesis 1:14, Leviticus 23:1-3, Psalms 104:19, etc.is spreading throughout the four corners of the earth.
      This message enrages many who claim to be followers of Christ because they can not refute it. It seems, the people outside the church buildings are the ones eagerly accepting it and believing it.
      Please let us consider what is being said here and further research this important subject before it is to late.
      Peace and Love Friends of God

    that proves one thing, it is not easy to measure the effect of food in our body , the are doing this in cholesterol, sugar, coconut oil, vitamine D, etc etc... short answer is moderate in every thing, a cup or 2 of tea, another cup or 2 of coffee, a cup of hipscus, a cup of water, another of fresh juice, that is more than enough for a a day.
    if you love one drink a lot, ok 2 or 3, but then take a break for 2 or 3 days Just common sense, greetings.

    And according to one of Dr. Greger's other videos, hibiscus tea is hard on the enamel of the teeth, so you should rinse with water after drinking it. I thought I could avoid this by putting the ground dry hibiscus flowers in capsules and taking them like vitamin pills, but now am concerned about the aluminum and manganese intake.

    • @Honey-Bee-25
      @Honey-Bee-25 3 роки тому

      Do an overnight cold infusion by not adding water and just putting it in the fridge overnight at least 8 hrs. Then drink with a straw so it doesnt touch your teeth. But you can also swish your teeth with water immediately after drinking and be fine. Cold infusions are better anyways because they retain more vitamins and minerals that heat doesn't destroy, and it's often more concentrated in vitamins and minerals.

      it's going to be later, way later. There was a law on the books that all the road signs had to be converted to metric by the year 1980. I remember. Didn't happen. I use both for small things (tenthousandths of inches, inches, tenths of mm, mm, ml, grams) but large things (feet, yards, gallons, miles, pounds, tons) I'll always use imperial measures or use conversion charts. I doubt either one of us will live to see America convert. The law was ignored 35 years ago and there's no indication or demand for another one. I'm bi-metrical.

      Wade Patton I recall first learning the metric system in grammar school in the 70's, of course now working in technology, its second nature. I think it was Jimmy Carter who suggested we finally convert. Then came Reagan with his cowboy hat mentality and put a stop to that. As a kid, one of my father's skills was mechanical. He'd complain that the English system was obsolete, that was in the mid 70's as well. There are only three nations on the planet that use it, and embarrassing enough, the US is one.
