Hibiscus tea, well-known as Zobo Drink, is not just a regular soda or beverage that soothes our taste buds but, in fact, a powerful medicinal tea that is safe for consumption by individuals across the globe. Indeed, Zobo is one of the most underrated beverages in some parts of the world where it is thought to be a juice that only the poor and middle-class citizens can afford.

Healthline reports that this tasty reddish-indigo juice bought from local stalls and supermarkets is made from Hibiscus sabdariffa, a flowering plant native to Africa, Asia, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Thailand, and China.

A plethora of essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals can be found in hibiscus tea (Zobo), which is used to treat a variety of clinical ailments and promote healthy growth. These include significant levels of vitamin B complex, vitamin C, flavonoids, calcium, phosphorus, and phenolic acids. Its anti-diuretic, anti-depressant, anti-oxidizing, ulcer-healing, menstrual pain-alleviating, and potential to treat male infertility are all due to these biochemicals. This article goes into great detail about seven major health issues that can be properly treated over time by regularly drinking hibiscus tea.

1. Peptic Ulcer 
Peptic ulcer popularly known as ulcer is an open sore in the stomach lining or at the top of the intestines caused by increased acidity of the stomach environment/ digestive tract. Helicobacter pylori (the pathogenic causal agent), excessive aspirin use, and poor lifestyle choices are the major causes of peptic ulcers. According to statistics compiled by medical professionals between 1990 and 2019, peptic ulcer disease is a common gastrointestinal condition that affects about 4 million people annually worldwide. Even though it’s a common misconception that ulcers cannot be cured, a recent nutritional analysis of the Zobo drink reveals that it is an excellent treatment for this medical problem. Ascorbic acid, vitamin C, and calcium are all found in abundance in Zobo Drink. These salient nutrients inhibit the activities of Helicobacter pylori - ulcer-causing bacteria and neutralize the acidity level of the stomach, thus reducing immense distress, bloating, and incidences of internal bleeding from peptic ulcers.

2. Male Infertility 
Infertility is a malady that reduces the chances of which a man can get his spouse pregnant. Infertility may be because of obstructions in the sperm duct, low sperm count, varicoceles, lifestyle, or injuries. It is a condition that most men suffer from in silence. However, zobo drink combined with ginger contains viable polyphenols that boost the production of testosterone in men, and repair cell damage and illnesses, thus addressing the situation.

Note that hibiscus tea plus ginger cannot treat female infertility. Instead, it lessens the chances of conceiving a child, causes miscarriage, and reduces estrogen production.

3. Obesity
According to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, obesity is having a body mass index (BMI) over 30- an abnormal body size brought on by too much body fat.

Natural phenolic chemicals found in hibiscus leaves, such as glycoside, hybrid, gallic acid, and quercetin, increase calorie expenditure and reduce urges for unneeded eating, thus reducing the risks of excess body fat accumulation.

4. Depression 
Hibiscus tea is an ideal option for persons who experience emotional instability. With increasing rates of insomnia, anxiety, and rage globally, pharmaceutical companies now extract flavonoids from hibiscus and use them to make antidepressant medication, which allegedly balances out psychological wellness.

5. Hypertension
High blood pressure, known as hypertension, is a condition in which the pressure exerted on the artery walls is very high, exposing one to brain dysfunction and heart failure. Nutritionists strongly advise hypertensive patients to drink three cups of hibiscus tea daily because it effectively regulates blood pressure against the arteries.

6. Diabetes

Pure hibiscus tea without added sugar is one of the greatest nutraceutical items that diabetics should regularly consume, according to Dr. Tim Bond of the Tea Advisory Panel in a journal article. Why? Insufficient insulin production by a diabetic’s liver prevents glucose from being produced from blood sugar (glucose). The potent polyphenolic substance ferulic acid, which is present in Zobo drink, prevents the body’s systems from breaking down carbohydrates, slowing the release of glucose into the bloodstream.

7. Kidney Stones 
Yes, a stone in the kidney is a medical condition that can happen to anyone, and hibiscus tea is the right beverage for the rescue. Ascorbic acid and maleic acid are crucial components in the mouth-watering quencher that flushes oxalic acids, toxic minerals, and body salts that crystalline in the urinary tract (kidney stones). This makes it easy for kidney stone patients to pass urine easily.
