Benefits of Hibiscus: In the Vindhya region, the hibiscus plant is not limited only to worship, but is also considered very special for health. This red flower with scientific name Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is full of medicinal properties. The same hibiscus that grows in temples is now becoming increasingly popular as a natural remedy.

Beneficial for heart and blood pressure
Ayurvedic physician Dr. Vipin Singh says that hibiscus tea is rich in antioxidants and is considered beneficial for heart health. Regular consumption can help in controlling high blood pressure.

To make hibiscus tea, boil its fresh or dried flowers in water and then add some honey to it and drink. It protects the body from free radicals and strengthens the immune system.

Natural care for hair and skin
Hibiscus is also used extensively in hair and skin care. Grinding its flowers and leaves and mixing them with coconut oil and applying it on the head strengthens the hair roots and reduces dandruff. The problem of premature graying of hair can also be slowed down.

At the same time, mixing hibiscus flower powder with curd or rose water and applying it as a face pack improves the skin. Tanning and dullness are reduced and its antibacterial properties keep the skin clean.

Relief in cold, cough and digestion also
According to Dr. Vipin Singh, in Ayurveda, Hibiscus is considered a plant that calms Pitta Dosha. The decoction of its leaves and ginger provides relief from sore throat, cough and flu. It is also beneficial in problems like gas, indigestion and constipation.

Religious importance is also no less
Bright red hibiscus flowers are offered to the gods and goddesses. It is believed that this flower is dear to God and by offering it, wishes are fulfilled. That means hibiscus is not just a flower, but a precious gift of both worship and health.
