Patient's question:
I would like to ask if lotus flower has the effect of regulating endocrine?Doctor's answer:
Hibiscus flower can invigorate blood, enrich the blood, nourish the skin, improve blood circulation, and alleviate discomfort after eating greasy food. It can also help reduce liver fire and address the issue of frequent breakouts caused by it. The calyx of hibiscus flower is a fleshy structure, juicy, and rich in protein, organic acids, vitamin C, various amino acids, and a large amount of natural vitamins and minerals required by the human body, such as iron, calcium, phosphorus, etc. These components have effects such as calming the liver and reducing fire, clearing heat and inflammation, generating fluid and quenching thirst, lowering blood pressure and reducing fat, refreshing the mind and calming the spirit, and removing free radicals. They also have functions such as cooling, detoxifying, diuretic, and lowering blood pressure. Additionally, some other components are non-toxic and have a relaxing effect on the intestines and uterine muscles, as well as an anthelmintic effect.Recommendation: Due to the high content of organic acids in hibiscus, people with excessive stomach acid should avoid drinking it.
Suitable combinations: Can be brewed alone or paired with green tea.
Brewing method: Use one teaspoon of dried petals and steep them in a cup of boiling water for about ten minutes. Honey or brown sugar can be added to taste.
