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, nourish the blood, enhance beauty, improve blood circulation, and alleviate discomfort after consuming greasy food. It can also help reduce liver fire and address the issue of frequent breakouts caused by it. The calyx of the 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, and phosphorus. These components have effects such as calming the liver and reducing fire, clearing heat and inflammation, generating fluids to quench 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, promoting diuresis, 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 anti-parasitic effect.Recommendation: Due to the high content of organic acids in hibiscus, individuals 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.
