Anthony's Organic Hibiscus Flowers, 1 lb, Cut & Sifted, Gluten Free, Non GMO, Non Irradiated, Keto Friendly

I purchased three bags of this; the first two were delicious, but I did notice small pieces of ground up paper and plastic mixed in on several occasions. My third bag immediately produced a strong, musty aroma. The following day, I made another batch, which was just as bad. I began sorting the tea and discovered the usual shredded paper and plastic, as well as a large quantity of hibiscus seeds and other miscellaneous items such as large seeds resembling pumpkin seeds, a piece of peanut shell, and a goat-like creature. a thorn in the head, as well as small pieces of wood, rocks, hair, and a few small dead beetles The hibiscus itself is also very dark in color, with a lot of brown and not much purple. The level of quality has plummeted. I'm on the lookout for a new brand. br>**Photos of the Sacagawea dollar coin are for scale purposes only**.

Unfortunately, since my first encounter with Anthony's products a few years ago, the quality of his products has deteriorated. This dried, cut, and sifted Hibiscus for tea contained "debris" that was not hibiscus, including pumpkin or squash type seeds, heart shaped seed pods, pieces of synthetic fiber, green leaves (hibiscus isn't green), and sticks. This debris voids the product's gluten-free status and makes us Celiacs sick. Furthermore, the taste of the brewed tea was terrible; it was tart, but it also tasted like "wood. " Awful product; I threw it away and will not buy from them again. Instead, I'll purchase it from the same tea company that I did last year. The following is a lesson learned: Don't stray from your comfort zone!.

This Anthony's brand of hibiscus tea is fresh and delicious, and I love it. I've also bought other brands I like, such as Frontier and Dualspices, in the past. In terms of taste and quality of the herb, I can't tell the difference between them, and they're all labeled as organic. As a result, when it's time to reorder hibiscus, I usually go with Anthony's based on availability and current price; I've also purchased many different organic, bulk teas from Anthony's over the years and have never been disappointed with any of them. br>br>For any of my fellow, health-conscious readers, I've included a list of resources below. hibiscus-oriented consumers who might be interested, and information from my own personal hibiscus research. br>br>Hibiscus has a rich, rose-colored flower. pink- tea with different colors This herb's dark pigment indicates that it's high in flavonoids, plant metabolites with antioxidant properties. Hibiscus also contains a lot of vitamin C. Antioxidants and vitamin C are both potent healing agents in the human body. They aid in the prevention of infections, heart disease, and cancer, the latter by preventing cancerous tumors from spreading. They have an anti-terrorist unit as well. Inflammation has been linked to virtually every known disease, including heart disease, cancer, and autoimmune disorders like arthritis, according to decades of research. br>br>Hibiscus is well-known for its ability to help lower blood pressure, as evidenced by scientific research. It also aids in the reduction of cholesterol, blood sugar levels, liver and kidney health, menstrual cramp prevention, depression relief, digestion, and constipation prevention. It can help with diarrhea or constipation in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It works as a mild diuretic to keep edema at bay. It also aids in the reduction of the dreadful, health-damaging effects of smoking. Chemotherapy has a destroying effect. br>br>Herbs like hibiscus can be used for health and healing in a variety of ways. I've described those methods below for those who might find them useful. Herbal Tea (br>br>Herbal Tea (br>br>Herbal Tea (br>br>Herbal Tea Cold-breathing is a technique that I use. Because I prefer cold tea, especially in the summer, I use an infusion to make my herbal teas, but the traditional method is to boil or simmer the dried hibiscus flowers. 1 tablespoon dried hibiscus flowers in the bottom of a 32-ounce mason jar is my method. glass jar with a capacity of 8 oz. After that, I sprinkle half a teaspoon of stevia powder on top of the herbs, fill the jar nearly to the top with purified water, screw on the lid, and store it in the refrigerator. Within a few hours, the hibiscus tea is ready to drink; I shake the bottle, remove the lid, and strain the tea into another glass bottle using a strainer placed inside a funnel. br>br>In my morning green smoothie, I use 2 cups of hibiscus tea, as well as 2 tablespoons of hibiscus flowers strained from a batch of tea, for added hibiscus benefit. br>br>A minimum of three cups of hibiscus tea per day, taken consistently, is recommended for preventing high blood pressure. To put it another way, taking it for a few days, weeks, or months and then stopping won't make your blood pressure go away forever. Taking hibiscus tea for seven days to cure an infection isn't the same as taking antibiotics for seven days. br>br>I'm guessing the recommended dosage would be the same if you don't have high blood pressure but want to drink hibiscus tea for its numerous health benefits. A person weighing 150 pounds can safely consume up to 15 cups (8 ounces) of hibiscus tea per day, according to the World Health Organization. (A gallon contains 16 cups, so the daily limit is just under a gallon. ) ) You'd drink less if you were less than that weight. You can drink more if your weight exceeds that.

When you don't feel like making or drinking tea, a tincture is a great alternative. Tinctures also provide more bang for your buck because they are administered sublingually, allowing the hibiscus to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream rather than passing through the digestive tract and liver, as it does when consumed as a tea. Hibiscus tincture is made in the same way that other herbal tinctures are. Making your own tinctures is a lot less expensive than buying ready-made ones. made. The instructions are as follows: 1. br>br> Obtain a clean, pint-sized container. a glass jar with a lid that holds 2 cups or 16 ounces (You can use a larger jar, such as a quart Mason jar, but the proportions will need to be adjusted accordingly. ) )
2. Obtain an 80 proof alcohol such as vodka or rum that can be consumed.
3. Hippopotamus should be half-filled in the jar.
4. 1 cup purified water, brought to a boil, is poured over the herbs until the jar is half full (it may not be necessary to use all of the water).
5. Fill the jar with about 1 cup of alcohol.
6. Shake the jar after tightening the lid. Put the name "Hibiscus Tincture" on the jar, along with the date it was made.
7. Keep the jar in a cool, dry place for at least 3 weeks, but preferably 6 weeks (I keep mine in a lower cabinet in my kitchen).
8. Shake the jar at least once a day (you can use your smartphone to set a reminder).
9. At the conclusion of the three-part series, 6 weeks after making the tincture, strain it through cheesecloth or a fine strainer and discard the herbs.
10. In a glass jar, store the tincture liquid in a dark (blue or brown) glass jar. Alternatively, if you have them, you could use them in a dark-colored environment. Dropper bottles made of glass.

If you're using clear glass, keep the tincture in a kitchen cabinet to avoid exposure to light.

Other Natural Ways to Lower Blood Pressurebr>br>Hibiscus is just one of many safe, natural ways to lower blood pressure, and it's a good idea not to "put all your eggs in one basket" and rely solely on hibiscus to solve the problem if you have high blood pressure, as the saying goes. It may be beneficial to incorporate some of the following other well-researched and well-tested methods of lowering high blood pressure into your daily health routine: 1. br>br> Mild exercise, such as walking, should be done on a regular basis.

6. Reduce your level of anxiety. Deep, diaphragmatic breathing is the simplest and most practical method. Exercising, listening to relaxing music, petting your pet, and laughing are also beneficial. (Free! )
7. Chocolate should be consumed in small amounts every day. Although this is a high-calorie food, the benefit can be obtained by eating just one small piece (6 grams) of dark chocolate per day. (It's inexpensive and tasty. ) )
8. Keep your weight in check. Many people begin to gain weight in their 30s as their metabolism slows down naturally, and this process is accelerated if they are also sedentary. It only takes a few hundred extra calories per day, as well as never stepping on a scale and realizing what's going on, to gain up to 7 pounds per year. The most effective way to lose weight is to change your lifestyle and consume the net amount of calories (food intake minus calories burned through regular exercise) needed to maintain your ideal weight. This procedure is now simplified by the use of a calorie-counting calculator. Use a smartphone app to keep track of calories consumed and calories burned through exercise, as well as weighing yourself at least once a week. (This is all provided at no cost. ) )

12. Calcium is a good supplement to take. This essential mineral has been shown to not only protect bones and prevent osteoporosis, but also to lower blood pressure. Calcium, on the other hand, has been shown in recent research to sometimes combine with cholesterol and form plaque in the arteries when taken alone. Calcium, magnesium, vitamin D3, and vitamin K2 should all be taken together to prevent this. Calcium is transported where it belongs, in bones and teeth, and away from where it does not belong, in the arteries, by the latter two. Calcium citrate powder can be purchased in bulk at a discount. It can be mixed into fruit juices, herbal teas (such as this hibiscus tea), or a morning smoothie. (It is inexpensive. )br>13. Magnesium is a good supplement. This important mineral aids in the prevention of heart attacks and the reduction of high blood pressure. A daily dose of at least 400 mg of elemental magnesium is recommended. Magnesium relaxes all of the body's muscles and has no dangerous side effects, unlike muscle relaxant drugs. If you take too much, it will, at the very least, cause diarrhea. Magnesium is beneficial to all three types of muscle tissue found in the body. Here are a few examples: There are three types of muscle in the body: cardiac, smooth, and skeletal. Cardiac muscle is found in the heart's walls and is controlled in an unconscious manner. Smooth muscle can be found in veins and arteries, as well as the walls of hollow visceral organs such as the bowels, and it is also controlled involuntarily. Skeletal muscle is a type of muscle that is attached to the skeleton and controlled by the individual. Over 80% of chronic pain in the United States is due to skeletal muscle pain, and magnesium is a front-line treatment for it. As a first line of defense, It's also great for keeping your bowels in good working order. In emergency medicine, it's commonly used intravenously to treat myocardial infarction, severe asthma, eclampsia, and other conditions. Magnesium citrate powder in bulk or Epsom salt, also known as magnesium sulfate, are the cheapest forms of magnesium. Magnesium powder, like calcium citrate powder, can be mixed into fruit juice, herbal tea (such as this hibiscus tea), or a morning smoothie.

It has a lot of flavor and is fresh. As soon as you open the bag, you can smell the distinct scent of this product. One of the things I like about this product is that it comes with whole dried flower pieces rather than a powder. I will admit, as other users have stated, that this product contains particles such as small twigs, seeds, and plant pieces, which I don't mind. The product appears to have been minimally processed or sifted, bringing it as close to its natural state as possible, or picnicking it yourself. From my perspective, it gets a thumbs up; just make sure it's clean and free of foreign matter before using or serving it. br>br>I use it for a variety of reasons, including health benefits such as blood pressure reduction. That is exactly what happened. Also, it's a great way to enjoy tea without the caffeine: simply steep, chill with ice, add lemon, and a little agave syrup (optional) and you've got a healthy drink option for any time of day. It's similar to a tropical punch or a tangy-sweet cocktail. hypnotic deep reed color of sweet lemonade Actually, it's delicious both warm and cold. br>br>This product was fantastic, and I will be ordering it again!.

Following a good experience in October 2019, I received a terrible batch, just like at least one other reviewer named Bryan who also purchased this product in January 2020. The flavor was indescribably unpleasant - I've never had any other organic hibiscus flowers before, and like Bryan, I discovered plastic in this batch. On the plus side, the one-pound bag appeared to contain far more than a pound of product. I had a pound bag, but that just meant I had more of a bad thing on my hands. I returned to a brand I'd previously purchased in large quantities.

I was interested in trying this product because it appeared to be from a smaller company, and the price seemed to be the most reasonable for what I needed. I'm so glad I took the chance! The product I received is fantastic (as seen in the photo). I searched the bag for "inconsistencies," but there were none. I can easily make two cups of tea from a tablespoon and a half of tea. After drinking this, I feel almost immediately relaxed! I can attest to the reduction in blood pressure, but different people will experience different results based on their unique circumstances. Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase and anticipate receiving the same level of service when I place another order.
