The Hibiscus is a Sun plant, but the large funnel-shaped flower also means it is sometimes associated with Venus. It is used for divination, clairvoyance, or reaching higher planes and is an ingredient in Alder Moon Tea.

The whole buds have also been used as an aphrodisiac, stimulant and powerful sex tonic or coffee substitute, when taken with a pinch of lemongrass.

To make a tea, pour boiling water over 1-2 tablespoons of the flowers and strain after 5-10 minutes.

Medicinally, leaves are emollient, and are much used in Guinea as a diuretic, refrigerant, and sedative; Hibsicus products are traditionally used to treat nervous disorders such as heart palpitations, anxiety, convulsions and sometimes high blood pressure. The flowers contain gossypetin, anthocyanin, and glucoside hibiscin, which may have deeply serve to relax and nourish the nervous system, help to relieve pain, reduce tension and anxiety, and promote restful sleep without interfering with the natural sleep cycles.

Hibiscus not only makes a delicious beverage with relaxing effects, but it has a concentration of flavonoids, which play a large role in preventing the oxidation of low density lipoproteins (the "bad cholesterol"). This beautiful plant was first used in Upper Egypt, and has only grown in popularity for its color and flavor that it adds to a variety of drinks and teas.

A wonderfully tasting teas with great effects. Good for getting the blood flowing, and making any tea taste better.

a little "explaining" on my part to begin with.......i initially bought an ounce just to try as an herbal smoke. see, i hadn't heard of anybody smoking hibiscus, so i took it upon myself to be the human guinea pig :). anyway, the broken up dried buds are very, very, extremely hard, so smoking them as a cigarette is out of the question. as for the tea, i haven't noticed any "effects" per se, though i'm sure regular use is required for noticable effects. i've only made a few teas so far. i use 2 tsps. i'm not a big fan of teas; i'm very picky and generally sweeten them a whole lot. with this, i added some Stevia....the taste was kind of similar to koolaid. it's pleasant to sip, and is easily "drinkable" for those who certainly aren't tea connisseurs.....but those who like tea will love this! as a side note, the color is a deep reddish-purple, similar to the bud in the center of the picture, and would probably cause a nasty stain on a white shirt or carpet...just saying..
