Description for: Dried Hibiscus Flowers (cut & sifted)
Hibiscus flowers are well known to gardeners in Southern California and Florida, where the colorful blooms adorn many garden. These herbs come from a member of the mallow family known as hibiscus sabdariffa, or more commonly the “rosemallow.” The mallow family is a genus of tropical and sub-tropical plants that includes cocoa, cotton and okra as well as other natural herbs from such regions. Dried hibiscus flowers have many uses that include commercial, culinary and medicinal. Commercially, these dried herbs are used in the manufacture of paper. Reported therapeutic uses of these medicinal herbs include treatment of fungal infections as well as dandruff; in India (where whole hibiscus flowers are offered to the Hindu deities Kali and Gonesha), a dried powder make from such organic herbs is made into a paste and applied to the scalp for this purpose. Although there are no known adverse effects from the use of hibiscus flowers, be aware that any reported therapeutic effects have not been scientifically proven.
