Hibiscus Sabdariffa, Clove, Ginger, Cinnamon: 'An Evaluation of Natural Remedies for Hypertension Parameters'
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Food, herbal drinks, hot and cold beverages, food industry flavoring, and herbal medicine are among the traditional uses of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. (Hs, roselle; Malvaceae). In vitro and in vivo studies, together with a few clinical trials, provide the majority of the data for phytochemically poorly defined extracts. The extracts showed lipid metabolism (anti-cholesterol), anti-diabetic, anti-hypertensive, nephro- and hepato-protective, and renal/diuretic effects in addition to their antibacterial and antioxidant qualities. This may be related to strong antioxidant qualities, inhibition of α-glucosidase and α-amylase, suppression of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), direct vaso-relaxant actions, or regulation of calcium channels. The effects of hibiscus sabadariffa are likely mediated by anthocyanins (delphinidin-3-sambubioside and cyanidin-3-sambubioside), organic acids, and phenolic acids (especially protocatechuic acid).
