THE BENEFITS OF DRINKING ROSELLE


Roselle is one of the herbal drinks sold on Wednesdays at the Reading Hut outside the library. This drink is delicious and nutritious. The roselle drink is an infusion of the petals which are boiled in water and added with brown sugar.

Roselle is rich in powerful antioxidants, called anthocyanins. It has a lot of health benefits. Rosellle acts as an antiseptic, aphrodisiac, diuretic, sedative, tonic and is a folk remedy for abscesses, cancer, cough, debility, dyspepsia, fever, hangover, hypertension and neurosis.

In Thailand , Roselle is drunk as a tea to cool down body temperature and reduce blood cholesterol.

After all that is written, I hope that more people would give roselle a try.
