What are the benefits of Hibiscus tincture?

Hibiscus (Hibiscus Sabdariffa, if you’re feeling tea-chnical) is an immunity boosting herb that can help cleanse & support your liver, lower your blood pressure (naturally) and soothe UTIs.

Not to be outdone by other herbs, Hibiscus tincture can help with:

• Slowing down the ageing process (goodbyeee wrinkles!)
• Lowering inflammation throughout your body
• Preventing diabetes and heart disease
• Lowering your cholesterol levels
• Slowing (or killing) the spread of bacteria, viruses and fungus

Hibiscus isn’t suitable for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Please consult with your doctor before use if you’re taking other medications (especially other diuretics) or have significant health issues. 

We at Jesellah Farm—Elle, Hannah, and Jess—are proud to bring you the finest, organic herbs on the market, all with the goal of improving your health and wellbeing. As the farmers, pickers, driers, choppers, blenders, and packers, we strive to bring our farm direct to your door, ensuring you experience the full benefit of these potent natural remedies.

Hannah, Jessie and I create our delicious Hibiscus Tincture on our farm, Jesellah Farm (short for 'Jess -Elle -Hannah').

We tend to our a one acre organic permaculture based medicinal herb farm in Gulmarrad, NSW. We employ regenerative agriculture principles to ensure the fertility of our land for future generations, as we want to be able to leave the world a better place for our descendants.

How much Hibiscus tincture do I have?
Adults use 1ml daily.

How do I use a tincture?
Simply put the recommended amount under your tongue or in a glass of water or juice.

Do I choose alcohol based or Glycerine based?
Glycerine based is a sweet, sugar like solvent that is better for children, those that have a religious or health aversion to alcohol, or those that do not like the taste of alcohol based tinctures.

Alcohol based tinctures have a virtually indestructible lifespan and you will be able to use it for years to come.

What are the side effects of using Hibiscus?
Hibiscus can cause a drop in blood pressure and should be avoided if taking blood pressure medication.  

Hibiscus can also decrease your blood sugar levels and shouldn’t be used without medical supervision if you’re taking diabetes medication.

As always, use only as directed and consult with your doctor before use with other medication (especially diuretics). Not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women.   

When is the best time to use Hibiscus?
Before bedtime (to facilitate peaceful slumber and awaken energized) or in the morning (to recover quickly and revitalize) — either way, you'll be invigorated and enthusiastic to hit the gym or breakfast.

Is Hibiscus the herb for me?Hibiscus tea is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women.  Use only as directed and check with
your doctor before use with other medications (diuretics). 

If you’re on medication or under the supervision of a doctor for a chronic condition, check with your medical professional before use.
