Hibiscus Tea

Hey, everybody! I hope this blog finds you well. Had a great weekend as I'm hoping you did the same. Real quick though, a useful tip in lowering one's blood pressure. At least in my case, God knows I could use a bit of help in that department. High blood pressure is a common issue that needs to be addressed quickly and safely.

Hibiscus tea. Yeah that cool looking flower that some of your Grandmothers grow in the front, back, or side yard. To better understand why the tea helps, its important to get some background on the plant itself. A genus flowering plant in the mallow family, Malvaceae. The name, hibiskos, comes from the Greek physician, pharmacologist and botanist Pedanius Dioscorides gave Althaea officinalis. The USDA came out with a report in 2008, showing hibiscus tea lower's blood pressure in pre and mildly hypertensive adults. Drink 3 cups daily for 6 weeks. 

This plant does some other cool stuff like cure coughs and hair loss/greying. In chinese herbal medicine, it is said that it can also be used as a sunblocking cream. 

I plan on doing more healthful hints in the next few weeks. If there is anything in paticular you would like to see, give me a shout on Facebook, www.facebook.com/fearofabakedplanet313

Checkin with all of you!!

First off...to the first time readers, thank you for checking out Fear Of A Baked Planet!

Real quick though, since I work two night jobs, I get bored during the day so today I decided it was a good day to pull out my Agromax 10x10 tent and put it together. This isnt my first time assembling a grow tent but my first time doing it alone. Its a learning process of course.

I'll write a post about the entire process really soon!
