Question 3

hi all i had been drinking hibiscus tea for 3 days , 3cups a day , and i felt slight giddy each time i finish , what does it tell ?

Accepted Answer

Giddy: The first thing to do is to stop drinking three cups of hibiscus tea a day for about a week.

If you stop having the symptoms you will no how to proceed.

If the symptoms do not go away it is unlikely related to hibiscus tea and you should see your doctor for evaluation and management.

Question 4

i drank hibiscus tea and felt nauseaus after. i wanted to vomit and so i did. i felt better instantly. is that just my body's way of releasing toxins or should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Don't be worried: because your body took care of the issue.  Hibiscus tea is quite safe, even has some health benefits like reducing blood pressure.  Plus, it's tasty!  But maybe your body is saying you don't like it, or there was something else in it that didn't agree with you.  I wouldn't worry too much about toxins being involved at all.

Question 5

can my husband drink hibiscus tea if he is on warfarin. he take 5mg. daily. his inr has to be 2.0 to 3.0...thank you?

Accepted Answer

Not sure: I couldn't find anything specifically about HIBISCUS tea, but tea in general can both antagonize warfarin (lower the INR) and also promote bleeding by interfering with platelet function which won't show up in the INR. That said, I'll bet a lot of people on warfarin drink tea, so if he loves tea, I'd say use it cautiously and monitor the INR.

Question 6

if you have allergies to different pollens is it likely you'll be allergic to orange pekoe and other types of tea since it's made from plants?

Accepted Answer

No: You should be fine.  There is definitely Food / Pollen  allergic cross reactivity between pollens and certain common fruits as in the "Oral Allergy Syndrome" but this tends not to occur with plants in general.

Question 7

i am on my second day of period and had a cup of hibiscus tea today. noticed that im bleeding more than usual since than. is is related to hibiscus tea or just a coincidence?

Accepted Answer

: I'm guessing just a coincidence. Hibiscus tea does have some estrogen effect, but it is mild and I am guessing you drank one cup and not a whole lot. Even if you did drink more it is probably not enough to effect your period. If you really are bleeding a lot more than normal I'd be concerned about something other than the tea, though it is good to think about all possibilities.

Question 8

can hibiscus tea can lower down high blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

NO: Proven , right medications under your doctor can lower your blood pressure , prevent complications ,  like stroke , heart attack etc , please your doctor and take hibiscus tea as health supplement.

Question 9

i am 69. can hibiscus tea cause fibroids to grow due to increased estrogen ?

Accepted Answer

Hibiscus tea: At your age, the amount of estrogen in your system is very low, unless you are taking estrogen supplementation.  Hibiscus tea does not have enough composition to increase fibroid size, so if you have an enlarged uterus, or abnormal bleeding, see your gyn provider immediately.

Question 10

why after a cup of tea i felt cold flu and restless accompany by dizziness.am i allergy to caffeine or tea leave?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps the caffeine: is causing you anxiety.  Some people experience this and it's not a true allergy, but the response of being overstimulated from the Caffeine.  Try and cut back or go decaf.
