The Benefits 

Hibiscus tea has benefited health and wellness all around the world for generations—from Mexico to Senegal to the Philippines. Ayurvedic medicine uses it as a cooling herb, naturally bringing down body temperature which makes it lovely for the summertime. When consumed three times a day, this flower is clinically-proven to lower blood pressure. Hibiscus is packed with antioxidants like Vitamin C, which fight free radicals, boost immunity, and improve brain function.

Lemongrass is a rich source of flavonoids and phenolic compounds, which contain antioxidants. It's also an effective antibacterial and antifungal agent that contains anti-inflammatory properties. Lemongrass contains quercetin, a flavonoid known for having antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, particularly for the respiratory system. 

Tulsi is a naturally sweet, ancient powerhouse used and revered for its immune-strengthening, antioxidant-rich properties that promote overall wellbeing. In addition, tulsi is anti-inflammatory and greatly beneficial to the health of the skin and hair. While tulsi has a long list of medicinal properties, it is most commonly celebrated for being an adaptogen. Adaptogens, among many things, help balance the negative effects of metabolic stress (blood sugar, pressure, and lipid levels) and psychological stress (memory, cognitive function, and antidepressant).
