MENSTRUAL STIMULUS!!!

in #health7 years ago

 “Hibiscus flower and leaf is used to regulate menstrual cycle and to treat problems incurred during the menstrual period,” says Patrick Kabugo, a researcher and herbalist.

He explains that the drink stimulates blood flow in the uterus or the pelvic region because it has shown emmenagogue effects.

However, due to the emmenagogue effects, Kabugo discourages pregnant women from taking hibiscus drink to avoid complications.

And for those taking birth control pills and undergoing hormonal treatment, you need to see your doctor to approve or deny your consumption of hibiscus drink, he cautions.

Meanwhile, on the local market, the hibiscus flower costs between sh12, 000 to 15,000 a kilogram.

Nakityo says hibiscus is not about being on-season or off-season but prices just hike and reduce; and when they hike, a kilogram can rise to as high as sh20, 000.

In Nakasero market, hibiscus flower is also got from Tanzania and a kilogram ranges between sh15, 000 to sh17, 000.

Here's a simple way of making a flavoured hibiscus drink at home:

Pour cool boiled water in a bowl or jug.

Get the hibiscus flower petals and put them in the bowl of water.

You can add lemon or tangerine juice to get a flavor.

Then put in sugar.

Stir it and wait for five minutes as it changes color before you take.

Take warm or chilled, depending on your preference
