Nutrition Facts
Sorrel, as it’s known in the Caribbean, is a species of hibiscus flower from West Africa. It is traditionally used as a gentle laxative and may help to reduce spasms of the stomach and intestines in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Drinking sorrel tea may help to lower blood pressure, but more research is needed.
Sorrel may have antibacterial effects. In cell studies, sorrel has been shown to fight off E. coli.
Sorrel or hibiscus should be avoided during pregnancy as it may cause the uterus to relax, increasing the risk of miscarriage.
