Abstract in brief

Hibiscus sabdariffa L (HS) has been traditionally used in at least 10 countries for treating hypertension and hyperlipidemia, with no significant side effects reported and low toxicity levels.
Animal and human studies indicate that HS extracts and teas can significantly lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides, with some evidence suggesting it works as a natural diuretic.
Overall, HS shows promise as a safe and effective option for managing cardiovascular risk factors, with comparable results to certain blood pressure medications and beneficial effects on lipid profiles in various studies.]
