I needed to know.Abdominal bloatingis something that many experience after meals, myself included.
You yourself may know all too well that feeling of a heavy, swollen belly.
Why does hibiscus flower tea help with bloating?

The fruit acids present in this flower can work as a laxative, the nutritionist says.
I think its even better than the Sleepy Girl Mocktail.
Thats what it makes such a good companion with or after meals.

When is the best time to drink hibiscus flower tea?
you might buy premade tea bags with dried hibiscus flowers and add boiling water to drink hot.
(Serve over ice if you prefer it cold.)

And pro tip: If you combine it withgingerand a little lemon, you have the perfect anti-inflammatory cocktail.
The results are seriously impressive.
Of course, as Parada points out, Its not recommended to exceed two cups a day.
