These compounds are said to help stop the release of certain inflammation-causing markers in your body. Lemongrass tea is sometimes used as an adjuvant therapy during chemotherapy and radiation. A 2012 study on rodents showed that lemongrass may also be effective against gastric ulcers. Lemongrass is a well-known diuretic. In a 2012 observational study, 72 male volunteers were given either lemongrass tea or green tea to drink. Those who drank the lemongrass tea experienced a moderate drop in systolic blood pressure and a mild increase in diastolic blood pressure. They also had a significantly lower heart rate. Although these findings are exciting if you have high systolic blood pressure, researchers caution that men with heart problems should use lemongrass in moderation. This can help you avoid dangerous drops in heart rate or increased diastolic pressure. Lemongrass tea is used as a detox tea to kick-start your metabolism and help you lose weight. Lemongrass tea is used as a natural remedy for menstrual cramps, bloating, and hot flashes. Senna is an herb in the legume family that’s often used as a laxative.

Horsetail is a fern that contains many beneficial compounds, notably antioxidants and silica. It’s found in the form of tea, tinctures, and capsules. Research suggests that horsetail may aid bone healing. Researchers believe that horsetail’s bone-remodeling effect is mostly due to its high silica content. In fact, up to 25% of its dry weight is silica. No other plant boasts as high of a concentration of this mineral Silica, which is also present in bones, improves the formation, density, and consistency of bone and cartilage tissue by enhancing collagen synthesis and improving the absorption and use of calcium A 2021 review of research found that horsetail may have potential as a therapy for kidney conditions, including urethritis and kidney stones research on the direct effect of horsetail on wound healing and nail health is needed to verify these benefits. Research suggests that horsetail may also benefit your hair, likely thanks to its silicon and antioxidant content.  It is also used for balding; tuberculosis; jaundice; hepatitis; brittle fingernails; joint diseases; gout; osteoarthritis; weak bones (osteoporosis); frostbite; weight loss; heavy menstrual periods; and uncontrolled bleeding (hemorrhage) of the nose, lung, or stomach. Horsetail is known for providing many other potential benefits including, Anti-inflammatory activity. Test-tube studies show that horsetail extract may inhibit lymphocytes, the main type of defense cells involved in inflammatory immune diseases and antimicrobial activity. Animal and test-tube studies suggest that horsetail extract may help lower blood sugar levels and regenerate damaged pancreatic tissue. Horsetail is mostly used as a skin, hair, nail, and urinary remedy. A dose of 900 mg daily for 4 days may have a diuretic effect, but overall, an appropriate dose has yet to be determined. Given that horsetail is an herbal remedy, it’s not approved by the FDA. Uva ursi can reduce bacteria in the urine and increase urine flow. It also seems to reduce swelling. Most research shows that taking oral uva ursi does not help to treat UTIs. Uva ursi has been used to lighten skin. It also may have anti-inflammatory and astringent activity. Uva ursi is an herbal extract used as a natural remedy for urinary tract infections. It’s made from the leaves of the bearberry bush. Some of the compounds in the leaves have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. In another small, randomized study on 57 women who had recurring UTIs, those who took a uva ursi extract with dandelion root (a diuretic) had fewer UTIs over the course of a year than those who received a placebo. This suggests that uva ursi may be more effective if you take it at the first sign of an infection. Furthermore, the hydroquinone in uva ursi also seems most effective against bacteria if your urine is alkaline, with a pH over 7. Caution: Lemongrass is generally considered safe to use in food amounts, including the amount typically used to make tea. Men with heart problems should use lemongrass in moderation. Potential side effects include dizziness, increased hunger, dry mouth, increased urination and tiredness. Senna is not recommended for frequent or long-term use, as it may alter normal bowel tissue function and cause laxative dependence.

Benefits of the hibiscus plant is rich in antioxidants such as beta-carotene, vitamin C and anthocyanin. Several animal studies and a few small human studies have shown hibiscus’s ability to fight inflammation. While more research is needed, it seems that hibiscus may offer helpful anti-inflammatory effects.  High blood pressure affects nearly half of all adults in the U.S., leading to serious health problems like heart attack, stroke, heart failure and kidney disease. In clinical trials, drinking hibiscus tea has been shown to lower blood pressure in humans. However, the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health points out that hibiscus and other herbal remedies only slightly lower blood pressure. They can’t replace medications for those who’ve been diagnosed with high blood pressure. Some studies have found that hibiscus tea may lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure. However, to prevent an interaction, it should not be taken in combination with blood pressure medications. Hibiscus may help maintain healthy cholesterol levels, but once again, we need more research to be sure. Several studies show a positive impact on weight loss, which could help prevent obesity — but these studies used hibiscus extract, a more concentrated form than hibiscus tea. A few human and animal studies have associated the consumption of hibiscus extract with decreases in body weight and body fat, but more research is needed. Some studies have shown that hibiscus tea may reduce blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels in those with diabetes and metabolic syndrome. However, other studies have produced conflicting results. More research is needed in the general population. In laboratory studies, hibiscus extract kept certain types of bacteria in check. While it’s clear hibiscus has antibacterial properties, researchers are studying its effectiveness in people. Test-tube studies have found that hibiscus extract could reduce the growth of certain strains of bacteria. More research is needed to determine how hibiscus tea may affect bacterial infections in humans. Hibiscus helps keep the liver healthy, according to several studies. The extract protects the liver from a variety of toxins, likely due to its powerful antioxidant activity. It’s even demonstrated some anti-cancer activity in laboratory tests of liver cells. Human and animal studies suggest that hibiscus extract may benefit liver health by reducing liver damage and improving fatty liver disease. Test-tube studies suggest that hibiscus extract reduces the growth and spread of several types of cancer cells. However, human studies are needed to evaluate the effect of hibiscus tea. Many people do not know that hibiscus flowers are beneficial for skin and hair. It has some amazing properties that can help you in treating your skin and hair problems. Hibiscus is a rich source of hydroxy acids that can make your skin healthy and beautiful.

Caution: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers hibiscus safe when consumed in food. However, it’s possible to have an allergic reaction to the plant. In very high doses, hibiscus may cause liver damage. We recommend talking with your healthcare provider, as it could interact with some medicines. According to other sources, hibiscus consumption is not safe for people who take chloroquine, a medication for malaria. Hibiscus may decrease how well the medicine works in the body. People with diabetes or on high blood pressure medications should monitor their blood sugar and blood pressure levels when consuming hibiscus. Women who are pregnant and breastfeeding should consult your doctor. 

Research shows drinking beet juice, also known as beetroot juice, may benefit your health. Beet juice may help lower your blood pressure. Researchers found that people who drank 250 milliliters (or about 8.4 ounces) of beet juice daily lowered both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Nitrates,  compounds in beet juice that convert into nitric oxide in the blood and help widen and relax blood vessels, are thought to be the cause. Improving Stamina is another benefit. According to a small 2012 study Trusted Source, drinking beet juice increases plasma nitrate levels and boosts physical performance. May improve muscle power in people with heart failure. Results of a 2015 study suggest further benefits of the nitrates in beet juice. The study showed that people with heart failure experienced a 13 percent increase in muscle power 2 hours after drinking beet juice. May slow the progression of dementia. According to a 2011 study Trusted Source, nitrates may help increase blood flow to the brain in older people and help slow cognitive decline. After participants consumed a high-nitrate diet that included beet juice, their brain MRIs showed increased blood flow in the frontal lobes. The frontal lobes are associated with cognitive thinking and behavior. More studies are needed, but the potential of a high-nitrate diet to help prevent or slow dementia is promising. Straight beet juice is low in calories and has virtually no fat. It’s a great option for your morning smoothie.  It’ll give you a nutrient and energy boost as you start your day. Beets get their rich color from betalains, which are water-soluble antioxidants. According to a 2016 study Trusted Source, betalains have chemo-preventive abilities against some cancer cell lines. Beets are a good source of potassium, a mineral and electrolyte that helps nerves and muscles function properly. Drinking beet juice in moderation can help keep your potassium levels optimal. Besides potassium, beet juice provides: Iron, magnesium, manganese,  Sodium, zinc, copper, and selenium.  Beet juice is a good source of folate. The antioxidant betaine potentially helps prevent or reduce fatty deposits in the liver. Betaine may also help protect your liver from toxins. A 2011 study on rats found that beetroot extract lowered total cholesterol and triglycerides and increased HDL, or "good," cholesterol. It also reduced oxidative stress on the liver. Researchers believe beetroot’s cholesterol-lowering potential is likely due to its phytonutrients, such as flavonoids.  

Caution: Your urine and stools may turn red or pinkish after eating beets. This condition, known as beeturia,  is harmless. However, it may be startling if you don’t expect it. If you have low blood pressure, drinking beet juice regularly may increase the risk of your pressure dropping too low. Monitor your blood pressure carefully. If you’re prone to calcium oxalate kidney stones, don’t drink beet juice. Beets are high in oxalates, which are naturally occurring substances that form crystals in your urine. They may lead to stones.

It is a traditional Mexican remedy that is native in Mexico and Southwest region of United States. It has many benefits such as helps with diabetes, constipation, anti-viral, reduces cholesterol, protects nerves cells, contains antioxidants and reduces hangover symptoms. Nopal cactus has antiviral properties, and some preliminary research has found that it has antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus (HSV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and HIV. Nopal cactus can protect against Nerve cells damage. For instance, a 2014 study  found that it contains neuroprotective properties. This can help prevent nerve cells from damage or loss of function. Nopal cactus is full of antioxidants and a 2013 study found that the cactus is able to reduce oxidative stress. One research indicates that nopal cactus can decrease regular blood sugar. A 2012 study, for example, recommends taking nopal cactus together with other diabetes medications to help regulate blood sugar. Early research has shown that nopal cactus may help to treat enlarged prostates and may even be effective in helping treat prostate cancer. Nopal cactus may be able to lower cholesterol with much fewer side effects than traditional cholesterol medications. Nopal cactus may actually help with the symptoms of hangovers. There’s a catch — it’s most effective when you take the cactus’s extract before you start drinking, preventing the problem instead of treating it later. A 2004 study found strong evidence that nopal cactus extract significantly reduces the severity of hangovers when taken before drinking.  Practitioners of traditional medicine have used both parts of the nopal plant for treating and preventing a range of conditions and symptoms, including glaucoma, wounds, fatigue,  liver conditions, ulcers. Caution: Nopal cactus is considered safer when eaten as a food instead of a supplement; this has the fewest side effects. While supplements are considered to be possibly safe, more evidence is needed.  Potential side effects of nopal cactus supplements include Headache, Nausea, Bloating, diarrhea, or an increase of stool. There have been some cases of allergic or sensitive reactions to eating cactus fruit, although these appear to be rare. A reaction might include: a skin rash, Itching, swelling. If a person develops breathing difficulties, someone should seek immediate medical attention. They may be experiencing anaphylaxis, a severe and life-threatening allergic reaction. The powder form is highly concentrated, taking too much can cause constipation or diarrhea. Drink more water if constipated and decrease intake of nopal if diarrhea occurs. Women who are pregnant or trying to become pregnant should not take nopal cactus supplements, because there isn’t reliable information about whether it is safe. If you have diabetes, you should be particularly careful when consuming nopal cactus or its supplements, as it can affect your blood sugar. Talk to your doctor before taking it, and make sure that you check your blood sugar frequently when testing it.
