If you’re wondering if it’s safe to drink hibiscus tea during pregnancy, you need to make sure it’s not too high in caffeine or a nutrient such as magnesium. 

Hibiscus tea may induce uterine contractions that can lead to a miscarriage or preterm labor. Hibiscus teas are safe to drink during pregnancy, but you should consult with your healthcare provider first.

It regulates hormone levels

Hibiscus has been used for centuries as a health remedy in both Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. It has potent antioxidant properties that promote weight loss, cardiovascular health, and protect against inflammatory conditions, as well as improving the reproductive health of women. 

However, there are concerns about hibiscus’ safety during pregnancy. Luckily, there is more information on hibiscus than you may think!

Hibiscus also helps balance blood pressure. In Europe and other traditions, hibiscus is used to balance blood pressure. As oestrogen levels drop, blood vessels are less flexible and constrictors. Increased blood pressure results from narrowed, thickened blood vessels. 

However, some women have reported relief from palpitations after taking hibiscus tea. You should seek medical advice before drinking this tea, so that you can make sure it is safe for you and your unborn child.

Herbal teas contain lower amounts of hibiscus than supplements, so the herbal tea is not harmful in small quantities. But you must be careful not to overdo it, as a higher dose could cause unwanted side effects. In addition, herbal teas can contain caffeine, so pregnant women should be cautious with how much they consume. 

During pregnancy, it’s important to avoid caffeine and alcohol. However, the amount of caffeine in hibiscus tea is small compared to what is found in supplement forms.

While the effects of hibiscus on blood pressure are unknown, it has a positive effect on cholesterol and blood sugar levels. High cholesterol is harmful for your heart, and you should avoid it if possible. High cholesterol is associated with a higher risk of heart disease. 

By regulating your cholesterol, hibiscus tea will make your body feel better. And unlike cholesterol-lowering medication, it does so without harming your baby.

Why is hibiscus tea so Popular among pregnant moms?

According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), hibiscus tea contains high levels of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and fiber. 

These nutrients help improve digestion and support healthy blood sugar levels. In addition, hibiscus tea also contains calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc, copper, manganese, and phosphorus.
