Aim: Hibiscus Sabdariffa Tea has received media publicity in recent times due to its ability to reduce blood pressure. The plant has been extensively researched as an alternative to help control high blood pressure, but yet, not much research had been conducted in Ghana on its antihypertensive properties. The objective of this study was to examine the antihypertensive effects of H. sabdariffa (hibiscus tea) with the brand name Nyarkotey Tea approved by the FDA in Ghana for cardiovascular Health and general wellbeing. Method: An observational study was conducted in one male hypertensive patient aged 33years with systolic pressure 180mmHg and diastolic pressure 120mmHg but not taking any pharmaceutical hypertensive drug. He was monitored for a day with the dosage, two tea bags in 500ml water boiled for 5 minutes three times. Result: After the third dosage, His blood pressure reading was monitored in the evening. His systolic pressure fell to 150mmHg and diastolic reading also fell to 100mmHg. His systolic pressure had 30 point reduction whilst his diastolic pressure had 20point reduction. Conclusion: This is the first observational study in Ghana to suggest daily consumption of hibiscus tea, in a concentrated bioenergized form, lowers blood pressure level and may prove an effective component in cardiovascular health management.
