Ivela e-Angola, i-hibiscus itshalwa ezindaweni ezishisayo zomhlaba, ikakhulukazi eSudan, Egypt, Thailand, Mexico naseChina. E-Egypt naseSudan, i-hibiscus isetshenziselwa ukugcina izinga lokushisa lomzimba elivamile, impilo yenhliziyo, nokulinganisela koketshezi. Abantu baseNyakatho Afrika kudala basebenzisa izimbali ze-hibiscus ukwelapha izinkinga zomphimbo, kanye nokusetshenziswa kwezihloko zobuhle besikhumba. EYurophu, lesi sitshalo sithandwa futhi ngezinkinga zokuphefumula, kwezinye izimo ngenxa yokuqunjelwa. I-Hibiscus isetshenziswa kakhulu ekuhlanganisweni ne-lemon balm kanye ne-St. John's wort yokukhathazeka nezinkinga zokulala. Cishe i-15-30% yezimbali ze-hibiscus zakhiwe ngama-asidi ezitshalo, okuhlanganisa i-citric, i-malic, i-tartaric acid, kanye ne-hibiscus acid, ehlukile kulesi sitshalo. Izithako eziyinhloko zamakhemikhali e-hibiscus zihlanganisa ama-alkaloids, anthocyanins kanye ne-quercetin. Eminyakeni yamuva nje, intshisekelo yesayensi ku-hibiscus iye yanda ngenxa yemiphumela yayo kumfutho wegazi kanye namazinga e-cholesterol. Ngokusho kocwaningo olwanyatheliswa ngoJulayi 2004, abahlanganyeli abathatha ukumnika amagremu angu-10 we-hibiscus omisiwe amasonto angu-4 bathola ukunciphisa umfutho wegazi. Imiphumela yalokhu kuhlolwa iqhathaniswa nemiphumela yabahlanganyeli abaphuza imithi efana ne-captopril. Iziguli ezinesifo sikashukela sohlobo 2 zaziphuza itiye le-hibiscus kabili ngosuku inyanga, ngenxa yalokho zaphawula ukwehla komfutho wegazi we-systolic, kodwa akukho shintsho ku-diastolic oluphawulwe. I-Hibiscus iqukethe ama-flavonoid nama-anthocyanins, anezakhiwo ze-antioxidant futhi asekela impilo yenhliziyo. Ngokujwayelekile isetshenziselwa ukwelapha ukukhwehlela nokwandisa isifiso sokudla, itiye le-hibiscus libuye libe nezindawo zokulwa ne-antifungal kanye ne-anti-inflammatory.
