Abstract

Medicinal Plants were widely used in medicines since ancient times. In India, hibiscus, also known as Hibiscus rosa sinensis L (H rosa sinensis), is used as a herb in Ayurvedic or complementary medicine to treat colds, promote wound healing, soothe injured or irritated tissue, and revitalise the skin. The flowering plant is an upright annual with lobed leaves, vivid flowers, and woody branches. It contains crimson flowers that are followed by capsules and a fleshy, enlarged, and vividly red calyx. Herbal medicines use the fresh and dried epicalyces and calyces. Antioxidant, androgen-like anticonvulsant, and hypoglycemic H rosa sinensis properties have been noted. The leaves of this plant are used in traditional medicine to treat diarrhoea and dysentery.
