Hibiscus acetosella
Ornamental annual native to Africa widely used as a vegetable and medicinal herb for hypertension, antioxidant support, and kidney conditions.
Hibiscus acetosella is an annual ornamental plant native to Africa, traditionally used as a vegetable and medicinal herb for hypertension, antioxidant support, and kidney conditions. Its primary active compounds include anthocyanins, gossypetin, hibiscetin, ascorbic acid, and organic acids, which contribute to its antihypertensive, diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Evidence for its efficacy is limited (Level C), with most data derived from traditional use and preliminary studies.
The antihypertensive effect of Hibiscus acetosella is attributed to its diuretic action via organic acids (e.g., hibiscetic acid) and potential inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) by anthocyanins and flavonoids like gossypetin. Its antioxidant activity is mediated by anthocyanins and ascorbic acid, which scavenge free radicals and reduce oxidative stress. Anti-inflammatory effects may involve inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, while diuresis is facilitated by increased renal excretion of sodium and water through organic acid metabolites.
