Doctor: Drink This Tea 90 Minutes Before Bed to Fall Asleep Faster (Hibiscus)

Описание: A 2023 clinical study tracked 127 people over 50 who drank hibiscus tea before bed. After just 2 weeks, 73% reported falling asleep faster. Here's exactly what happens in your body when you drink this tea at night — and why the 90-minute timing matters more than you think.
Body: In this video, I'm breaking down the science behind hibiscus tea and sleep. You'll learn about three specific physiological effects this simple drink has on your body:
Effect #1: How anthocyanins naturally lower cortisol (your stress hormone) without forcing your body — supporting what it's already trying to do.
Effect #2: The gentle vasodilation effect that relaxes your blood vessels and helps your nervous system shift into "rest and digest" mode.
Effect #3: The mild cooling effect on your core body temperature — one of the most important signals your brain needs to fall asleep.
I'll also share the exact protocol I recommend to my patients: how much to use, water temperature, steep time, and why drinking it exactly 90 minutes before bed (not earlier, not later) makes all the difference.
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: ⚠️ This information is for educational purposes and does NOT replace medical advice. If you're taking blood pressure medication, pregnant, or have severe sleep issues, please consult your healthcare provider before trying hibiscus tea. Everyone's body is different — give it at least 2 weeks to see results.
