Exploring the Medicinal Properties of Roselle (Hibiscus Sabdariffa) Plant

Abstract The Roselle plant (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.), a member of the Malvaceae family, is an important medicinal herb widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions. It has been traditionally utilized in various indsigenous systems of medicine for its therapeutic potential and nutritional value. The plant, particularly its calyces, is a
rich source of anthocyanins, flavonoids, phenolic acids, and organic acids, which contribute to its wide range of pharmacological properties. Numerous studies have demonstrated that extracts of H. sabdariffa exhibit strong antioxidant, antihypertensive, hypolipidemic, hepatoprotective, antidiabetic, antimicrobial, and anticancer activities. The potent antioxidant activity of Roselle is primarily attributed to its high anthocyanin and polyphenol content, which help in neutralizing reactive oxygen species and preventing oxidative stress–related
cellular damage. Its antihypertensive and lipid-lowering effects have been linked to improved cardiovascular health, while hepatoprotective and nephroprotective activities suggest its potential in managing metabolic disorders. Moreover, the plant shows promising antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, making it
beneficial for treating infections and inflammatory diseases. Recent pharmacological and toxicological studies support the safety and efficacy of Roselle extracts, encouraging their inclusion in functional foods, herbal
formulations, and nutraceuticals. However, variations in chemical composition due to geographic, climatic, and extraction factors underline the necessity for further standardization and clinical evaluation. This review explores the medicinal significance of H. sabdariffa, summarizing its phytochemical constituents,
pharmacological mechanisms, and therapeutic potential. Overall, Roselle stands as a promising natural resource with multifaceted health benefits and considerable potential for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.
Keywords Hibiscus sabdariffa, Roselle, phytoconstituents, antioxidant, antihypertensive, hepatoprotective, pharmacological potential.
