<\/p>\nA HERBALIST has shared her secret to staying forever young.<\/p>\n
She described it as nature's Botox and could reverse the aging process.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
But there was no skincare or invasive practices in her beauty tip.<\/p>\n
Her wrinkle-free approach came in the humble form of a cup of tea.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis tea is basically nature\u2019s Botox," said Anya Levi Wellness (@anyaleviwellness).<\/p>\n
She has 197,000 followers on her TikTok, where she shares her knowledge on the healthy benefits of herbs and plants.<\/p>\n
In this post, Anya laid out the benefits of this drink from the hibiscus tree.<\/p>\n
The plant originates in North Africa and South East Asia, where it is used as food and medicine.<\/p>\n
Anya made a bold assertion in her video: \u201cWant to slow down aging? Drink this tea."<\/p>\n
She reasoned why hibiscus tea could help: \u201cIt\u2019s packed with antioxidants which help our bodies fight free radicals.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "[These] cause cell damage, which then causes aging."<\/p>\n But that wasn't all this tea could offer, according to Anya. There were other health benefits.<\/p>\n \u201cIt may help lower blood pressure, lower blood fat levels, boost liver health, and promote weight loss."<\/p>\n And there was even more: \u201c[It] improves brain function and boosts energy levels."<\/p>\n There was some confirmation of her assertions from Medical News Today, that quoted research from other studies: <\/p>\n They said: "Historically, hibiscus tea has been used in African countries to decrease body temperature and treat heart disease.<\/p>\n "Recent studies have looked at the possible role of hibiscus in the treatment of high blood pressure and high cholesterol."<\/p>\n They continued: "Some studies have demonstrated positive effects when examining the effects of concentrated hibiscus on managing body weight."<\/p>\n There was no mention from this source of the age-defiant properties of hibiscus tea.<\/p>\n But they did advise caution when consuming it: Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not drink hibiscus tea."<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/GettyImages-156208173jpg-JS325118139-1.jpg\")
