[size=18pt]Hibiscus[/size]

Overview:
Hibiscus is a popular plant whose flowers are found in numerous herbal tea preparations. The flowers contribute color and a pleasant taste to beverages. In normal concentrations, the teas would not be expected to exert any pharmacologic action.  Hibiscus is native to tropical Africa but today grows throughout many tropical climates. This strong annual herb grows to 5 feet or more and produces elegant red flowers. The flowers (calyx and bract portions) are collected when slightly immature.

History:
The hibiscus has had a long history of use in Africa and neighboring tropical countries. Its fragrant flowers have been used in sachets and perfumes. Fiber from H. sabdariffa has been used to fashion rope as a jute substitute and the fleshy red calyx is used in the preparation of teas, drinks, jams and jellies, and the leaves have been used like spinach. The plant is used widely in Egypt for the treatment of cardiac and nerve diseases and has been described as a diuretic. It has been used in the treatment of cancers. The mucilagenous leaves are used as a topical emollient in Africa. In western countries, hibiscus flowers are often found as components of herbal tea mixtures. The leaves and calyxes have been used as food and the flowers steeped for tea. Hibiscus has been used in folk medicine as a diuretic, mild laxative and treatment for cardiac and nerve diseases and cancer.

Foreign AffairsBloomberg Favored To Win 3rd Term As Nyc Mayor by Epi(op): 3:08pm On Nov 03, 2009
Associated Press - November 3, 2009 12:15 AM ET

NEW YORK (AP) - New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is favored to win a third term, but the victory is predicted to be far smaller than the blowout he pulled off in 2005.

Public opinion surveys find Bloomberg with a much narrower lead over Democrat William Thompson Jr. this year than the lead he held over his Democratic opponent in his last re-election bid, when he steamrolled Fernando Ferrer by nearly 20 points.

This time around, the billionaire mayor has spent more money, but Tuesday's election is shaping up to be a closer race.

Analysts say that's partly due to resentment over the way the mayor changed term-limits law after saying he supported term limits for officeholders.

Thompson narrowed the gap between him and Bloomberg, but it was still a double-digit margin in the latest poll.

Did you know. . .

. . . that today is Japan Culture Day? Formerly celebrated as
the birthday of Emperor Meiji (1868-1912), this Japanese
national holiday celebrates Japanese culture, the arts, and
academic endeavour. Festivities typically include art
exhibitions, parades, and award ceremonies for distinguished
artists and scholars.

Today's Inspirational Quote:


"Strength is happiness. Strength is itself victory. In
weakness and cowardice there is no happiness. When you wage a
struggle, you might win or you might lose. But regardless of
the short-term outcome, the very fact of your continuing to
struggle is proof of your victory as a human being."
