HIBISCUS Paper Towel Holder / Stand *NEW*!

Take a look at this BRAND NEW hibiscus 3-Dimensional Paper Towel Holder. This beautiful piece has been designed in a 3-dimensional form and matches our hibiscus decor line. It really is a beautiful piece with plenty of detail, vibrant colors, and a gorgeous design! The holder (made of wood) stands approx. 15" tall with the base measuring approx. 7" in diameter. The top of the stand that secures a paper towel roll is made of a high quality hand painted ceramic with a very fine gloss finish coating it. On the base there is a matching poly resin piece to secure the paper towels in place and can also be used for tearing. This would make a wonderful addition to any collection, or this would make a great gift for any collector. Don't forget to take a look at our other hibiscus items of this same design set and other styles. Thanks for looking =)

The flowers only last for one day, but what a feast of beauty!

HIBISCUS HAS SUCH VARIED USES!
·Herbal tea and jams
·Food coloring
·Paper-making
·Philippines: A children’s bubble-blowing apparatus
·In India as an offering to goddess Kali and Lord Ganesha in Hindu worship.
·In Tahiti, the red hibiscus is traditionally worn by women – a single flower is tucked behind the ear to indicate the wearer’s available for marriage

MEDICINAL USES:
**Mexico - in medicines as a diuretic

**India - in traditional medicine (Ayurveda), hibiscus roots are used to cure coughs. The flowers are boiled in oil along with other spices to make a medicated hair oil to prevent greying and hair loss. The leaves and flowers are ground into a fine paste with a little water and the resulting lathery paste is used as a shampoo plus conditioner.

**A 2008 USDA study shows consuming hibiscus tea lowers blood pressure. 3 cups of tea daily resulted in an average drop of 8.1 point in their systolic blood pressure, compared to a 1.3 point drop in the volunteers who drank the placebo beverage. Study participants with higher blood pressure readings (129 or above) had a greater response to hibiscus tea: their systolic blood pressure went down by 13.2 points. These data support the idea that drinking hibiscus tea in an amount readily incorporated into the diet may play a role in controlling blood pressure, although more research is required
