Flor de Jamaica is the local name for the Sudanese hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa), which is used in Central and South America. It is a tropical plant with distinctive crimson calyxes that are known for their distinctly tart and refreshing taste. These calyxes are rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, organic acids, and polyphenols, which help naturally support vitality, hydration, and balance in the body.
The plant is native to Africa, India, and Central America, where it remains a common part of everyday life to this day. It is used primarily as a beverage, but also as a traditional remedy to support health and the body’s natural functions. In Mexico, it is known as “agua de Jamaica, ” a popular refreshing beverage that helps hydrate the body in hot climates, gently cools it, and supports its natural processes.
Munay Flor de Jamaica is a concentrated, broad-spectrum extract obtained through an innovative, low-temperature ultrasonic extraction process that preserves the maximum amount of bioactive compounds and delivers the full potency of this plant.
Flor de Jamaica Flower Essence
Flor de Jamaica is traditionally associated with a cooling and soothing effect on the body. It is associated with the elements of water and blood, as it supports the natural flow of fluids in the body, contributes to hydration, and helps restore balance, especially during periods of internal overheating or stress.
In traditional cultures, it was primarily used as a refreshing beverage to aid digestion and metabolism, to cool the body, and to support blood circulation and natural cleansing processes. In addition to its physical effects, it is also regarded as a plant that helps relieve tension and feelings of stagnation —both physical and emotional. It contributes to a sense of lightness, relaxation, and overall physical and mental vitality.
HEART AND VASCULAR HEALTH
It helps regulate blood pressure naturally and supports the elasticity of blood vessels. Thanks to its polyphenol and antioxidant content, it helps protect cells from oxidative stress. It is suitable for long-term support of cardiovascular health.
HYDRATION AND DETOXIFICATION
Thanks to its natural diuretic effect, it promotes the elimination of excess fluids and supports the body’s natural detoxification processes. At the same time, it hydrates and replenishes minerals, making it an ideal choice when you feel sluggish or overheated.
SUPPORT METABOLISM
The tart, tangy flavor of Flor de Jamaica naturally stimulates digestion and supports proper metabolic function. It helps relieve feelings of fullness, sluggishness, or stagnation in the digestive system. It is suitable as part of a daily routine for maintaining a healthy digestive system.
ANTIOXIDANT PROTECTION
Flor de Jamaica is rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, which support the immune system and protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. It contributes to skin health, the body’s vitality, and its natural defenses.
Origin and composition
The entire tincture production process - from the harvesting of the plants, to the extraction itself, to the final bottling - takes place in friendly communities in Ecuador, where Munay Botanicals ' headquarters is located - an extraction laboratory in the heart of the rainforest.
This liquid extract is made exclusively from hibiscus flowers grown in the Ecuadorian rainforest, carefully processed to ensure a high concentration of active ingredients in a convenient 50-milliliter bottle. You can read more about the processing method below.
The extract is produced by a method that preserves the natural plant compounds and the synergy of the active ingredients. Low temperatures below 38°C are used in the extraction process, minimizing the degradation of the bioactive components. Each litre of extract contains the essence of approximately 1 kg of dried Wayusa leaves, achieving a high concentration of active ingredients.
Ingredients: Sudanese hibiscus flower extract, purified water, alcohol (40%). We do not use any fillers or additives.
The pinnacle of extraction alchemy - dual extraction assisted by ultrasonic technology
The product is obtained from the original plant material by a double extraction method - water and alcohol. Warm water allows the extraction of water-soluble bioactive substances, while alcohol is more suitable for the extraction of other water-insoluble substances. By using both extraction reagents, an extract with a high concentration of bioactive substances is achieved.
To create an even more effective extract, we use the unique technology of ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE). This method effectively disrupts the normally not easily accessible cell walls of plants, allowing for a more efficient release of bioactive compounds from the original plant matter into the final extract.
Practicality and effectiveness of tincture
Thanks to its easy application, the use of the tincture is very practical. It can be dripped into water, on food or directly into the mouth. This makes it an ideal wellness supplement for traveling.
The tincture is better absorbed by the human body compared to powdered extracts, so the onset of effects is faster and more intense.
Compared to encapsulated extracts, we also see the advantages of the tincture in that we come into direct contact with the flavour - the essence of the plant- through our taste buds before consumption. In TCM and Ayurveda, taste is one of the therapeutic tools. The taste and other properties of the plant activate specific processes of our body already in contact with the taste buds and prepare the body for the therapeutic effect of the product consumed. The taste also activates our digestive system in advance, allowing the tincture to be better absorbed by the body.
EFFECTIVE
Higher and faster bioavailability of active ingredients thanks to the effective breakthrough technology of ultrasonic extraction, considered the pinnacle of extraction alchemy.
100% NATURAL
Our extracts are completely natural - they are organically grown and contain no additives. They are thus the rightful holders of the BIO certification.
AUTHENTIC
The extracts are the result of a careful process of finding the best of nature to support human health. Everything has been carefully verified and tested before being brought to market.
Methods of application and dosage
The tincture can be taken in various ways - sublingually (by placing it under the tongue and then swallowing it), it can be added to tea, coffee, smoothies and other foods.
To start, we recommend adding a few drops to your favorite morning drink, breakfast smoothie, or porridge; alternatively, you can take it directly by mouth. The concentrated formula delivers results even at this dosage. If necessary , you can increase the dose to 2 ml per day, which often provides optimal results.
The presence of ethanol and purified water ensures the tincture has a shelf life of up to 24 months, so you don't have to worry about early degradation. To preserve the maximum effectiveness of the tincture for as long as possible, we recommend storing it away from light, in a dry place, at room temperature or even lower.
Recommended combinations
Flor de Jamaica naturally pairs well with plants that promote circulation, vitality, and inner balance—their effects thus naturally complement and enhance one another:
- to support hydration and natural flow with guayusa (Ilex guayusa),
- for overall vitality, hormonal balance, and grounding with Maca (Lepidium meyenii),
- for deeper cleansing and mineralization of the body with stinging nettle (Urtica dioica),
- to soothe, relax, and cool the body with lemon balm (Melissa officinalis),
- to support the heart, emotions, and inner harmony with rose (Rosa spp.),
- For refreshment, digestion, and a feeling of lightness in the body, with mint (Mentha spp.).
Why does the tincture contain alcohol? Is it necessary?
Alcohol is essential for the efficient extraction of important bioactive compounds that cannot be extracted using hot water. This makes the tincture an even more effective means of supporting your health.
In addition, the alcohol serves as a preservative, keeping the carefully extracted substances stable and helping to ensure the quality and durability of the tincture for a longer period of time.
As a result, when applying the tincture itself, you consume only trace and therefore negligible amounts of alcohol, which can be found in ripe bananas and other fruits, even in bread.
