🀩 New medical research breakthrough!!!

🌺The results from our research are in. The hibiscus tea, grown from scratch by 9 Syrian refugees, helped to lower the blood pressure of all 20 refugees with hypertension participating in our research. Our previous research in Domiz 1 demonstrated this possibility using a daily dose of 10g, but we are thrilled to see that blood pressure can also be significantly lowered with a daily dose of 3g of this powerful plant (every day as a tea for six weeks).

πŸ«€ Hypertension is prolific in this region, with many refugees suffering heart health weaknesses that make everyday life, and recovering from the traumas of conflict, much harder. This is a very exciting discovery, as something natural that can be sustainably produced by refugees for refugees.

πŸ™Œ This would not have been possible without the @rotarysaughall, @commune_de_bernex, @mairiejussy, @Iraqi_IRADA and other generous donors. Thank you so much for joining us on this journey. As always, thanks to our implementing partner @mercy_hands πŸ’™
