Copal Retreat May Newsletter
¡Feliz Cinco De Mayo!
This month, we honour the vibrant energy of Mexican culture with a focus on celebration, connection, and the healing beauty of nature. From festive traditions to refreshing seasonal sips, Copal Retreat is blooming just like the lush hibiscus flowers that surround our sacred space.
The Powerful Benefits of the Hibiscus Flower
The hibiscus flower, known locally as flor de Jamaica, is much more than a beautiful bloom, it’s a natural remedy that’s been cherished in traditional medicine for centuries. At Copal Retreat, hibiscus grows abundantly around the property, bringing bursts of red beauty and calm to every corner. Whether you admire it on your morning walk or enjoy it in a refreshing tea, this flower embodies the spirit of healing and renewal we live by.
Why We Love Hibiscus:
Antioxidant-Rich – Fights cellular stress and inflammation
Heart Support – May lower blood pressure and cholesterol
Immunity Booster – Packed with vitamin C
Gentle Detox – Supports liver and kidney health
Glow-Getter – Nourishes skin and supports hormonal balance
SIP & CELEBRATE!
