Stress is an increasing world health issue, which has negative physical and psychological impacts, leading to disorders like anxiety, depression and heart diseases. The recent years have seen the growing popularity of herbal remedies as safe and effective alternatives in the management of stress. The present review is devoted to herbal tea made of guava leaf (Psidium guajava) and hibiscus flower (Hibiscus sabdariffa / Hibiscus rosa-sinensis), using the effects in stress relief and the overall health promotion as the criteria. The research is founded on secondary data gathered through peer reviewed journals and scientific databases. Guava leaf and hibiscus are both abundant in bioactive phytochemicals, such as flavonoids, polyphenols, and anthocyanins, with high antioxidant, antiinflammatory and neuroprotective activities. These substances serve to reduce oxidative stress, control the activity of neurotransmitters, and alter the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which lowers the level of stress and enhances mental health. Comparative analysis reveals that hibiscus infusions have a greater antioxidant capacity whereas guava leaf infusions have greater pharmacological activity, anxiolytic and neuroprotective. Both infusions tend to be safe when taken in moderate doses, but little standardization of dosage has been made. In conclusion, the hibiscus and guava leaf herbal infusions show potential as effective natural methods of dealing with stress. Nevertheless, additional clinical studies need to substantiate their effectiveness, guarantee their safety, and standardized therapeutic guidelines to employ them in the contemporary healthcare systems.
