Saffron Side Effects

Causes bleeding

Saffron has a very good blood-activating effect. It can promote blood circulation and increase the amount of blood flowing through the capillaries. People with strong internal heat are very prone to getting internal heat even if they do not eat hot foods. These people will have worse symptoms of internal heat after taking excessive amounts of saffron. In severe cases, they may also experience symptoms such as bloody stools or vomiting blood. People who do not have symptoms of blood stasis should not consume saffron in excess, as it can easily cause ulcers and subsequent bleeding reactions.

Causes dizziness and insomnia

Saffron can speed up blood circulation in the body and put the brain in an excited state. If you take too much of this Chinese medicine, it will cause over-excitement of brain nerves and cause side effects such as dizziness or insomnia. Therefore, you must not drink water soaked with saffron before going to bed, so as not to affect the quality of sleep.
