What are the effects and contraindications of saffron

Saffron is a well-known Chinese medicinal material in our daily life. I believe that many female friends usually drink saffron tea, and various foot bath places basically have saffron foot bathing. It can be seen that saffron can play a very important role in our health. What I want to introduce to you today is the effects and contraindications of saffron. Let’s take a look.

Benefits of Saffron:

Traditional Chinese medicine says: nourishing blood, activating blood circulation, replenishing blood, promoting blood circulation, regulating blood, etc.

Popular saying: Strengthen physical fitness, beautify the skin, relieve depression and calm the mind, regulate the spirit and spirit, regulate endocrine system, and nourish the blood.

For women: It can improve symptoms such as blood deficiency, physical weakness, irregular menstruation, postpartum blood stasis, amenorrhea, facial spots, body pain, depression, etc.

Saffron has the function of promoting blood circulation and nourishing blood, which is unmatched by any other medicinal material in traditional Chinese medicine. Saffron has a significant effect on improving symptoms such as blood deficiency, physical weakness, irregular menstruation, postpartum blood stasis, amenorrhea, facial spots, body pain, depression, etc. It makes people's qi and blood active, their blood is vigorous, their spirits are full and their complexion is rosy.

Taboos on eating saffron:

1. Although saffron is a good medicine, its side effects should not be underestimated. If a person without blood stasis takes this medicine all day long, it may cause blood rupture (i.e. the skin may break and bleed easily).

2. Saffron also has another effect, which is to promote miscarriage, so pregnant women and women who want to have a baby should not take saffron. Saffron has long been used as a folk abortion drug with a long history. (It is ineffective for contraception and increases the chance of miscarriage) However, it can be used to replenish blood after childbirth.

3. In addition, it is best to take less than 10 grams of saffron each time, because there are recorded cases that saffron has a strong excitatory effect on the nervous system, so some people take a large amount of saffron and experience dizziness due to excessive excitement. People with sensitive constitutions even develop allergic urticaria and rashes.

The above content introduces the effects and contraindications of saffron in great detail. I hope it can serve as a reference for more friends. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, saffron has the effects of nourishing blood, beautifying the skin, and calming the mind. It is very suitable for female friends to take, but at the same time, you should also pay attention to the dosage to avoid causing bad effects.
