Background:If you've ever enjoyed Indian cuisine, you've probably eaten saffron. It's a very popular culinary herb in Indian cooking. In addition, it is used in Greek and Italain food. Medicinally, saffron was once thought to lift the spirits. It was also used as a dye for beauty products.

Now saffron is scarecely used in herbal medicine, but its effects are still known. It can be used to help induce menses as well as relieve painful menstruation. It also helps to improve indigestion.

Applications:Women's Health/Digestive

Saffron is primarily used for women's health.

Menstruation: Saffron helps to induce menses and can help to relieve pain associated with monthly periods. It also helps to reduce chrnoic problems with bleeding of the uterus.

Digestive:Saffron is a remedy for indigestion as well as colic.

Description:

Saffron is a perennial herb. It is native to India and the Mediterranean region. It is also cultivated in other parts of Europe and the Middle East. It has purple flowers and red stigmas. The stigmas and styles are harvested in the fall.

Dosage:

As an infusion, add 6-10 stigmas to 1/2 cup hot water. Steep until desired concentration. Drink 1/2 - 1 cup daily..

As a tincture, take 5-20 minums.

Safety:
Do not take large doses of saffron if you are pregnant as it may induce miscarriage. Consult your health care provider before beginning use of any herb.
CAUTION: Saffron contains a poison that acts on the central nervous system and damages the kidneys. Large doses can have severe effects; 10 to 12 grams is a fatal dose for human beings. The high cost of saffron and the availability of synthetic substitutes make its use as medicine rare.
