The efficacy, effects and contraindications of saffron

1. Efficacy

1. Relaxing the meridians and activating the collaterals: It is known as "plant gold". The "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that it can "activate blood circulation, relieve heart depression, and treat palpitations". Modern medicine has confirmed that it has the effects of activating blood circulation and improving myocardial blood supply. It contains a variety of glycosides, which can significantly enhance the power of the large coronary arteries and increase blood flow, so it can enhance blood circulation, cool blood and detoxify, and resist fatigue.

2. Anti-cancer and cancer prevention: The substances it contains, such as crocetin and crocin, have strong anti-cancer activity and have a certain inhibitory effect on human papilloma, blood cancer, soft tissue sarcoma, etc. Its anti-cancer property is currently the focus of scientists' research. Drinking more of it is very helpful in preventing cancer.

3. Beauty and skin care: Its effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, detoxifying and beautifying are due to the fact that substances such as crocin can inhibit the activity of oxidative free radicals and xanthine oxidase, allowing cells and skin to slow down oxidation and prevent aging, thereby achieving the effect of beauty and skin care.

2. Taboo

1. Although saffron is good, it has certain side effects. Excessive consumption may cause blood rupture, i.e. skin bleeding.

2. Pregnant women are not suitable to drink or take it, because its blood-activating effect may increase the possibility of miscarriage.

3. Because it has a certain impact on the nervous system, it will cause excitement and easily cause allergic symptoms.
