Description :
Saffron is arguably the most expensive herb in the world, due to amount of time and energy it takes to
harvest. The term saffron actually refers to the dried stigmas and top of the saffron crocus, a type of flower
similar to safflower. In China, saffron grows predominantly in the Henan, Hebei, Zhejiang, Sichuan and
Yunnan provinces. The stigmas are picked by hand and dried. It takes approximately 75, 000 saffron flowers
to produce one pound of saffron stigma. In many cultures, saffron is used as a spice and for culinary
purposes; however, it has many medicinal uses as well. In traditional Chinese medicine, saffron has a
sweet taste and cold properties, and is associated with the Heart and Liver meridians. Its main functions
are to invigorate the blood, remove stagnation, clear the meridians and release toxins. It is typically used
to treat conditions such as high fevers and related conditions that may be caused by pathogenic heat,
and to help break up blood clots. There is also anecdotal evidence that saffron can inhibit the growth of
some types of cancer cells. Small amounts of saffron can increase the incidence of contractions in
pregnant women.
Function:

and colds,scarlet fever, smallpox, cancer, hypoxia, and asthma. Other targets were: blood disorders,
insomnia, paralysis, heart diseases, stomach upsets, gout, chronic uterine haemorrhage, dysmorrhea,
amenorrhea, infant colic, and eye disorders.For the ancient Persians and Egyptians saffron was an
aphrodisiac, a general-use antidote against poisoning, a digestive stimulant, and a tonic for dysentery and measles.
