Studies reveal that saffron decreased the severity of mild-to-moderate postpartum depression in breastfeeding mothers.
Due to the adverse effects of antidepressants, this is exciting news for breastfeeding mothers who prefer herbal remedies over pharmaceuticals.
This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial involved 60 new mothers with postpartum depression who were randomly assigned to receive either a placebo or 30mg of saffron per day.
Results showed that saffron reduced the severity of mild-to-moderate depression with no significant adverse effects on breastfeeding mothers. Moreover, saffron demonstrated higher response and remission rates compared to the placebo, suggesting saffron is a safe alternative treatment that effectively alleviates postpartum depression symptoms.
Another clinical trial examined mothers with PPD who were randomized to receive either saffron capsules (30mg/day) or fluoxetine (40mg/day) over six weeks. The findings supported saffron as a safe and effective alternative for improving depressive symptoms in postpartum depression.

Disclaimer: If you are currently taking SSRIs, do not abruptly quit the medication. Quitting SSRIs, even at small doses, all at once can result in drastic withdrawal effects. Talk to your doctor about tapering off the medication until you’re free of it. During the process, it’s crucial to keep loved ones informed of how you’re feeling on a daily basis. Share with your doctor information about integrative therapies for depression such as restoring gut health, hormone balancing, dietary changes, meditation, and others.
