Tonics

Saffron has been heralded for centuries for its ability to treat a lengthy list of ailments and historically used for this purpose across multiple cultures and continents including Africa, India, Asia, and Northern Europe. Saffron blooms only once a year and must be harvested by hand, which is why it is worth its weight in gold. But don’t let its size and fragileness fool you — this tiny red plant packs a lot of power.

Its proliferation in and of itself speaks to its effectiveness — generally, practices that don’t provide results don’t travel across the globe or stand the test of time.

These tiny threads hold massive healing power when properly used for medicinal purposes.

Anxiety / Depression
Research has shown that saffron is just as effective as Prozac for treating moderate depression and anxiety. Just one pinch (15 threads) contains 30mg of the clinically studied dose of saffron that is an equally effective alternative to Prozac — without harmful side effects.

ADHD / ADD
New research is emerging that saffron may be an excellent treatment for those suffering from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). More than that, this natural support is proven to have no negative side effects, especially in comparison to potentially addictive synthetics such as Ritalin.

Cramps
Saffron may be helpful for period cramps due to their potential anti-inflammatory and mood-enhancing properties, which could help alleviate pain and promote relaxation during menstrual cycles.

Digestion
Saffron has been traditionally used to aid digestion due to its potential ability to stimulate appetite, promote healthy gut function, and alleviate digestive discomfort.

Fertility / Hormone Imbalance
Saffron can be helpful for fertility by potentially improving reproductive health, enhancing libido, and supporting hormonal balance.

Immunity
Saffron is naturally loaded with immune-supporting antioxidants and vitamins like riboflavin B1, B2, B6, and Vitamin C. In conjunction, saffron also is proven to support inflammation, which plays a key role in illness, disease, asthma, and allergies.

Pain Relief
Saffron may be helpful for pain relief due to its potential analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, which could help alleviate pain and discomfort associated with various conditions.

Postpartum
Saffron can potentially promote mood balance, reduce symptoms of postpartum depression, and provide antioxidant support for overall well-being during the postpartum period.

Skin Conditions
Saffron may be helpful for certain skin conditions due to their potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which could aid in reducing inflammation, improving skin tone, and promoting a healthy complexion.

Sleep
Saffron may be helpful for sleep due to its potential sedative and mood-enhancing properties, which could promote relaxation, improve sleep quality, and alleviate sleep-related disorders.

UTI’s
Saffron may be helpful for UTIs (urinary tract infections) due to its potential antimicrobial properties, which could inhibit the growth of bacteria in the urinary tract and potentially aid in relieving UTI symptoms.

Yeast Infection
Saffron may be helpful for yeast infections due to its potential antifungal properties, which could help inhibit the growth of yeast and provide relief from symptoms associated with yeast infections.

While saffron is generally considered safe for most individuals, saffron should be used with caution by pregnant women, as it may stimulate the uterus and potentially cause contractions.

As with any herbal supplement, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating saffron into your routine, especially if you have any underlying medical conditions or are taking medications.
