The proof is in the pudding! We work closely with multiple naturopathic doctors who prescribe our saffron products to their patients.
"For times when I want a warm beverage during my days consulting patients, I turn to the Warm Feelings saffron latte. Not only is the blend of soothing saffron, cardamom, and coconut delicious, these ingredients provide functional benefits (which I look for in all my beverages) to help support a balanced mood, inflammation levels, reduced cravings, and more."
“I had a patient who suffered from depression who had tried all the medication and treatments. Now he’s off all medication and on saffron. Saffron proved in a dramatic way that not only does it taste good, but it has the power to make us feel good, as well.”
“If more people knew about the power of saffron, we would have less emotional pain in the world. Most of my patients who I’ve recommended saffron to have reported benefits in their mood and emotional state, which ultimately helps the body heal. The mind and body are the same. When the mind experiences ease, the body eases. When the mind heals, the body heals. Saffron is a game-changer in my practice.”

While I am still fairly new to these products, I did try the latte and capsules as well, and find the strands of sunshine to be the gentlest form of Saffron that they offer. A great option if you are looking to avoid sugar (there's natural sugar in the latte mix from coconut water) or MCT oil (if you have any GI issues, MCT oil can be an issue). While I can't say that this has been particularly transformative yet, I do already feel that my baseline of wellbeing has improved. I feel a little less anxious, a little more calm, and I just like knowing that I'm putting something really good into my body. I also love the strands of sunshine because you can start with a lower dose and work your way up, if that's something that you need to do.
I used these strands to help with inflammation after a concussion, but only just began using them on my teen daughter who started having severe social anxiety a few years ago. Nothing we tried worked. I remembered I had these strands and started giving them to her daily in a tea. Within two weeks there was a HUGE turnaround. She stopped worrying about school presentations or group work (before she had huge meltdowns the night before and day of, to the point we had to ask for accommodations from the school), she stopped snapping at us for no reason, and she genuinely seems happier and is more pleasant to be around. Whether she was struggling from inflammation or depression, these worked. They brought our girl back after years of sadness, worry, and anxiety. I couldn't be happier with the result.
One of the most effective things in helping me naturally balance my emotions/hormones. Adding 15 strands a day to a cup and letting it infuse in water all day then drinking has been a game changer!
I started brewing tea every morning last week. I love the vibrant color and rich taste. The calming experience this tea brings starts my morning off right. I gently move into my day as opposed to my old habit of going from 0 to 60 with my coffee swigging. (I still enjoy my coffee, just much later in the day)
I am sold on this brand - it has a lot of heart!
This is a no brainer. These threads are high quality and have great flavor. Very reasonably priced.
