Saffron has a certain therapeutic effect on gynecological diseases such as dysmenorrhea, menstrual closure, irregular menstruation and post-partum menstrual discharge, therefore, female patients with the above mentioned manifestations are allowed to drink saffron water in moderation under the guidance of the doctor, but it is not recommended to drink it every day for a long period of time.
Saffron, as a blood-activating traditional Chinese medicine, has the effect of activating blood circulation, dispersing blood stasis, dispersing depression and opening up knots, cooling blood and removing toxins (referring to the treatment of blood-heat and toxins), and it can play an effective role in the treatment of dysmenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, post-partum menstrual discharge, bruises and injuries, etc., which are caused by the stagnation of blood circulation.
However, as saffron is strong in activating blood circulation, prolonged overdose of saffron may lead to adverse reactions such as blood-heat paranoia (abnormal blood circulation caused by heat), metrorrhagia (excessive menstrual flow or dribbling), and menstrual flow, so it is important to take it in moderation as prescribed by the doctor.
In addition, due to the strong nature of saffron to promote blood circulation and menstruation, it is best for pregnant women to use it with caution, so as not to cause fetal restlessness, miscarriage and other serious adverse consequences.
The use of the drug should be under the guidance of a doctor.
