The statement “three kinds of people can not drink saffron” is inappropriate. Saffron is a medicine for activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis (promoting blood circulation and eliminating blood stasis in the body), which is contraindicated for pregnant women and used with caution for people with excessive menstruation. Saffron is sweet in taste and flat in nature; it belongs to the heart and liver meridians and has the effects of activating blood circulation, removing blood stasis, cooling blood and removing toxins (referring to the treatment of blood-heat and toxins), and relieving depression and tranquilizing the mind. It can be used in treating menstrual obstruction, postpartum stasis, warm-heat poisonous spots (spots and plaques on the skin caused by warm-heat poisonous evils invading the human body), melancholy and congestion, and palpitations and frenzy. If treating abdominal masses in women, it is often used with rhubarb and gadfly; if treating post-partum stasis and abdominal pain in women, it can be used with peony dandanpi, angelica sinensis, and Pu huang; if treating menstrual occlusion of bruises and menstrual cramps, it can be used with peach kernel, rhizoma ligustici, angelica sinensis, and so on. The adverse effects of saffron are not clear, and it is contraindicated in pregnant women and used with caution in menorrhagia. If you need to use the medicine, you should consult your doctor first and use it under the doctor’s guidance, don’t blindly use the medicine by yourself.
