OCTOBER 18, 2022 SAFFRON

Saffron (Crocus sativus) is a plant that produces the most expensive gourmet spice known to man. Owe it to its many uses, health benefits, and mostly for its labor-intensive production. The plant was used as a dye since the prehistoric era and later used as a herbal remedy and in making magical potions. The saffron spice comes from the crimson stigma of the flower, sparsely harvested for its culinary value It was used a pigment dye. The Romans, Persians, Greeks ,and Egyptian used this spice

Saffron is often sold as a spice. Have you ever used it in cooking ? I know I haven’t but have tasted food plates with saffron It does add flavor and color to the food

In addition to its culinary benefits, it has many health benefits

Saffron can also treat respiratory and digestive problems and has a host of benefits such as:


• Supporting proper eyesight

• Supporting patients with cancer
• Menstrual relief

It is used to treat sleep disorders. I have used it in patients with heart disease especially high blood pressure. I find its use in digestive and respiratory ailments to be the most beneficial. I have seen it improve libido in both men and women.

Until tomorrow…
