Patient's question:
I am currently 10 weeks pregnant. I want to ask what the effect of drinking saffron during the early stages of pregnancy is on miscarriage.Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, diet and oral medications must be handled with caution. During pregnancy, especially in the early stages, it is not advisable to consume saffron, as it may increase the risk of miscarriage. Saffron has the effects of invigorating blood circulation and promoting blood flow during menstruation. It has a strong blood-activating effect, which can easily lead to miscarriage. Therefore, it is not recommended to consume saffron during pregnancy. Additionally, during pregnancy, oral medications that invigorate blood circulation, soften hard masses, disperse stagnation, or are excessively pungent and warm should also be avoided.
