Patient's question:
I am two months pregnant and have a slight sore throat, so I drink saffron. Some people say that pregnancy cannot consume saffron, will drinking saffron cause miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
It is not advisable to consume saffron during pregnancy because it has the effect of invigorating blood and promoting blood circulation. Since you are in the early stages of pregnancy, two months in, consuming saffron increases the likelihood of a potential miscarriage. If you have already consumed saffron, I recommend that you closely monitor for symptoms such as bleeding or abdominal pain. If these symptoms occur, it may indicate a recurrence of miscarriage, and you should seek medical attention immediately to assess whether the pregnancy can be saved.
