Patient's question:
Can drinking saffron-infused water directly regulate menstrual disorders? Can it be consumed every day? I had a thorough check-up at the hospital and everything was fine. I searched online and found that saffron can help regulate endocrine. Is that okay?Doctor's answer:
Hello! The main effects of saffron are to invigorate blood, resolve blood stasis, dredge meridians, and relieve liver qi stagnation, etc. It can treat issues related to qi stagnation and blood stasis. If your menstrual irregularities are primarily due to qi stagnation and blood stasis, or if they are caused by liver qi stagnation, you can appropriately take saffron to treat them. However, most women suffer from issues like cold dampness and insufficient qi and blood. Using saffron alone may worsen the condition, so it is essential to take it under the guidance of a doctor and not use it blindly.
