Taboos of drinking saffron water

An old Chinese doctor told us that not everyone is suitable for taking saffron. If you have blood stasis or are pregnant, it is best not to take saffron, because it can easily cause heavy bleeding or miscarriage. In addition, women who are preparing to become pregnant should not take saffron. In addition, excessive use or use by inappropriate people can also be harmful to the body. Today, let’s talk about the taboos of drinking saffron water.

1. Women who are pregnant should not take it

We know from many palace fighting dramas that taking saffron during pregnancy can have an abortion effect. Therefore, women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should not take saffron. Saffron is mainly used as an abortion drug among the people in our country, and it has been used for a very long time. However, it is important to know that saffron only increases the probability of miscarriage, but has no contraceptive effect. Saffron must never be used as a contraceptive. In addition, saffron is very suitable for women who have just given birth, as it has the effect of replenishing blood after childbirth.

2. Pay attention to side effects

Taking saffron excessively or by inappropriate people can easily cause side effects. Experts suggest that people who do not have symptoms of blood stasis should not take saffron in water frequently, otherwise it will cause skin ulcers and bleeding, which is not good for their health.

3. Do not take too much saffron

Experts recommend that the amount of saffron taken each time should not exceed ten grams, otherwise it will have adverse effects on the body. This is because saffron has a strong effect on the nervous system after entering the body and has a certain excitatory effect. Therefore, if we take a large amount of saffron, it can easily lead to excessive nervous excitement, dizziness, insomnia and other symptoms. Some people with more sensitive bodies may also experience symptoms such as rashes and allergic urticaria.

4. Do not use fake saffron

There are many fake saffrons on the market now. They only look similar to saffron, but do not have these health-promoting effects. If you take these fake saffron, it will not only fail to maintain your health, but may also cause other serious diseases. Therefore, when buying saffron in daily life, you must be careful to select and distinguish it. Don't buy saffron without production marks just for the sake of cheapness.
