Crocus sativus

Saffron

As a medicinal plant, saffron has a long tradition of being used to treat menstrual cramps and mood swings. It was used as a medicinal plant even in ancient times to relieve these conditions. Today, we know that crocins and the aromatic compound safranal are primarily responsible for its effects. Saffron not only has a mood-enhancing and calming effect, but also has antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, and organ-protective properties. It also improves brain performance and enhances concentration.
