If you google ‘Health Benefits of Saffron’ – you will be amazed with what you find.

The beautiful Crocus Sativus flower produces stamens; which when picked and dried are known as Saffron (King of Spice); used to flavour many dishes such as bouillabaisse and paella.  
Saffron also has a long history of use in herbal medicine.
Saffron contains more than 150 volatile compounds.

• Picrocrocin, for instance, is the main substance responsible for the strong taste.
• Safranal, brings saffron its characteristic odour and fragrance.
• Crocin, which delivers the intense orange colour, is an indication of this spice's medicinal qualities, i.e. its powerful carotenoids and antioxidants that can protect your body from free radical damage.

**As with any alternative therapy, the recommendation is to check with your medical practitioner
