User Reviews for saffron

I took a capsule for appetite control, and incidentally found it helped my somewhat severe symptoms of restless leg syndrome. Have repeated the effect (intentionally this time) around a dozen times--only as a rescue med, not daily as a preventative.

Saffron has worked wonders for my husband's severe depression! I use "The Gathering of Saffron" from Spain - Select Grade. I steep about 150 mg overnight in hot water. My husband drinks it every morning. He has been using it everyday for about 8 years. He has suffered from depression for over 50 years. During that time psychiatrist have prescribed many pills. None worked very well and the side effect were often worse than the depression. He still suffers occasionally from mild depression. But it is not debilitating and only last for a day or so. Over the 8 years there have been no side effects.Read More Read Less

I started with Saffron about a week ago. Feeling quite normal except I started menstrating the day after I started taking it. No it is not my normal cycle. My normal cycle was last week. Very interesting. I am going to go off of it and see if I stop menstrating to see if the saffron was the cause.

I had a horrible migraine-like headache and dizziness after about 4 weeks of use. I was nauseous and overall malice feeling.
