5 Incredible Benefits of Saffron

Improves Skin Quality

Rich in antioxidants, saffron is known to promote clear skin and bring a natural glow to it. It also has a soothing effect on the skin and is recommended for acne breakouts.

 Lifts the Mood

Saffron has phytochemicals and phenolic compounds that help regulate serotonin levels and improve your mood too. Saffron strands, as well as the petals of the saffron flower, work as effective natural antidepressants.

Improves Sexual Function

Saffron can help improve erectile function, libido and overall sexual satisfaction, especially in people who are on antidepressants. Saffron is one of the few natural aphrodisiacs backed by science.

May Keep Cancer Away

Saffron is packed with antioxidants and studies show that it works actively against free radical damage. High levels of free radicals in the body pose a risk factor for most cancers, so including saffron may help reduce this risk. 

May Aid Weight Loss

Some studies have shown that saffron plays a role in metabolism and may even curb your appetite. Curbing your appetite comes particularly handy when you’re on a weight loss diet plan.
