Saffron curbs PMS Symptoms

September 9, 2008



Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) refers to a collection of physical, psychological, and emotional symptoms that occur as a result of changes in a woman’s menstrual cycle. These symptoms will be of enough severity to meddle with certain aspects of her life. These signals occur before two weeks of menstruation and may fade away after its commencement. In certain cases, it continues even after the flow begins. In a wider sense, the term PMS is also related to all sorts of difficulties associated with menses. The usual PMS symptoms include cramps, fatigue, depression and irritability.

Consumption of saffron capsules are found to bring down the PMS symptoms in women. Statistical figures point out that seventy-five per cent of saffron-takers reported a drastic fifty per cent reduction in PMS symptoms. Saffron supplements are thus found to decrease the symptoms related to Premenstrual syndrome. Scientists were motivated to research in this regard because of saffron’s ability to change the brain chemical serotonin.

Saffron due to its expensive nature always remained distant from ordinary man’s diet. But due to its high medicinal properties, it seems saffron will have to be included in our daily menu. It provides relief from stomach pain caused by digestive irregularities. Mild depression can also be effectively cured with saffron. The spice also plays a positive role in bringing down the side effects of chemotherapy and reducing the tumour mass. Yet another favour done by saffron is that it helps in the regeneration of brain cells which get numb and decayed due to increased alcohol consumption. Above all, a pinch or two of saffron is sure to make your dishes more favourable and delicious. Its delicate, yet clearly distinctive taste is sure to tickle your taste buds. So, ladies, what are you waiting for? It is high time you start buying good quality saffron for ensuring the health of your entire family.
