Crocus sativus L.

Saffron, Crocus sativus L., has been traditionally used for millennia by Persian medicine to treat pre-menstrual disorders. WHO official monograph recognizes saffron benefits on both emotional and physical symptoms.

Benefits

Symptoms of PMS have been suggested to be associated with disturbed serotonergic levels. SSRI have been shown to effectively treat physical symptoms and psychosocial functioning, work performance and quality of life for women with PMS. This is why the efficiency of saffron in relieving those symptoms should be attributed to safranal, the saffron metabolite acting on serotonin amplification.

Clinical evidences

In two randomized placebo-controlled clinical studies, saffron confirmed its effectiveness by cutting the severity of PMS by half.
