Improve mood and reduce stress
According to Dr. Madhu Juneja, Director, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Cloudnine Group of Hospitals, Pune, India, pregnancy can be a time of significant emotional swings and stress. Saffron contains compounds like crocin, safranal and picrocrocin, which are effective mood enhancers.
Antioxidant properties
Saffron is rich in antioxidants, which help protect cells from oxidative stress, supporting the overall health of the mother and the development of the baby, says Dr. Madhu.
Digestive support
Saffron pistils help support the body's metabolism, promote blood circulation to organs including the digestive system. In addition, saffron pistils also reduce the amount of acid in the stomach and protect the stomach lining, making the intestines healthier, thereby reducing bloating, indigestion, and constipation.
Blood pressure regulation
Saffron contains potassium and crocetin, which can help lower blood pressure by dilating blood vessels. High blood pressure during pregnancy can lead to complications such as preeclampsia, so maintaining healthy blood pressure levels is important.
Improve sleep
Sleep disturbances are common during pregnancy due to hormonal changes and physical discomfort. Saffron may promote better sleep by reducing anxiety and acting as a mild sedative.
