Saffron is the most expensive plant in the world valued for its aphrodisiac properties. It is used in traditional Eastern cuisine in minimal quantities due to its high cost. The plant is rich in many chemical compounds and antioxidants, of which crocin and safranal are considered the most important. 

It has been shown to have a strong mood-enhancing effect - including in people with depression. It also helps to maintain emotional balance in states of hormonal imbalance - e.g. it tones down mood swings associated with the menstrual cycle, menopause or PCOS. It helps with bloating, cramps or skin lesions and is also used to support fertility - the biologically active compounds contained in saffron can contribute to the alleviation of menstrual pain.  At the same time, it increases libido levels and sexual function (arousal, vaginal lubrication and pain during intercourse in women). In men - it supports erection, increases satisfaction from intercourse and increases semen volume.

Saffron also shows antidepressant effects and supports cognitive function. It has a tonic effect on serotonin (the happiness hormone) and dopamine in the central nervous system. It can be used either in the morning (for people who are stressed, living under high tension) or at night (for people who want to further support the quality and depth of sleep). Saffron acts as a serotonergic receptor antagonist, and Safranal stimulates GABA receptors - hence the basis for the antidepressant effect observed in numerous tests.

It may assist in the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease (crocin, which has a weakening effect on the formation of beta-amyloid fibres, one of the causes of the disease). 

In one study involving overweight women, saffron increased feelings of satiety and reduced snacking, resulting in weight loss.

Furthermore, saffron has a protective effect on the heart, not only by modulating oxidative stress, but also by regulating blood cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of coronary heart disease. It also supports the immune system by increasing levels of Immunoglobulin in the blood and reduces the risk of viral infections.
