saffron during pregnancy

Re: What is ur view on having milk with saffron for the complexion of the baby/??

Hi,

As others said i too taken it, nothing harm. I don't know if its true or not, but my kid is really fair than both of us. Might be she would have got that from her granny too who knows..

But one of my aunty said it helps to keep the body without getting cold during pregnancy, so i started taking in that sense rather than thinking about complexion...

Just to add up to all your info..

Proven results when consuming Safron
* It increases body temperature , be little casious when your body temperature is already high.
* It helps in blood circulation for the baby. The blood to-fro from the kid would increases resulting in good growth to the baby

I am not yet a mother. But as far as i know the baby's hair color,features,skin color depends on the genes.

Please let me know abt the original saffron and it would be gr8 if u could tell me where to get it :hide:

Hey eliz,
My mom has always forced to me to take saffron vn i was carrying...
Nt sure if it has helped as we are all fair in our family and my son too was very fair
But one thing is tat eating saffron actually help in improving blood circulation in uterus - i heard from a friend of mine, not sure how true it is...
But then it has been a time tested thing, so no harm in taking it anywayz...
Guess old ppl might have thought tat we wont take if they give the actual reason, so could have told tat the child would become fair
Enjoy the days and sleep enough - after delivery u'll have a hard time finding time to nap :thumbsup

 

Saffron is an antispasmodic, so when taken during pregnancy, it may help relieve renal colic and stomach ache. Also it is believed to improve digestion and increase the appetite of a pregnant woman. Saffron is also known to control blood pressure and mood swings during pregnancy. However, as saffron induces body heat, experts recommend that you add just 1-2 strands in a glass of milk during pregnancy
As far as any beneficial effect goes it depends on the type of saffron, the country of origin, the purity, the method of extraction and the amount in the purest form absorbable by the body.
Yes it is supposed to purify blood and hence improves the blood flow. More than color of the skin, a healthy skin is what is essential. So thats why all these home remedies were suggested by elders.

Pregnant lady should take it from the 5th month untill the 9th.One needs to take around 3 leaves of saffron and keep it soaked in warm water overnight and then have this mixed with milk before having anyother food the next day.

Docs say that this particularly should be taken on days wen the lady has head bath , to avoid her getting infected from cold.
Also its said that its good for digestion and heart.

But as saffron is the costliest spice available , getting pure saffron is indeed very difficult.

 

Hi,

Though i don't have much belief about complexion and saffron me too started having it . I am in first trimester.Just 2-3 is more than enough per day.

1/2 gram costs nearly 120 in Nuts-N-Spices(Chennai).Since they are well known for these kind of products i had no second thoughts to get from them.
