Can men drink saffron?
Saffron can be eaten by men. Although saffron is mainly used as a "woman's medicine", patients who meet the blood stasis syndrome and need treatment of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, cooling blood and detoxifying can use saffron regardless of sex as long as there is no contraindication to use saffron.

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, there is blood stasis in typical male diseases such as prostatic hyperplasia and prostatitis. Promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis is an effective method to treat prostatic hyperplasia and other diseases, among which saffron is widely used.

Such as saffron, salvia miltiorrhiza, sparganium, chrysanthemum indicum, etc. The mixture is made into a "prostate health care bag" for chronic prostate diseases, and the effect is good; For elderly patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, Ginkgo biloba, Stigma Croci Sativi, Ginseng Radix, Panax quinquefolium and Radix Astragali can be added to the medicated diet as appropriate.

It should be reminded that the dosage of each drug in the above prescription should be adjusted according to the patient's personal situation, and the patient must take it under the guidance of Dr. Yamatonokusushi. ?

Extended data:

Never use it as a lipid-lowering drug. Although there is indeed an animal experiment report on the treatment of hyperlipidemia with saffron, the State Food and Drug Administration of the United States has also approved saffron-related health foods to regulate blood pressure, blood lipid and immune system, and crocin in saffron has also been used as a lipid-lowering drug, but there is still no evidence-based pharmaceutical evidence for its lipid-lowering effect.

Therefore, it is not recommended to use saffron alone to treat hyperlipidemia because the curative effect is not clear. In some cases, it is ok for patients with dyslipidemia to choose some health foods containing saffron, but it should be emphasized that health products cannot replace drugs and cannot be used to treat diseases. You must consult a doctor before taking it. ?

"More expensive than gold" is too exaggerated. In fact, in the process of clinical diagnosis and treatment, because safflower and saffron have basically the same effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, but saffron has a small output and a high price, clinicians are more accustomed to using cheap saffron. When choosing saffron, we should also be alert to the hype of individual businesses. There are a lot of saffron on the market, and there are also some fakes.

Generally speaking, take a few samples and put them in water. Authentic water is yellow, the water will not become turbid, and there is no grease on the water surface. If there is red mixed water and there is grease on the water surface, it is a fake. At the same time, after soaking in water, the genuine product is funnel-shaped, and the counterfeit product is not funnel-shaped. With a needle, the genuine product is not fragile, but the counterfeit product is easily broken. Fake means of Chinese herbal medicines emerge one after another. I suggest you go to a regular medical institution or a brand drugstore to buy it. ?
