Can saffron tea be consumed every day?

Generally speaking, saffron is not recommended to be consumed daily by steeping in water. The detailed explanation is as follows:

Saffron has a sweet taste and is slightly cold in nature, entering the heart and liver meridians. It functions to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, cool the blood to detoxify, relieve depression, and calm the mind. However, as a traditional Chinese herb, saffron possesses medicinal properties and certain inherent characteristics. If consumed daily by steeping in water, it may cause some individuals to experience symptoms of "excessive internal heat," such as sore throat and irritability. Additionally, for individuals with sensitive constitutions or bleeding disorders, long-term consumption might increase the risk of bleeding, such as nosebleeds or gum bleeding.

When consuming saffron-infused water, moderation is important. Furthermore, pregnant women should avoid taking saffron to prevent potential adverse effects on the fetus. Women should also use caution during menstruation, as saffron may further increase menstrual flow or even prolong the duration of menstruation if the flow is already heavy.

If allergic reactions or other adverse effects occur during consumption, such as stomach discomfort, nausea, or dizziness, usage should be discontinued immediately and medical advice should be sought. In daily life, maintaining a balanced diet and engaging in moderate exercise can also help maintain overall health.
