Cultural practices strongly influence saffron use, with women consuming it to improve fetal complexion, maternal strength, and labor readiness. Clinical evidence indicates low-dose saffron (approximately 250 milligrams daily) may facilitate cervical ripening, reduce labor pain and anxiety, and shorten labor duration in term pregnancies. These effects are dose-dependent, with higher doses or occupational exposure linked to uterine stimulation and increased miscarriage risk.ConclusionsLow-dose saffron shows promise for improving labor outcomes, though excessive consumption poses significant risks.
