I drank a lot of saffron when I was pregnant.

You cannot drink saffron when you are just pregnant. The main reason is that saffron has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Drinking it at this time may cause miscarriage. Therefore, if you drink a lot of saffron water when you are just pregnant, it is best to go to the hospital to check the condition of the fetus and take timely measures to protect the fetus. The stability of the fetus in early pregnancy is very poor, and many factors can cause miscarriage. Pregnant women need to understand various precautions during pregnancy.

1Will drinking saffron during pregnancy cause miscarriage?

It is possible.

Saffron has the effect of promoting blood circulation. If consumed by pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy, it may cause threatened abortion. In addition, saffron can stimulate the uterus and promote uterine contraction. If pregnant women consume it in large quantities, it may cause miscarriage. Therefore, saffron is often used as an abortion drug by the people, and pregnant women should not use it.

2 How much saffron will cause miscarriage?

It depends on the person. The miscarriage caused by saffron in pregnant women is related to the gestational age and dosage. In the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus is still unstable in the uterus, and pregnant women may suffer miscarriage if they drink strong saffron tea for several days in a row. For expectant mothers in the second and late stages of pregnancy, the effects of blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs are minimal. To induce miscarriage, the dosage must be much larger. Even if poisoning occurs, a successful abortion may not be achieved.

3 Contraindications of using saffron

1. Pregnant women are prohibited from using saffron as it has a strong blood-activating effect and may cause miscarriage if used by pregnant women.

2. Excessive intake can cause endocrine disorders. It is understood that excessive intake of saffron will affect women's endocrine conditions, cause endocrine disorders, and produce a series of side effects.

3. Stimulate nerves. Modern research has found that saffron contains some factors that have the effect of stimulating nerves. If taken for a long time, it will cause nerve excitement and disrupt sleep and other daily habits.

4. Causes menstrual disorders in women. Saffron contains a large amount of nutrients needed by the female body. Women with regular menstruation who often take saffron may cause menstrual disorders, such as increased or shortened cycles.

5. People who are not suitable for the disease should not take too much saffron. People who do not have symptoms of blood stasis should not take too much saffron soaked in water, otherwise it will cause skin ulcers and bleeding, which is not good for health.
