Avicenna’s Forgotten Treasure

Inside Saffron: Nature’s Precision Medicine
🧪 The magic’s in the molecules:Saffron comes from the Crocus sativus flower's stigmas, each one hand-harvested (hence the price). Used in Afghan, Persian, Indian, and Mediterranean medicine for centuries. It's nature's SSRI most people don’t know about. What makes saffron special are three compounds:
• Crocin (the golden pigment)
• Safranal (the aroma)
• Picrocrocin (the bitter taste)
+ Crocetin
These are potent neuroactive substances that cross the blood-brain barrier.
● Crocin:
→ 10x stronger antioxidant than Vitamin E
→ Crosses the blood-brain barrier to protect neurons
● Safranal:
→ Slashes cortisol (stress hormone) by 25%
● Picrocrocin:
→ Reduces brain inflammation
● Crocetin:
→ Boosts brain blood flow by 20% (J. Ethnopharmacology, 2023)
