    Hi Cindhu,please dnt take saffron in first trimester. Not suppose to take heat products in I trimester. If you take from seventh months its enough. or end of second trimester.

    Hi Cindhuja,
    When i asked my doc she asked me to take saffron from 7 th month.

    One day i had put 5-6 safron in milk and had it.. The next day i had diarrhoea.. :hide:.. So take maximum 2 or 3 saffron flowers a day and do not take it daily.. you can take twice a week. that is enough...

    Hi everyone!!

    "m 15 weeks peggers. Even i am told saffron helps in giving good skin texture n color to the baby. Not sure how true though. Its an age old tradition comin in the family, so i don mind giving it a try. No harm. But 'm not sure of the rite time of consuming it. Should it be taken soaked in milk in the morning times or at night before bedtime ?? Can anyone please suggest.

    Thank U :)

    Hi Rans,

    Congrats!

    Even I dont know now what will be the exact benefit of taking saffron.
    But I m told to take it by my Mom and MIL.So taking it for good:)
    It should be taken in the empty stomach in morning twice a week. Soak it in water before sleeping in the night and have in the morning with milk.
    If u like it u can have in the middle occassionally with sweets,etc

    Thanks,
    Mallige

    Saffron is good for skin

    according to embryo development the skin will form during 5th month, we should take saffron during 5th month to 9th month along with milk, just 2 strips along with milk during night.

    it is heat so it should be consumed along with milk

    the disadvantage is it will be cause of Jaundice if you consume more.
