Abstract
Crocus sativus L. (saffron), widely cultivated in Iran, India, and Greece, is a medicinal plant with over 150 bioactive compounds, including picrocrocin and safranal, responsible for its bitter taste and aroma. It exhibits diverse pharmacological activities such as antihypertensive, anticonvulsant, antioxidant, antidepressant, anti-nociceptive, and anti-inflammatory effects, along with memory-enhancing and circulatory benefits. In this study, 30 cases were assessed using random sampling and detailed case histories. Results showed marked improvement in 20 patients (67%), no significant improvement in 6 (20%), and no improvement in 4 (13%). Findings suggest Crocus sativus has a promising scope as a homeopathic therapeutic remedy.
