Tiny yet precious, saffron, also known as Zanghonghua, has long been treasured in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for helping the body relieve stagnation and regain its natural rhythm.
In TCM, saffron is traditionally used to activate blood circulation, dispel blood stasis and calm the mind. It is often chosen when discomfort is linked to "stagnation," whether that means lingering bruises, amenorrhea or emotional distress.
