Most people know saffron as the spice that turns your risotto a dreamy shade of gold—and costs more per gram than silver. But here’s the twist: saffron isn’t just a fancy seasoning. It might be a little ray of sunshine for your mental health.

Used for centuries across the Middle East and Asia for everything from cooking to calming the nervous system, saffron is now popping off in wellness circles as a natural mood booster. There are even whispers of it being effective in treating mild cases of low mood (but again: always talk to a professional. We're enthusiasts, not therapists).

Modern research is starting to explore how saffron might support serotonin levels, reduce PMS symptoms, and even help with eye health. Bonus? It tastes nice too.

If you're curious, here are some saffron studies worth bookmarking for your next tea break.
