MALAYSIA, Feb 09 — Recent research shows saffron is able to reverse age related macular degeneration (AMD), the most common cause of blindness in old people. Saffron, known as the most expensive spice in the world and the best quality of saffron is even more costly than the gold. Saffron is produced from the fragile, crimson colored filaments and handpicked from a type of flower by the name of Crocus sativus.

ecent research shows Saffron is able to reverse age related macular degeneration (AMD), the most common cause of blindness in old people. Saffron, known as the most expensive spice in the world and the best quality of saffron is even more costly than the gold. Saffron is produced from the fragile, crimson colored filaments and handpicked from a type of flower by the name of Crocus sativus. This flower bloom for less than a month in a year. I kg of saffron is produced from 200,000 kg of this flowers. AMD affects currently about 25% of those over 60 years old in Britain and more than 50% of people over 70 years old. This number will be keep arise as the population ages.
A study carried out in Italy (where saffron is normal) where pensioners with AMD were given saffron pill daily for 3 months followed by a dummy pill for another 3 months. A second group also took the same supplement but in the reverse order. The result showed all patients experienced improvements in their vision while taking the saffron pill, but the effect disappeared once they stopped the taking. These patients were able to read newspapers and books again when they consumed the saffron pill. When they were tested with traditional eye charts, some of them managed to read one or two line smaller than before.
According to Professor Silvia Bisti from University of Sydney, this widely used spice in Indian and Spanish cooking , is able to affect the amount of fat stored in the eye, making vision cells ‘tougher and more resilient’. Saffron is an ancient spice used to treat cancerous tumors and depression. Saffron also has properties that encourage oxygen flow and prevents cell death. More studies should be conduct in near future to find out the behavior and chemical properties of this spice and also the ideal dosage for medicinal treatment.
