Saffron Spice for Insomnia. Maybe RLS
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2023 12:25 pm
I kept pressing oncologist haematologist about IV iron when I've seen him over the last year. He tells me it is beyond his knowledge and to find a University, specialist, etc. But 3 weeks ago he told me he has insomnia and uses saffron tea with good results. My wife, who is a health food advocate, was off to Mrs Mango's to get some. We have been using it every day since with good results for both conditions.
I have to disclose I was on a cruise for two of those weeks so I probably had some Vacation Reprieve I've posted about before.It's not cheap and who knows what the correct dose is but I'll try anything for relief. I drink a large decaf tea with a pinch and consume the remnants with no apparent side effects. I start chemo and radiation this week and that will be the real test. Docs don't seem interested in adding any new RLS drugs to get me past the next 8 weeks so I'll use what I've got. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Rick
