Just a little bit of real organic saffron in a cup of warm water, leave it for 15 mins and drink the whole thing. It's amazing
I'll make a tea a few times a week to lift my spirits. When you have teenagers, Saffron will be a miracle worker 🌿🤷♀️
THATS WHAT I NEED!!😩
We used to mix it in red tea in middle east and you can feel your mood enhanced from the first sip yes small quantity of saffron threads with tea
Thank you for sharing this, I never thought about this particular herb, but I am starting to notice there are things that nature gives us that are way more beneficial than we thought at first, and have also found out I crave things that my body needs. We now make rosemary potato wedges, and once baked in the oven with a bit of orange juice and olive oil, they are almost addictive and definitely aromatic!
You’re a natural at broadcasting. Thank you for starting this channel, and for your reports on research on this topic👍🏻
You're welcome.
Saffron helped me get off of opioid pain medication I took for 15 years! It helped with pain and the depression I had. I pretty much had no symptoms of opioid withdrawal. It works for pain too! You have to dose yourself right because at first I just wasn’t taking enough and almost gave up on it.
how much dose is right?
What brand did you use?
Hmmm might be good one to stop taking Kratom?
Am I right in thinking that saffron should be heat-treated to make it a better antidepressant?
Great video Doug, a take turmeric daily, looks like I’ll have to check into saffron as well. Now I know why i feel good after we eat at our favorite Indian restaurant 😁.
Looking at all the natural 🌴 trees around the neighborhood can help heal from depression.
Saffron is a natural anti-inflammatory I believe. I’m going to try this! Mornings are hard for me too.
Saffron cured my vision after 2 weeks. I no longer need glasses and contacts.
@@ravanlp I don't believe it
Its so weird how different people are. Waking up in the morning is your most difficult part? For me thats the easiest, wake up enthusiastically to a fresh new day. Its the afternoons/evenings for me. Suddenly I crash after having been wired out, feel like Im suddenly in some kind of internal eternal hellfire, but realise through memory that that is just an illusion. Cause just like I said, I always wake up feeling blessed
Sound like you are going through some level of Adrenal Fatigue. I bet your Cortisol levels are high in the evening
Good for you not everybody does
Is there a lower rate of depression in Spain, since saffron is used in Spanish Yellow Rice which is eaten as a side dish as well as in Paella? Some of the Yellow Rice packages in the grocery store show that Yellow #5 and or Yellow #6 are used for the coloring, but they will not produce the authentic flavor that saffron does. Also, Yellow #5 and #6 are salicylates and should not be ingested by people with aspirin allergy or any salicylate allergy. A lot of Cuban food also includes yellow rice.
Hi Shirley. It’s good to hear from you. The person who fills my videos is married to a woman who is Persian, and she uses saffron and many of the dishes that she cooks. I’ll have to ask about their depression
Thanks 🙏🏾 for this video. I’ve never heard of Saffron for depression. We Indians use it in cooking. Will have to check this out.
Saffron is not new it has been used in the middle east for centuries and they know it makes them feel happy
Thanks for that information
Great Video! I never thought of Saffron. I will look into it. Thank you for all you do!
Thanks Edward. Thanks for your donation yesterday. When is the commentators said the Trader Joe's has affordable saffron
They call me Mellow Yellow - that's right. 😊 Love it Douglas! 💛
Hope to see you on live chat tomorrow
Saffron is so powerful it may cause mania in people with bipolar.
That's scary 😨
Probably what I’m going through right now lol
Hi Douglas,you looked Smart & Well. Saffron is expensive not palatable.
Hi Douglas, I love your videos. I’m wondering if you will ever do more videos on anxiety? No problem if not, I just thought I’d ask as I find myself rewatching your old videos and I think they are very helpful. If anyone else wants anxiety related videos please like this comment so that Doug can see how it can help others too.
Saffron is great for anxiety check www.healingsaffron.com
Here is a playlist of my anxiety videos. I hope you find some good stuff

@@DouglasBloch Thank you. I’ve binged watched your videos on anxiety but it’s good to have them in a place for me to easily access them. If any other videos on anxiety are ever uploaded I would be so grateful.
Also you can try Tulsa( indian basil) it so useful, for my depressions I used to so good.
Can depression make you feel disconnected from your family and feel emotionally flat?
Yes it does that a lot
@@DouglasBloch thank you for responding
saffron CAUSES a LOT of depression, if you look at the price per gram alone lol ;)
Supplements are reasonable on Amazon by Double Wood Supplements-$19.99 210 veg capsules.
@@s.k.richards3967 i was aware that a supplement form of saffron was meant and not the original spice form.
Maybe but saffron is way more useful than gold and cheaper per gram... Gold is used as s long term investment and to brag
@@s.k.richards3967 Saffron has to be fresh and high quality to be effective. All the supplements on Amazon have other fillers..only Divine Healing Saffron offers 100% pure fresh Saffron
I think you are mad
loved the joke today!!
I was wondering if we could talk on the phone? I’m struggling with depression and I’m so fascinated with your videos.
I don’t do consulting anymore, but if you email me we can set up a one time conversation douglasbloch@gmail.com
Great video, thanks!

For people with bpd, how soon can they feel the effects of saffron? How will saffron make them feel?
You're looking very well Douglas.

Hi! Would adding saffron to boiling milk release phytochemicals?
I don't know. You might wanna ask a chemist
Except safron whichc herb would you recommend for emotional numbness / anhedonia? Im already workjng in healing my ns dysregulation with body somatic etc therapies . Thanks
I'm not sure. Some people report successful St. John's wort, but that's taken internally
@@DouglasBloch yh that didnt help us unfortunately . But now that i think about it , theres dandelion root that can help apparently, and agrimony (or was it smth else? Dont know anymore) from bach flowrs but that didnt help.
Ashwagandha.. I have heard be very good for both anxiety and depression❤.
Can I take double dosage of 60 mg, as 28 mg for 2 weeks was not so effective. Tks
Thanks Doug
You are welcome Kevin
Cumin and turmeric are not the same doc
Thank you xx
You’re welcome
I am suffering from ocd. Can't get out of it. Can't even concentrate on my exams. Recurring thoughts, fear of religious places.. How to get out of it. ?
NAC is supposed to help with that...It's been a miracle supplement for me....it was used to treat mustard gas in Iran.
You might want to consult a counselor who treats OCD
Hi Douglas 💙
We should talk sometime
Trader Joe's has affordable saffron!
How long does it take to work or notice a difference?
It depends on the person.. Everyone has a unique reaction to an antidepressant or other substance
Does anyone knows if Saffron can treat pssd? I am to embarrassed to tell you what my symptoms are,. My pssd is killing me..Please, if someone knows, please share your thoughts with me if you know.
I have a haven't heard about that. You might want to try googling it
@@DouglasBloch Thank you for replying..Dr Bloch, Pssd stands for Post sexual serotonin dysfunction. It is basically the sexual side effects that occur after some of us take ssri's, and some antidepressants...The only difference is the sexual side effects are permanent in most cases..Dr Bloch, if you would be so kind, when you get some time, I send you a email..Please help Dr Bloch. Please help me if you can...There are more side effects from Pssd, Like painful genital anesthesia.. My husband has left me, i go days without sleeping. Please help if you can..
@@anitalaw3241 Try Maca, Zinc or Fenugreek for PSSD
@@jrman413 God bless you Josdlingen for replying...I tried Maca without any results..I have tried Fenugreek also..Do you have pssd? and did they work for you..Again thanks for replying, and sharing your thoughts with me...
@@anitalaw3241 Yes, I have it. I have been off SSRI for about 7 months soon, but still in withdrawal. Some people recover after about 2 years, how long have you been off?
♥️
Can you help me. About my depression
That's what these videos are for, to help give people coping tools and strategies to heal from depression. I don't do any one-on-one work. However there are many good counselors and therapist out there
My anxiety is shy bladder
Can I get the brand name of Saffron (website) that you sniff when you wake up?
It wasn’t a brand. Someone just gave me a bag of loose saffron
The Saffron needs to be fresh..check out Divine Healing Saffron they offer only fresh Saffron
@@marghana1 thx
