Health – Treatment of liver cancer by consuming saffron

Health is a blessing that we may not appreciate many times. One of the organs of the body that guarantees our health is the liver. The liver, in simple terms, has essential and important functions. The liver is the largest internal organ in the body that performs many important functions in the body. There are more than 100 different models of liver disease such as fatty liver, hepatitis, liver cancer and other diseases that endanger liver health. Research results in 2011 showed that saffron for liver cancer can play a role like chemotherapy! This is just one of the benefits of saffron for the liver.

How the liver works
The liver is located on the right side of the abdomen and its most important function is to filter the blood that wants to enter the bloodstream from the gastrointestinal tract. This blood first enters the liver, the liver removes the toxic and harmful substances in this blood and allows it to enter the body. In addition, the liver has other functions. For example, converting dietary fat into energy is another important function of the liver

Drinking alcohol is bad for the liver. Why?! Because the liver has to stop all its activities to separate the alcohol that has entered the bloodstream. And if this process continues, it will be very difficult for the liver to separate alcohol from the blood. There are several things to do for liver health, such as not eating alcoholic beverages, eating fruits and vegetables, exercising, caring for infected needles, and hepatitis vaccines.

liver cancer
Cancer is definitely one of the worst diseases and diseases in the world. Like any other disease that did not have a cure in the past but is now being treated, cancer treatment will be discovered soon and we hope that no more family will experience cancer.
Liver cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the world, the root cause of which is unknown. But by not following some cases, the risk of liver cancer increases. Such as: type 2 diabetes, high alcohol, family history, weak immune system and other cases.

And what is the effect of saffron on the liver?
A professor has researched the effects of herbal medicines on liver cancer and concludes that the best strategy for liver cancer is ‘prevention’. but how.
Saffron is one of the only natural ingredients that has anti-cancer compounds and antioxidants. We have fully explained the antioxidants of saffron in the properties section of saffron. Quite simply, if we want to define an antioxidant, an antioxidant is a compound that protects cells. Saffron has antioxidants that prevent cells from becoming cancerous.

Mice, a tool to study the effect of saffron on the liver
To test the effect of saffron on the liver, an experiment was performed on mice. In this experiment, mice were given different doses of saffron. All mice were divided into 3 groups. The first group was given 75 mg of saffron per kilogram of body weight. The other group of mice were given 150 mg of saffron per kilogram of body weight, and the last group was given 1,300 mg of saffron per kilogram of body weight. The diet lasted 22 weeks, and 2 weeks after the end of the diet, the mice were injected with cancer cells to see if saffron could prevent cancer.
Saffron was able to completely control cancer for those who used high doses of saffron. And those mice that used lower doses of saffron had much milder cancers than were injected.

The effect of saffron on human liver and cancer cells
Another test was performed in Iran (Imam Reza Hospital in Mashhad). In this test, 13 patients with liver cancer were divided into two groups. Both groups underwent chemotherapy, but one group had to consume 50 mg of saffron each day during its chemotherapy period. And that one group used painkillers during chemotherapy. Finally, it was found that the group that used saffron was able to control their disease to a high degree (even 50%!). While the cancer of the group that did not use saffron was still going on with its previous power.

The effect of saffron on fatty liver
Do not underestimate the effect of saffron on the liver. Saffron can protect the liver like a soldier. Experiments on other mice showed that saffron could lower liver enzymes and protect the liver. But if alcohol consumption is high, then saffron is not made. Because, as we have said, high and continuous consumption of alcohol causes the liver to stop all its activities in order to separate the alcohol in the blood from the blood.

How to use saffron for the liver
In order for saffron to protect your liver against cancer, you need to use it daily. You can use saffron in your food, or make saffron tea with it (we have fully explained how to make saffron tea in the section). You do not need to use a lot of saffron a day, as long as the smell and taste of saffron reaches your nose, it is enough.
