Abstract
Saffron (stigmas of Crocus sativus L.) has been used for medicinal purposes since decades. Modern pharmacological research confirms large parts of traditional knowledge regarding the medicinal effects of saffron. With the recent availability of aqueous extracts with reproducible composition and preparation according to pharmacopoeial standards, the foundations for a development of saffron extracts into rational phytomedicines have been laid.
Key words: Saffron, medicine, stigma, properties.
