Since I am struggling to find real treatment medication where I live, I looked up natural alternatives. Found some who speak good about saffron as having good effects. I just started taking it 2 days ago. Has anybody tried it for an extended period?

You can waste years trying bullshit remedies from the Internet.

I am already wasting years taking nothing at all.

Not bullshit remody from internet. It has at least one study on about 50 people. Not very confident about it. That is why I am asking.

Anyways, in absence of real medicine why not try something harmless, that I am already using for cooking anyways?

I read somewhere that even if you know a placebo is a placebo, it still has some effect. So it can't hurt. Saffron is one of the most expensive substances on the planet though so I feel like it might be good to try some other things.

There have been legitimate studies on this. There isn't strong evidence but it isn't dismissed as internet bs.
