Safflower | Circulation, Skin & Heart Health Support
The Remedy:
Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius), also known as False Saffron, American Saffron, or Cártamo (in Spanish), is a bright, golden-red flower valued for its circulatory, skin, and heart-supporting properties. Traditionally used in both Eastern and Western herbal medicine, Safflower helps promote blood flow, reduce inflammation, and support radiant skin from within.
Rich in linoleic acid, antioxidants, and vitamin E, Safflower supports healthy cholesterol levels, hormone balance, and smooth, glowing skin. It’s also used to ease menstrual discomfort and muscle tension by encouraging natural circulation and relaxation.
Known for its uplifting color and gentle floral taste, Safflower is commonly brewed as a tea or infused into oils and skincare blends to promote warmth, vitality, and natural beauty.
