"There are few words as evocative as saffron. Over thousands of years it has perfumed the halls of Crete's palaces, made Cleopatra more alluring, and driven crusaders and German peasants to their deaths. While spices that drove adventurers to the ends of the earth, such as cinnamon, mace, and ginger, have become commonplace, saffron remains tantalizingly exotic. Nothing more than the dried stamens of the autumn-flowering purple crocus, it might as well be fairy dust."

From "Secrets of Saffron: The Vagabond Life of the World's Most Seductive Spice" By Pat Willard

Saffron is a powerful herb and spice. For millenia now it has been so popular among the 'truth-seekers' of India (those who chose their inner truth above the transient things of life) and so deep in the consciousness of so many that when the many different cultures and peoples of the Indian subcontinent had to choose a set of colors to represent them all as a country, Saffron or 'Kesar' was first choice. Saffron stands for Truth, the eternal kind that lies beneath all life.

In the field of energy medicine I am trained in, Saffron is called 'ANKH' where ANKH is the same as the Egyptian word and its symbol that means 'Life' or 'Immortality'. This is because that which is always regenerating itself - as the energy field of Saffron is - is immortal.





Saffron as a herb has been used in skin care as a deep healer and moisturizer. As a spice it has been used to revv up food. Just a little of it is so aromatic so potent. It is used as part of tea in the mountains because of its ability to balance the temperature of the body to resist the cold.



Its energy field effect however is the stuff of legends. Its energy field effect is two-fold or double.

Saffron's own energy field is a simple collection of rays constantly folding over each other. Its like a piece of paper folding exactly into half. It flattens, then that expands to the previous size and folds over again, its top half meeting its bottom half. Then again and again constantly.

The potency of this process is simple and amazing. It keeps merging both its polar sides together again and again. This means as a whole the energy field is with its top always exactly equal to its bottom, its right side always equal to its left side. It is always balanced because of this.

When we introduce this energy field into ours, our energy fields get influenced to do the same. Our energy fields start developing all polar opposites equally. The left side of our brain gets energized in tune with the right side of the brain. Our lower body's circulation begins to match circulation in the upper body.

The result of all this, is that our physical body and outward behavior becomes influenced to align with our inner self image and being. For this reason, Saffron represents the 'Truth' - or 'Outside as Inside' or 'As Below, so Above'.



It used to be a common experience for people to feel that the cares of life had gotten them believing in a false idea of themselves, that they had forgotten how to laugh, and trust life. For them Saffron - became the color of a reconnect with inner self, and eternal truth.

Kings, priests, students and business men alike took Saffron to help them find their inner selves, usually as part of therapy that meant a rest or break away from life as usual. Famous people who had gotten so intoxicated with their public image found themselves wanting to build themselves from within. Students and those who didn't have clear direction in life used Saffron to help them find their true leading. They would be in an environment like an ashram or a place of pilgrimage where their extreme feelings and experiences could be well grounded by seasoned people who could see them through the situation - rather than vulnerable family members who could get hurt or take things personally.



As part of therapeutic energy medicine I use Saffron only very very rarely. This is because in its Dot-In-Circle energy essence form, it is so strong it could amount to 'interfering' or 'imposing' or 'invading' a person's energy field. It can cause huge rushes of sexual energy or feelings of love - strong and overwhelming - so strong that some will people cry for days for the orphans in Rwanda and the dying penguin population of the Arctic (while spending all their savings on donating to the Care Foundation). It can make people suddenly wake up to some intention they have and go out without thinking twice to accomplish it - perhaps a little too impulsively for their own good. This can result in much pending work getting completed, but it could also result in actual aggression and foolhardiness.

This is why Saffron needs to be taken as it grows - just a little every day over an extended time - atleast a few months.

For a gentle energy field capture of Saffron,you need the fresh or dried stamens. You pour boiling water over about a teaspoonful of these and count to 10. Now have the steam rising up condense on a spoon of silver or hardened glass. See the picture to the right for a simple home method. Even just a few drops on the spoon (or in the bowl) will charge about 100 ml of pure water. This will keep for 3 days refridgerated and 7 days frozen. It has to be taken 2 drops under the tongue directly or in water at room temperature.

In this, its gentle Hydrosol or distillate form, it is the ultimate rescue from Identity Crisis situations and just about any crisis, because it brings the energy field back to balance without causing it to lose or forget the lessons learnt from the crisis or conflict. For this reason it is very comforting - for everyone from babies having their first fall while learning to walk, to adults breaking out of domestic or work drudgery or abuse. It helps us heal without pretending the crisis didn't happen.

It gives clarity, confidence (because of knowing who we are inside and what we intend) and strength to take on the Goliaths of our daily world.

I could talk endlessly about Saffron - I am in awe of it. I will end this article with one of my favorite uses of Saffron. There is a situation every winter when all the people with weak bones and joints start feeling the cold before everyone else. The cold seems to attack their bones and very rarely will warm clothes or sitting near the heater actually take away the inner 'bone cold'. For them, the energy field Saffron helps like nothing else.

This is because Saffron causes energy fields to have their polarities match (as I explained above). This means as soon as one part of a cell feels the cold, the other polarity of the same cell - which is still warm merges energetically with the cold side, lessening the overall cold significantly. The whole body's temperature stays at a regular level resisting the effect of the chill and all the associated discomfort.Besides this, the constant folding, expanding and refolding of Saffron's energy field keeps energy moving and a considerable amount of heat is released through this process.

Saffron's energy field mixed in with any cream or lotion helps keep chillblains away, prevents any temperature related skin problems, induces skin cell regeneration and improves resistance to the extremities.
