Is the american spice Saffron and the chinese herb Hong Hua the same thing?
Woah, woah, woah. American Saffron and Hong Hua are the same thing-->Safflower seed aka 'Fake Saffron' Saffron as in from the crocus plant is totally different and like $20 for 2 grams. Hella expensive. And yes, Hong Hua helps with blood flow/menstruation. Some grocery stores sell American Saffron but mine does not, they only carry regular Saffron. My 'The Complete Illustrated Book of Herbs" says Peony helps nourish blood and repair of the lining of the female reproductive system. Yarrow helps treat menstrual cramps and heavy and painful vaginal bleeding.
