Safflower, also known as American saffron, dyer's saffron, and false
saffron, is an annual plant native to the Mediterranean countries and
cultivated in Europe and the U.S. Its glabrous, branching stem grows
from 1 to 3 feet high and bears alternate, sessile, oblong, or ovate-lanceolate
leaves armed with small, spiny teeth. The orange-yellow flowers grow in
flower heads about 1 to 10 inches across.
This herb is used traditionally in China to treat
coronary disease, thrombotic disorders, and menstrual problems.
Alcoholic extracts of the plant are used topically for direct
application to ulcers and wounds. Safflower has been used effectively as
a diaphoretic and a diuretic. Taken hot, safflower tea produces strong
perspiration and has thus been used for colds and related ailments. It
has also been used at times for its soothing effect in cases of
hysteria, such as that associated with chlorosis.
