10. Saffron
Saffron is considered one of the most expensive spices in the world. This plant is used as flavoring and coloring for food, and its extracts are used to fragrance perfumes. Saffron is also used for its health benefits. It contains chemicals that can affect our mood, lessen swelling, attack cancer cells, and have an antioxidant effect. It is used to treat depression, Alzheimer’s disease, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and baldness.
Nicknamed the “sunshine spice”, saffron is not only sunny in color, but also helps brighten your mood. Studies have shown that it might be as effective in treating depression as taking a prescription antidepressant. It can also make antidepressants work better when you take them together.
