Who would have thought that you can ease menopause symptoms with what you eat! Normally, I tell my patients to avoid spicy or hot foods that an increase the incidence of menopause hot flashes. But there is one spice that can actually decrease symptoms: saffron. This bright yellow Indian spice has been used traditionally to reduce menopause symptoms, enhance calmness, and reduce irritability.
To preserve its medicinal properties, stir saffron into hot, cooked food. Use 1/10 of a teaspoon or less per day. (Higher amounts can be toxic, so be sure not to use more than this amount.)
