Unbelievable benefits of saffron

I read this article that amazed me. I remember when I was a child my mother used to tell me not to eat too much saffron because I would laugh without any reason.

We also pour saffron in cold water with just a little sugar, it is very refreshing. Well depression is only one of its benefits.
