My mom got me proper kesar and keeps telling me to have it in milk daily, says it makes the baby fair and healthy. i love the taste honestly but i dont really know what it actually does. anyone know the real benefits?
Beta in our families a few strands of kesar in warm milk is a traditional thing, said to be calming. A tiny pinch is fine, but please dont take large amounts thinking it does more. And honestly it doesnt change the baby, that is just old talk.
Mostly it is a cultural and comforting thing, a tiny pinch in milk. There is no proof it affects the baby's looks, that is a myth. In small amounts it is fine, but check with your gynac if you plan to take it regularly.
We add a little saffron to milk more for comfort and tradition than anything else. A small amount is harmless and feels soothing. Just keep it minimal, and if you ever wonder, a quick word with your doc settles it.
