Safflower, also known as American safflower and poor man's saffron is an excellent substitute for saffron in cooking. Safflower has been used in preventing heart disease as the linolenic acids in safflower seed oil helps with the “hardening of the arteries” (atherosclerosis) and stroke. Because of these acids it also makes it a natural emollient leaving the skin feeling soft and nourished.
It is also used to treat fever, tumors, coughs, breathing problems, clotting conditions, pain, heart disease, chest pain, and traumatic injuries. Some people use it for inducing sweating; and as a laxative, stimulant, antiperspirant, and expectorant to help loosen phlegm.
Women sometimes use safflower oil for absent or painful menstrual periods.
* In magic safflower can be used by gay men to attract partners; either burn on charcoal and smoke yourself with the fumes, or steep American Saffron and Sampson Snake Root in safflower oil and rub the oil on the backs of the knees, thighs and buttocks ;)
