Saffron helps regain eye sight! According to a medical research, saffron, the yellow Indian spice that is traditionally used to flavor classy desserts and fine foods from the Indian cuisine, is now recognized not only for its distinctive flavor and color, but for its ability to restore vision in people suffering from AMD (Age-related Macular Degeneration) or sight loss due to aging.

This is what research head Professor Silvia Bisti had to say about it “When patients were tested with traditional eye charts, a number could read one or two lines smaller than before. Others said they could read newspapers and books again.”
