English Name: Safflower Botanical name: Carthamus tinctorius L Arabic Name: عصفر Farsi Name: گل رنگ Urdu Name: کسنب, زعفران کاذب Uses: Safflower has been used as a dietary supplement to modify lipid profiles, to treat fevers, and as a laxative. Clinical information is very limited. Safflower had been widely recognized as a source of dye. However, more recently, the beneficial properties of the high unsaturated fat content of its oil has resulted in the worldwide consumption of the oil in place of saturated fats. Although the results of clinical studies generally indicate that dietary supplementation with this oil can reduce serum cholesterol levels, the changes in lipid profiles may not be as important as previously suggested in terms of reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. |
