As for the dosage of safflower, there are some previous theories that "more use will break blood, less use will nourish blood" and "blood nourishing water decoction, blood breaking wine boiling", which are not appropriate.

The so-called "saffron" is named because it was introduced into Tibet from the Mediterranean coast through India in the early days, and then into the mainland from Tibet.
