Saffron as good as Prozac?

A double-blind, randomized trial with 40 adult outpatients suffering from major depression was conducted at the University of Tehran. The study compared Saffron petals with fluoxetine (Prozac^®) for the treatment of depression. Patients were given 15 mg of Saffron petals in the morning and evening, or 10 mg fluoxetine morning and evening for 8 weeks. The study concluded that Saffron petals were as effective as fluoxetine in the treatment of mild to moderate depression.
