Tribulus Terrestris Improves Libido In Women:
. Tribulus is known to enhance T in males;
and Tribulus in females is known to promote libido;
therefore, Tribulus may promote T in females ?
. testosterone is currently the only treatment approved
for low libido in menopausal women.
Curr Opin Urol 1999:

In women with SSRI-induced low sexual desire,
saffron was shown to improve desire.

Daru. 2014:

. in women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder
during their fertile years,
Tribulus terrestris extract (7.5 mg/day)
may safely and effectively improve desire
in women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder. 

Fukui et al Phytomedicine. 2011:
(abstract by holisticprimarycare)

. females inhaling the saffron extract showed
statistically significant reductions in cortisol
and increases in estradiol .
. the menstrual cycle has 2 phases:
follicular and luteal .
. saffron exposure during the follicular phase
might have reduced testosterone slightly
and raised it during the luteal phase
(differences were not statistically significant).

depression (high cortisol) lowers T .
(relate to saffron's anti-cortisol effect).

naturalmedicinejournal`safron:

The component likely responsible for the
cortisol-lowering effect reported by Fukui et al
is in likelihood a volatile agent,
such as safranal.
. a saffron extract called crocetin (a dye)
may affect certain cancers' growths by
inhibiting nucleic acid synthesis,
enhancing antioxidative system, inducing apoptosis
and hindering growth factor signaling pathways.
. a liposomal saffron may increase cytoxic action
[the effectiveness of chemotherapy]
. saffron may reduce growth rate of liver cancer
through inhibition of cell proliferation
and induction of apoptosis.
Crocetin may inhibit invasiveness of certain cancer cells
through downregulation of matrix metalloproteinases.
. we can certainly justify volatile saffron use for
relief of anxiety but not cancer growth .
