As a medicinal herb, the safflower flower has several benefits, namely for pain relief, a variety of gynecological disorders, reduction of small abdominal masses, dermatological problems, and heart disease Safflower is one of the most commonly used herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine obstetrics and gynecology. In combination with other herbs, it is used to break up blood stagnation in order to relieve menstrual pain and restore a regular menstrual cycle where the period is irregular or is absent for months at a time. Stagnation refers to a condition in which blood or the fluids of the body do not move freely and smoothly. It is additionally used to aid difficult labor. JOINT BENEFITS Safflower (Hong Hua) is also a popular herb in herbal formulas for conditions characterized by impaired movement of the limbs. It is used for joint pain which is accompanied by swelling or difficulty moving the limbs, as it invigorates the circulation of blood in the channels to relieve pain, improve mobility and reduce swelling. ABDOMINAL MASSES This warming herb may also be used to successfully shrink small abdominal masses, whether they are accompanied by pain or not. It does this by promoting the movement of stagnant qi in the abdomen. Abdominal masses occur when stagnation is significant enough to cause the formation of a nodule or mass, as circulation in the area is impaired.

Additionally, most patients in the study also reported a reduction in palpitations, dizziness and headaches. Germination 85% Purity of seed 99.67%Germination test 6/29/21 Safflower usually emerges 1–3 weeks after sowing and grows slower under low temperatures. Germination of safflower is epigeal. The first true leaves emerging form a rosette. This stage occurs in winter with short daylength and cold temperature, as the safflower can tolerate frosts up to -7C° during the rosette stage. When temperature and day length start to increase, the central stem begins to elongate and branch, growing more rapidly. Early sowing allows more time for developing a large rosette and more extensive branching, which results in a higher yield. Flowering is mainly influenced by daylength. The period from the end of flowering to maturity is usually 4 weeks. The total period from sowing to harvest maturity varies with variety, location, sowing time and growing conditions; for June or July sowings, it may be about 26–31 weeks.
