About Qurtum (Safflower Seeds)

Safflower is a thistle-like flowering plant, long cultivated for its vibrant orange-red flowers, oil-rich seeds, and traditional medicinal use. In Unani medicine, Qurtum seeds have historically been included in traditional formulations, valued by practitioners as part of preparations addressing various traditional health concerns. Beyond herbal medicine, safflower seeds are globally recognized as a source of safflower oil, a light cooking oil, and the plant’s flowers have traditionally been used as a natural dye and as a more affordable substitute for saffron in some regional cuisines (hence one of its common names, “false saffron”).

Found in attar shops, herbal pharmacies, and traditional pansari stores across Pakistan and the wider region, Qurtum remains a familiar name among practitioners preparing traditional herbal remedies.

Important Safety Note

Safflower seeds are a traditional herbal ingredient and should be used in the customary manner, ideally under the guidance of a qualified hakim, herbalist, or healthcare provider. Safflower is traditionally noted to have properties that may affect menstruation and pregnancy, so it is not recommended for use by pregnant or breastfeeding women without professional guidance. It is also not intended for self-medication or unsupervised use by children or individuals with existing health conditions, including those on blood-thinning medication, without consulting a doctor first.
