Before the intervention, the mean levels of hemoglobin and hematocrit in the intervention and control groups were not statistically significant and the groups were homogeneous (P>۰.۰۵). There was no statistically significant difference between the mean intervention of hemoglobin and hematocrit in the first intervention group, the second intervention group and the control group after the intervention (P>۰.۰۵). however, no statistically significant difference was observed between the two intervention groups (P>۰.۰۵).Conclusions: The results of this study revealed that Honey saffron syrup had no significant effect on meanpostpartum hemoglobin and hematocrit.
