We are very much aware of skin benefits of turmeric (haldi), but least we know that it has many side effects too. Turmeric is very sensitive and thus leads to many side effects. Let`s read about few of its disadvantages

Stomach Irritation

If your body is allergic to spices, then intake of turmeric might cause stomach irritation to you because of its sensitivity

Acidity

The large doses can sometimes cause heartburn or acidity or even both. You can either reduce the dosage you are taking or look for an alternative treatment method.

Nausea

One of the turmeric side effects experience  by people who take turmeric supplements in large quantities is that they experience some nausea. The severity will differ from person to person.

Anti-Clotting Agent

Turmeric acts as an anti-clotting agent. So people with bleeding disorders who take turmeric may experience light to mild bleeding. They may have bloody stool or may even vomit up blood.

Yellow Skin

If you have fair skin and use turmeric as a paste, it may leave your skin yellow after you have washed it off. While this is not a health problem, it can get you too embarrassed to step out of the house. Depending on how much turmeric you used and how long you left it on your face, your skin could remain yellow a few hours to several days.
