~Turmeric Side Effects~

The health benefits of
turmeric are many, but
what about the side
effects?

In general, turmeric is
considered safe even at
higher doses. However,
turmeric does have some
contraindications.

It should be used with
caution by people with
gallstones, stomach ulcers,
or bile duct obstruction as
turmeric may exacerbate
these conditions.

Turmeric can be a uterine
stimulant, so pregnant
women should consult
with a doctor before
taking turmeric during
pregnancy.

People with serious liver
or heart conditions should
also consult with a doctor
before taking turmeric
supplements.
