Turmeric, or "Haldi", is celebrated across kitchens and healing traditions alike — known for its golden hue, earthy aroma, and powerful medicinal properties. From lattes to lepas, it’s everywhere. But as with all natural remedies, more isn’t always better. At Haldi Rani, we honor turmeric’s incredible potential, but also encourage mindful use. In this blog, we’ll explore the potential side effects of turmeric, when to be cautious, and how to use it safely and effectively.

1. Digestive Discomfort in High Doses

Turmeric supports digestion when used in cooking. However, high supplemental doses (over 1,000 mg/day of curcumin) may lead to: - Nausea - Acid reflux - Stomach upset or bloating This is more likely when turmeric is taken without food or fat, or in extract form. Tip: Traditional Ayurvedic use always combines turmeric with ghee or oil — improving both digestion and absorption.
