Dr. Saurabh Sethi, the Trend Gastroenterologist from Harvard, Stanford University of America, and AIIMS of India, often share health related videos on social media. He told him some time ago in one of his posts that people often question him about turmeric. He writes, I am often asked a question in the clinic which is quite simple but also necessary and that is that Is turmeric beneficial for your liver or harmful.
He wrote in his post, ‘Turmeric has been known for its merits for centuries and there are many reasons behind it. Mixing about half to one teaspoon of turmeric daily in vegetable, tea or milk milk is usually safe and it is also beneficial for liver health.
Turmeric beneficial but take care
He further writes, ‘But the real difficulty is when it comes to high-dose supplements. Some studies show that curcumin may reduce inflammation in fatty liver disease. Nevertheless, I have seen some cases in which the liver has been damaged by a lot of dose or some special supplements. Genetics, other medicines and doses being taken during that time, all these things matter.
