Tuber Root of Common Turmeric … Safety & Interactions

Yu Jin · Radix Curcumae

Contraindications

  • Pregnancy without professional supervision
  • Heavy active bleeding without a clear blood-stasis rationale
  • Gallstone or bile-duct disease when concentrated extracts are being used

Cautions

  • Yu Jin moves both qi and blood and should not be reduced to the idea of harmless kitchen turmeric.
  • Concentrated Curcuma extracts are not equivalent to standard crude-herb dosing and may behave differently from decoction-style use.
