Every year, as we prepare to celebrate Holi, the festival of colors, we are reminded of the joy and togetherness it brings. Holi is a time to spread happiness, forget old grievances and embrace new beginnings. The tradition of colors symbolizes love, joy, and unity.
However, with growing awareness of the harmful effects of chemical-laden products, there’s a focus on choosing eco-friendly and safe options to celebrate without compromising our health or the environment.
In the midst of this, there’s one question that often goes overlooked: While we take great care in choosing safe and eco-friendly colors for Holi, how much do we really know about the kumkum and turmeric we use daily, especially during religious rituals and ceremonies?
Unfortunately, many people are unaware of the potential dangers hidden in these everyday items. The market today is flooded with chemically adulterated or synthetic versions of turmeric and Kumkum. These versions are often mixed with harmful chemicals such as azo dyes, artificial colorants, heavy metals, and preservatives to make the products more vibrant or longer-lasting. While they may look appealing, they can pose significant health risks, especially for children and individuals with sensitive skin.
Harmful Effects of Using Chemically Adulterated Turmeric and Kumkum:
- Toxicity: The presence of industrial dyes, lead, and heavy metals in both turmeric and kumkum can cause poisoning, skin irritation, and even organ damage.
- Skin Irritation: Harmful chemicals in both products can lead to rashes, redness, and burning, especially in children and individuals with sensitive skin.
- Allergic Reactions: Artificial chemicals can trigger allergic reactions like eczema, hives, and contact dermatitis.
- Reduced Medicinal Value: When turmeric is adulterated, its natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties are compromised, diminishing its health benefits.
- Long-term Health Risks: Accumulation of harmful chemicals in the body from both turmeric and kumkum can lead to chronic health issues, including organ damage.
Even though natural ingredients like turmeric and kumkum are widely used, their sources, processing and disposal methods can have unintended negative effects on the environment. To minimize our environmental footprint, it’s important to choose products that are organically grown and free from harmful pesticides and synthetic dyes.
