Curcumin is a biologically active polyphenolic compound found in turmeric, which have seen having a lot of health benefits. Taking large amounts of turmeric and curcumin in supplement form for long periods of time may cause stomach upset and, in extreme cases, ulcers. There is no direct scientific evidence proving the side effects of curcumin on hernias.
