It is true that the festival of colours can be so much harmful that it can cause severe damage to the organs especially kidney and liver. Some colours contain lead oxide which mixed with blood can damage the kidneys. Dry colours affect the metabolism process while wet colours that are easily dissolved in water quickly enter our health system and cause damage to our organs. We recommend that you consult a physician for a health check-up so that you can prevent severe damage by taking measures.

It is a wrong notion to think that creating shades at home is a very tiring job and takes a lot of time. It does not. If you want yellow colour, then mix turmeric with flour, for red you can use dried rose petals or hibiscus, for green, neem leaves or henna powder can be utilised. Organic is always preferred and it suffices to holi colours as well. It is essential for you to use eco-friendly colours and enjoy a safe holi.
Paste colours are better that dry colours.
5 of 5
Paste colours are no better than the dry colours that are available in the markets at a cheap rate. The metallic paste gives out a glistening effect of silver, golden and even white. The metallic paste contains substances that are highly toxic. For example, silver colour contains Aluminium Bromide which can be carcinogenic that can cause cancer. Avoid going for colours that are gaudy and cheap as it affects our health tremendously.
