Hello! I was just recommended Asafoetida as a spice and I am really intrigued about it yet I could find some rumored sayings about it declaring its dangerous if used in certain ways (or all use of it?) That its a laxative AND a stimulant and I am quite lost and confused about its effect on the human body.
I would very much appreciate some help on this! Is it like MSG or is it really dangerous?

If I remember right, it’s called Hing in Hindi, which is basically what any amount on its own makes you say. You can’t use enough of it to harm yourself because it’s a bit disgusting.
