Regardless of its possible medicinal benefits, coumarin is an incredibly toxic substance, to the point that many governments restrict its levels in many products. Excess levels of coumarin can lead to kidney and liver damage or failure, and interfere with the body's ability to prevent bleeding. It may also be a cause of neurological dysfunctions in children.
