1,056 plants · 1,136 documented actions · graded against the research

Understand what medicinal plants
are right for yours

Not a list of remedies. A map of what each plant does in the body, which ones fit your biology rather than the average person's, and how they behave together — every claim graded against the published research, including where there isn't any.

What you'll understand

Stop guessing which plant, and why.

Most herbal advice hands you a list and hopes. This is the other thing — understanding what these plants do, which of them suit the body you actually have, and what the research does and doesn't support.

  • 1,136documented actions

    What a plant does in your body

    Not “good for sleep”. The actual documented actions — sedative, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory — and the conditions each one bears on. This is the difference between a remedy list and knowing why something is being suggested to you.

  • yoursnot the average body

    Which ones fit your biology

    Your constitution, your medications, your history. The same complaint in two people rarely points at the same plant, and anything that ignores that is guessing. Tell us how your body works and the map narrows to what applies to you.

  • 1,056plants, cross-referenced

    How they behave together

    Plants are rarely taken alone, and combinations are where most advice goes quiet. We build combinations that cover more of what your body is asking for, and surface the interactions instead of leaving you to find them.

  • 23,171claims with science behind them

    What the research actually says

    Every relationship carries its grade — human trial, laboratory work, or traditional use with no science reviewed — and the references behind it. You are never asked to take our word for it, which is the whole point.

What makes Sârv different

Every claim shows its work

64,061 relationships between 1,056 plants, 1,557 conditions and 1,173 pharmacological actions — and not one of them is stated without the grade of evidence behind it.

  • Clinical trial, whole plant23
  • Human data on an extract1,995
  • Laboratory or animal only21,153
  • Traditional use, no science reviewed40,890

64%

is folklore, and we say so

Nearly two thirds of what is written about herbs is traditional use with no science reviewed. It isn't worthless — but it isn't evidence, and you deserve to know which you're reading.

141

plants you'll never be handed

Herbs rated "do not self-administer" are hidden by default everywhere on this site — and every plant is checked for pregnancy and breastfeeding, including the 973 where the honest answer is that nobody knows yet.

121

named references, not vibes

Every relationship traces back to a citation you can look up — Commission E, WHO monographs, published trials. No "studies show".

One map, not ten thousand articles

Search a plant, a symptom or an action and follow the connections outward. The Atlas is the whole corpus in one view — 734 conditions have enough behind them to stand on their own.

Reviewed by people, not generated by a machine

The knowledge graph is extracted from published pharmacological reference works and checked against them. Editorial content is reviewed by The Sarv Health Team, and we publish how we work.

Where the evidence comes from

We don't write herbal claims. We re-model what published reference works already record, keep the citation attached, and show you the grade. Every source named — and every one of them something you can go and check yourself.

Handbook of Medicinal Herbs, 2nd ed.

James A. Duke et al. · 2002

A compilation, not an opinion: it indexes the primary literature rather than asserting its own claims, which is why every relationship arrives with citations already attached.

121

Named references behind the claims

Commission E · WHO · Martindale · PDR for Herbal Medicine

The claims trace past the compilation to the works themselves — the German Commission E monographs, WHO, Martindale, the PDR and 117 more. Every relationship carries the codes of the references behind it, so you can go and read the original.

Drugs and Lactation Database (LactMed)

US National Library of Medicine · public domain

Pregnancy and breastfeeding safety for every plant in the atlas. A US Government work, so where it has something to say we can show you its exact words rather than our summary of them.

World Flora Online

The global plant-name authority · CC0

Botanical synonyms, so ashwagandha and Withania somnifera resolve to one plant. Unglamorous, and the reason herbal sources contradict each other when it is missing.

What we don't do

  • We don't reproduce the source texts — we cite them.
  • We don't present traditional use as though it were clinical evidence.
  • We don't surface the 141 plants rated unsafe for self-administration unless you ask.
  • We don't publish a condition page without at least three plants behind it.

Who checks it

Editorial content is reviewed by The Sarv Health Team. The extraction pipeline is re-runnable and checked against the source works, and we publish how we work.

Your biology, not the average body

The same complaint in two people rarely points at the same plant. The Atlas is the evidence; this is how it becomes yours.

  1. 01

    Tell us about your body

    Your constitution, lifestyle, medications and health history. Not a quiz for its own sake — it is what decides whether you are shown the plant that suits you or the one that suits everybody.

  2. 02

    Get a recipe built for your biology

    Plants, preparations, amounts and timings chosen for you, each one traceable back to the actions and references behind it. Interactions and cautions are surfaced, not buried.

  3. 03

    See what moves the needle for you

    Track how you respond week to week. Herbs work slowly and memory is a poor instrument — a record is what turns a recommendation into something you know works for your body.

Membership

The evidence is free. The plan is what makes it yours.

Every plant, condition and citation on this site stays free to read — all 1,056 of them. What a membership adds is the part a reference library cannot do on its own: work out which of it applies to you, and stay with you while you try it.

  • A plan built around your body

    Your constitution, goals, medications and history decide what you are shown — not what is trending. Every suggestion is cross-checked for interactions before it reaches you.

  • Start from a symptom

    Describe what you are actually feeling and work back to the plants with the best evidence behind them, filtered for what is safe alongside anything you already take.

  • Find out what works for you

    Track how you respond over weeks. Herbs are slow and easy to misjudge from memory — a record tells you what to keep and what to drop.

  • Answers at any hour

    Ask a health question at two in the morning and get a considered answer in seconds. No appointment, no waiting room, no charge per question.

  • Habits that hold

    Sleep, energy, stress and routine tracked in one place, so a plan becomes something you follow rather than something you read once.

3 days free. Then $69.99 for the year — about $1.35 a week. Or $9.99 weekly if you would rather not commit.

Cancel any time during the trial and you are not charged.
