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.

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.

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.

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.
