Legacy labels are translated into readable condition, symptom, traditional-action and hazard profiles while the original term remains visible.
Browse use meanings ↗What it was used for.
What can actually be prepared.
Each dossier connects three layers: a readable use meaning, a verified plant identity, and separately sourced recipes or methods where a real connection exists. Historical records stay visible without being mistaken for instructions.
Secure matches connect the source plant to taxonomy, synonyms, common names, poison flags and every other documented use in the herbarium.
Explore the herbarium ↗Curated preparation notes are linked separately as exact plant-and-use, same-plant, or same-use connections. Missing recipes are never fabricated.
Open preparation library ↗Search by use, plant or preparation context.
Every result leads to a dossier explaining what the use label means, which plant is named, how deep the documentation is, and whether the practical library contains a related recipe or method.

Data depth without invented certainty.
The dossier can explain the use vocabulary, plant identity, source depth and available preparation links. It still does not prove effectiveness or supply a missing plant part, dose, route or contraindication. Hazardous records remain searchable as data, never as recommendations.
