Exact source claims and related context are never blended together.
This hierarchy shows why a use appears beside the preparation. The strongest relationship comes first; contextual links remain explicitly labeled.
The preparation remains searchable as an archival method record without an invented indication.

Live editorial status
This record was published without a human-review gate by site policy. Automated flags at publication: no primary ingredient taxon link, title ingredient mismatch, not marked promotable, critical hazard archive only. Publication makes the source extraction inspectable; it does not verify identity, completeness, efficacy or safety.
Toxic / do not self-use
Do not self-use. The record remains public for historical, botanical and hazard research.

Primary wording. Visible interpretation. No borrowed certainty.
The public record separates the historical passage, structured preparation data, use relationship and modern safety boundary. Same-plant context is presented as context, never as proof that this preparation was intended for that use.
