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, not marked promotable, critical hazard archive only. Publication makes the source extraction inspectable; it does not verify identity, completeness, efficacy or safety.
External use only
This boundary permits external context only. Do not convert it into an internal preparation.
- Unreviewed automated import: this record is public for live editorial inspection and has not passed manual identity, formula or safety review.
- Historical formula: ingredient identity, strength, contamination risk and terminology may differ from modern practice.
- Do not use this record as dosage or treatment guidance. Every ingredient, route and contraindication requires qualified editorial verification.
- The historical use wording does not establish modern clinical effectiveness.
- Automated review flags: high risk botanical, invasive or sensitive route.
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.
