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.
Automated live-review record
This formula was extracted automatically from a historical source and published directly for live editorial inspection. It may contain OCR, title, botanical-identity, ingredient, structure or safety errors. Do not use it as treatment, dosage or self-care guidance.

- Pound according to the source passage: The root of Thalictrum majus, a native English species, according to the same authority, is "the best substitute for rhubarb, but requires a double dose." On this account the plant obtained the popular common name of Poor Man's Rhubarb. The first edition of Hooper's Medical Dictionary states (carried through the others) that the root of Thalictrum flavum is said to be "aperient and stomachic, and to come very near, in its virtues, to rhubarb, but is seldom used in this country (England)." Withering writes that a poultice of the leaves has been known to give ease in the sciatica ;
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. 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.
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.
