Automated publication scope
This archival record passed the strict source, formula, botanical identity and hazard gates. Automatic publication confirms record integrity and internal botanical linking; it does not establish clinical effectiveness or modern dosing safety.
Toxic / do not self-use
Do not self-use. The record remains public for historical, botanical and hazard research.
- 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.
