    • 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: controlled or narcotic, high risk botanical.
