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, quality score below 70, not herbal remedy, not marked promotable, critical hazard archive only. Publication makes the source extraction inspectable; it does not verify identity, completeness, efficacy or safety.

Modern safety boundary

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: corrosive or toxic chemical, invasive or sensitive route, pediatric or infant use, serious disease claim.

Primary wording. Visible interpretation. No borrowed certainty.
