Why this library exists
Herbal knowledge is scattered — traditional practice in one place, scientific research in another, safety information somewhere else entirely, if it's written down at all. This library exists to put them in one place, clearly labeled as what they are: traditional use, lab and animal research, research in people, and safety information, never blended into a single unproven claim.
It's an educational resource, not medical advice — always talk to a healthcare professional about your own situation.
