Live editorial status

This record was published without a human-review gate by site policy. Automated flags at publication: no primary ingredient taxon link, generic title requires manual verification, promotion title hygiene score below 90, not marked promotable, critical hazard archive only. Publication makes the source extraction inspectable; it does not verify identity, completeness, efficacy or safety.

  • 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, high risk botanical.
