Infection
Infection is the condition or symptom label preserved in the historical source data. The label may be older, broader or less precise than current diagnostic terminology.
The database says that a source associated a plant with the label “Infection”. It does not show that the source used modern diagnostic criteria or that the plant was effective.

Preparation notes connected to the same use term
“Same plant” is not automatically “same use”. Each card states the connection type so the knowledge graph remains honest.

Safety and self-care boundary
Severe infection signs, persistent high fever, dehydration, confusion or rapid deterioration require medical assessment.
Plant identity, plant part, dose, preparation, route, interactions, pregnancy safety, toxicity and contraindications are not established by this association. Do not use it for self-diagnosis or self-medication.
