How do we write about Ayurvedic herbs?
We describe traditional use the way Ayurveda describes it and keep the language calm and practical. A herb supports your wellbeing alongside good food, sleep and movement; it does not replace treatment your doctor has prescribed.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking regular medicines or living with a long-term condition, speak to your doctor before starting any new herb or supplement. Our medical disclaimer explains this in more detail.
